CIRRUS LOGIC, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc.
(we, us, our, or the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (Commission). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements do not include complete footnotes and financial presentations. As a result, these
financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended March 29, 2008, included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Commission on May 29, 2008. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, operating results and cash flows, for those periods presented. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results
could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Moreover, the results of operations for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141
(revised 2007) provides for several changes in the manner in which an entity accounts for business
combinations. It establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes fair values
of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires
the acquirer to recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, including
goodwill, even if the acquirer has acquired less than 100% of the target. As a result, the current
step-acquisition model will be eliminated. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires that transaction costs
be expensed as incurred and are not considered part of the fair value of an acquirers interest.
Under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), acquired research and development value will no longer be expensed
at acquisition, but instead will be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, subject to
impairment accounting throughout its development stage and then subject to amortization and
impairment after development is complete. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. The
impact of adopting SFAS 141R will be dependent on the future business combinations that the Company
may pursue after its effective date.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provides for delayed
application of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those years. The Company adopted certain provisions of SFAS 157 effective March 30, 2008 (see Note
2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information). The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of the
provisions deferred by Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements as of March 30, 2008, to measure the
fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. Under
SFAS 157, based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is
required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value
hierarchy ranks the quality
-6-
and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and
liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three
categories:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted
prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term
of the assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. |
The following table represents the Companys fair value hierarchy for its financial assets
(cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2008

5. Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of $36 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009,
yielding an effective tax rate of 1.7 percent. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009 is based on an estimated effective tax rate that is derived from an estimate of
consolidated earnings before taxes for fiscal year 2009 and consisted primarily of estimated income
taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions. The estimated effective tax rate is impacted primarily
by the worldwide mix of consolidated earnings before taxes and an assessment regarding the
realizability of our deferred tax assets. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year
2009 was less than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a portion
of our U.S. deferred tax asset, which had been subjected to a valuation allowance.
We recorded an income tax provision of $15 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
which consisted primarily of estimated income taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions and the
U.S. alternative minimum tax. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was less
than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a portion of our U.S.
deferred tax asset, which had been subjected to a valuation allowance.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation
(FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to
be taken on a tax return. We had $2.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2007, and
$0.1 million at June 28, 2008. All of the unrecognized tax benefits are associated with tax
carryforwards that, if recognized, would have no effect on the effective tax rate because the
recognition of the associated deferred tax asset would be offset by an increase to the valuation
allowance. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we had a gross decrease of $0.1 million
to our unrecognized tax benefits related to a tax position taken in a prior year. We do not expect
that our unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months. Our continuing
policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
As of June 28, 2008, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was zero. No interest or
penalties were incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax
in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The fiscal years 2005 through 2008 remain open to
examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. The Internal Revenue
Service is currently auditing fiscal year 2006.

As of June 28, 2008, we had a remaining accrual from all of our past restructurings of $2.6
million, primarily related to net lease expenses that will be paid over their respective lease
terms through fiscal year 2013, along with other anticipated lease termination costs. We have
classified $1.6 million of this restructuring accrual as long-term.

7. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted effect of common shares issued and
outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted average shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income
by the basic weighted average number of common shares used in the basic net income per share
calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion
of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
The weighted average outstanding options excluded from our diluted calculation for the quarter
ended June 28, 2008, and June 30, 2007, were 6,050,000 and 3,344,000, respectively, as the exercise
price exceeded the average market price during the respective periods.
8. Legal Matters
Derivative Lawsuits
On January 5, 2007, a purported stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the state district
court in Travis County, Texas against current and former officers and directors of Cirrus Logic and
against the Company, as a nominal defendant, alleging various breaches of fiduciary duties,
conspiracy, improper financial reporting, insider trading, violations of the Texas Securities Act,
unjust enrichment, accounting, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, rescission, and waste of
corporate assets related to certain prior grants of stock options by the Company. Our response to
the lawsuit was filed on April 20, 2007. On June 12, 2007, the state district court stayed the
lawsuit until a final determination is reached in the District Court actions described below.
Two additional lawsuits arising out of the same claims have been filed in federal court in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Texas Austin Division. Between March
19, 2007, and March 30, 2007, two purported stockholders filed derivative lawsuits related to the
Companys prior stock option grants against current and former officers and directors of Cirrus
Logic and against the Company, as a nominal defendant. The individual defendants named in these
lawsuits overlap, but not completely, with the state suit. The lawsuits allege many of the causes
of action alleged in the Texas state court suit, but also include claims for alleged violations of
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act
and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
On July 16, 2007, the plaintiffs in the two federal cases filed a motion to voluntarily
dismiss their claims in the federal court and indicated their intent to coordinate their efforts in
the state district court case. After a hearing on the plaintiffs motion, the court denied the
plaintiffs motion and required the two purported stockholders to file a consolidated complaint in
federal court. A consolidated complaint, including substantially similar allegations to the two
previous complaints, was filed on October 11, 2007. In response to the consolidated complaint,
Cirrus Logic filed a motion to dismiss on November 15, 2007 based on the plaintiffs failure to
make demand on the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic (the Board) prior to filing this action
(the demand futility motion). The plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion on December 14,
2007. In January 2008, the court ordered a stay to allow the parties to engage in mediation and
attempt to reach resolution. After two mediation sessions, we have not resolved the matter. We
expect the court to hear our motion to dismiss this fall.
We intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. However, we cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of this litigation and we are unable to estimate any potential liability we may incur.
Silvaco Data Systems
On December 8, 2004, Silvaco Data Systems (Silvaco) filed suit against us, and others, in
Santa Clara County Superior Court (the Court), alleging misappropriation of trade secrets,
conversion, unfair business practices, and civil conspiracy. Silvacos complaint stems from a
trade secret dispute between Silvaco and a software vendor, Circuit Semantics, Inc., who supplied
us with certain software design tools.
-9-
Silvaco alleges that our use of Circuit Semantics design tools infringes upon Silvacos trade
secrets and that we are liable for compensatory damages in the sum of $10 million. Silvaco has not
indicated how it will substantiate this amount of damages and we are unable to reasonably estimate
the amount of damages, if any.
On January 25, 2005, we answered Silvacos complaint by denying any wrong-doing. In addition,
we filed a cross-complaint against Silvaco alleging breach of contract relating to Silvacos
refusal to provide certain technology that would enable us to use certain unrelated software tools.
On July 5, 2007, the Court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings, determining that
all claims except for the misappropriation of trade secrets claims were pre-empted by trade secret
law. On October 15, 2007, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the trade secret
misappropriation claim because we presented undisputed evidence that Silvaco will be unable to
prove that Cirrus misappropriated Silvacos trade secrets.
On February 12, 2008, we settled our cross-complaint against Silvaco, whereby Silvaco agreed
to pay Cirrus $30,000 as full and final restitution of all claims that could have been alleged in
the cross-complaint.
Based on these orders and the settlement of the cross-complaint, the Court entered judgment in
our favor on Silvacos complaint and our cross-complaint on March 4, 2008. As a result of the
favorable judgment, on May 16, 2008, the court awarded approximately $59,000 for our expenses in
defending the suit.
On April 7, 2008, Silvaco filed a notice of appeal on these matters. We anticipate that the
appeal will be heard by the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Sixth Appellate District in
the last half of calendar year 2008.
At this stage of the litigation, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome and we are unable to
estimate any potential liability we may incur.
Other Claims
From time to time, other various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced
against us arising from, or related to, contractual matters, intellectual property, employment
disputes, as well as other issues. Frequent claims and litigation involving these types of issues
are not uncommon in our industry. As to any of these claims or litigation, we cannot predict the
ultimate outcome with certainty.

10. Stockholders Equity
On January 30, 2008, we announced that our Board authorized a share repurchase program of up
to $150 million. The Company repurchased 13.3 million shares of its common stock for $71.1 million
during fiscal year 2008, which included $8.3 million of accrued share repurchases that were
cash-settled in fiscal year 2009. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we continued our
stock repurchase activity by repurchasing a total of 11.2 million shares of our common stock for
$78.9 million as part of this program. As of June 28, 2008 the share repurchase program is
completed, with a cumulative 24.5 million shares acquired at a total cost of $150 million. All of
these shares were repurchased in the open market and were funded from existing cash. All shares of
our common stock that were repurchased have been cancelled as of June 28, 2008.
11. Segment Information
We are a premier supplier of high-precision analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits
(ICs) for a broad range of consumer, professional, and industrial markets. We develop and market
ICs and embedded software used by original equipment manufacturers. We determine our operating
segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 (SFAS 131),
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Our chief executive officer
(CEO) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by SFAS 131. We
report revenue in two product categories: Audio Products and Industrial Products.
Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial
performance and allocate resources, rather than detailed information at a product line level.
Additionally, our product lines have similar characteristics and customers. They share operations
support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and
development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of
human resources, legal, finance and information technology.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read along with the unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2008,
contained in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(Commission) on May 29, 2008. We maintain a web site at www.cirrus.com, which makes available
free of charge our recent annual report and all other filings we have made with the SEC. This
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and certain
information incorporated herein by reference contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections and the beliefs and assumptions of our
management including, without limitation,
-11-
our expectations regarding second quarter sales, gross
margins, and combined research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses.
In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by words such as expect, anticipate,
target, project, believe, goals, estimates, intend and variations of these types of
words and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. In
addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies or other
characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are
cautioned that these forward-looking statements are predictions and are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ
materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no
obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by our forward-looking statements are those discussed in Item 1A Risk Factors
Affecting our Business and Prospects in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Commission on May 29, 2008. Readers should carefully review these risk factors, as well as those
identified in the documents filed by us with the Commission.
Overview
Cirrus Logic (we, us, our, or the Company) develops high-precision, analog and
mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) for a broad range of consumer and industrial markets.
Building on our diverse analog mixed-signal patent portfolio, Cirrus Logic delivers highly
optimized products for consumer and commercial audio, automotive entertainment, industrial and
aerospace applications. We develop and market ICs and embedded software used by original equipment
manufacturers.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are
based upon the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report, which have been
prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts. We evaluate the estimates on an on-going basis. We base these estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We also have policies that
we consider to be key accounting policies, such as our policies for revenue recognition, including
the deferral of revenues and cost of sales on sales to our distributors, and our stock option
granting practices; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting
estimates because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are
difficult or subjective.
We believe the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgments and
estimates that are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
|
|
For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation
expense under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R) (SFAS No. 123(R)), we perform an analysis of
current market data and historical company data to calculate an estimate of implied
volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the
exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as
variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock
options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the
results presented in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. In addition,
any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material
impact on our financial statements. |
|
|
|
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability or failure of our customers to make required payments. We regularly evaluate our
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the age of the receivable, our ongoing customer
relations, |
-12-
|
|
as well as any disputes with the customer. If the financial condition of our
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required, which could have a material effect on our operating
results and financial position. Additionally, we may maintain an allowance for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses on receivables from customers with whom we are involved in
litigation. |
|
|
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. We write down inventories to net realizable value based on
forecasted demand, management judgment and the age of inventory. Actual demand and market
conditions may be different from those projected by management, which could have a material
effect on our operating results and financial position. |
|
|
|
We evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (SFAS No. 144),
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We test for impairment
losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and
the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the
assets carrying amounts. An impairment loss is recognized in the event the carrying value of
these assets exceeds the fair value of the applicable assets. Impairment evaluations involve
management estimates of asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and
cash flows could be different from those estimated by management, which could have a material
effect on our operating results and financial position. |
|
|
|
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Goodwill is recorded at the time
of an acquisition and is calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid
for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.
Accounting for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to
allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets
acquired, including in-process research and development (IPR&D). Goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment
tests. The amounts and useful lives assigned to other intangible assets impact the amount and
timing of future amortization, and the amount assigned to IPR&D is expensed immediately. If
the assumptions and estimates used to allocate the purchase price are not correct, or if
business conditions change, purchase price adjustments or future asset impairment charges
could be required. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company tests goodwill for impairment
on an annual basis or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist.
The value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, could be impacted by future adverse
changes such as: (i) any future declines in our operating results, (ii) a decline in the
valuation of technology company stocks, including the valuation of our common stock, (iii) a
significant slowdown in the worldwide economy and the semiconductor industry or (iv) any
failure to meet the performance projections included in our forecasts of future operating
results. We evaluate these assets, including purchased intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives, on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.
Evaluations involve management estimates of asset useful lives and future cash flows.
Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that
are used in the evaluations. It is possible, however, that the plans and estimates used may be
incorrect. If our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment
analysis, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these
assets, we could incur additional impairment charges in a future period. As previously
discussed in Item 1 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, SFAS 141 (revised 2007) will
change the manner in which the Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets
acquired through business combinations, and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The impact of adopting SFAS 141R
will be dependent on the future business combinations that the Company may pursue after its
effective date. |
-13-
|
|
Our available-for-sale investments, non-marketable securities and other investments are
subject to a periodic impairment review pursuant to EITF 03-1. Investments are considered to
be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. This
determination requires significant judgment and actual results may be materially different
than our estimate. Marketable securities are evaluated for impairment if the decline in fair
value below cost basis is significant and/or has lasted for an extended period of time.
Non-marketable securities or other investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in
fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. For investments accounted for using the cost
method of accounting, we evaluate information (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial
statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market price, if any, in determining whether an
other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary
decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of
financings at an amount below the cost basis of the investment. This list is not all inclusive
and we weigh all quantitative and qualitative factors in determining if an
other-than-temporary decline in value of an investment has occurred. When a decline in value
is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we recognize an impairment loss in the current periods
operating results to the extent of the decline. Actual values could be different from those
estimated by management, which could have a material effect on our operating results and
financial position. |
|
|
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109),
Accounting for Income Taxes, we provide for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. We have provided a valuation allowance
against a substantial portion of our net U.S. deferred tax assets due to uncertainties
regarding their realization. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a
quarterly basis by determining whether or not the anticipated pre-tax income for the upcoming
twelve months is expected to be sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets that we have
recognized. If our future income is not sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets that we
have recognized, we increase the valuation allowance to the point at which all of the
remaining recognized deferred tax assets will be utilized by the anticipated future pre-tax
income for the next twelve months. An increase in the valuation allowance results in a
simultaneous increase to income tax expense or, in some cases, a decrease in contributed
capital. If our anticipated future pre-tax income is sufficient to conclude that additional
deferred tax assets should be recognized, we decrease the valuation allowance. This results
in a simultaneous decrease to income tax expense or, possibly, an increase in contributed
capital. |
|
|
|
Restructuring charges for workforce reductions and facilities consolidations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements were accrued based upon specific plans established by
management, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3 (EITF 94-3), Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) or SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities depending upon the time of the restructuring
activity. We use an estimated borrowing rate as the discount rate for all of our
restructuring accruals made under SFAS No. 146. Our facilities consolidation accruals are
based upon our estimates as to the length of time a facility would be vacant, as well as the
amount of sublease income we would receive once we sublet the facility, after considering
current and projected market conditions. Changes in these estimates could result in an
adjustment to our restructuring accruals in a future quarter, which could have a material
effect on our operating results and financial position. |
|
|
|
We are subject to the possibility of loss contingencies for various legal matters. We
regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether any accruals
should be made based on the status of the case, the results of the discovery process and
other factors. If we ultimately determine that an accrual should be made for a legal matter,
this accrual could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position and
the ultimate outcome may be materially different than our estimate. |

Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 increased $2.9 million, or 7 percent, to
$44.0 million from $41.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Industrial products
net sales increased $3.3 million, or 18 percent, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 from
the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year substantially due to the contributions from our
precision amplifier products, which were acquired in July, 2007. Net sales from our audio products
declined $0.5 million, or 2 percent, due primarily to decreases in sales of our audio analog to
digital converters, digital to audio converters, interface products, and audio processors. These
sales decreases were substantially offset by increases in sales of portable products and surround
codecs.
Export sales, principally to Asia, including sales to U.S.-based customers with manufacturing
plants overseas, were 62 percent and 60 percent of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal
years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. As a
result, we have not entered into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts.
We had no direct customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of our sales. We had one
distributor that represented 33 percent and 30 percent of our sales for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009 and fiscal year 2008, respectively.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 56.0 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, down from 59.2 percent
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by a
change in both customer and product mix, and in particular by the recent growth in our portable
products.

Research and development expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $11.6 million,
an increase of $0.7 million from $10.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. This
increase was primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.3 million,
substantially as a result of the Apex acquisition in July 2007, coupled with higher outside product
development expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $12.0
million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and benefit costs of $0.7
million. Additionally, professional expenses decreased by $0.3 million, largely due to charges
related to our external stock option review during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, which did
not occur in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Interest Income
Interest income was $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal years 2009
and 2008, respectively. The decrease of $2.6 million was primarily due to decreased cash, cash
equivalents, and marketable securities balances on which interest was earned coupled with lower
rates of return on our investment portfolio. The average interest-earning portfolio balance during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $145 million, down from $275 million for the
corresponding period of fiscal year 2008. The decrease in the balance was primarily attributable to
the Companys $150 million common stock repurchases completed during the first half of calendar
year 2008.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of $36 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009,
yielding an effective tax rate of 1.7 percent. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009 is based on an estimated effective tax rate that is derived from an estimate of
consolidated earnings before taxes for fiscal year 2009 and consisted primarily of estimated income
taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions. The estimated effective tax rate is impacted primarily
by the worldwide mix of consolidated earnings before taxes and an assessment regarding the
realizability of our deferred tax assets. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year
2009 was less than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a portion
of our U.S. deferred tax asset, which had been subjected to a valuation allowance.
We realized income tax expense of $15 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008,
which consisted primarily of estimated income taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions and the
U.S. alternative minimum tax. Our tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was less
than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a portion of our U.S.
deferred tax asset, which had been subjected to a valuation allowance.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141
(revised 2007) provides for several changes in the manner in which an entity accounts for business
combinations. It establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes fair values
of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires
the acquirer to recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, including
goodwill, even if the acquirer has acquired less than 100% of the target. As a result, the current
step-acquisition model will be eliminated. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires that transaction costs
be expensed as incurred and are not considered part of the fair value of an acquirers interest.
Under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), acquired research and development value will no longer be expensed
at acquisition, but instead will be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, subject to
impairment accounting throughout its development stage and then subject to amortization and
impairment after development is complete. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008.
Adoption is prospective and
early adoption is not permitted. The impact of adopting SFAS 141R will be dependent on the future
business combinations that the Company may pursue after its effective date.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provides for delayed
application of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those years. The Company adopted certain provisions of SFAS 157 effective December 30, 2007 (see
Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information). The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of the
provisions deferred by Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we generated approximately $2.2 million in cash
from operating activities. The primary increase in cash from operations was related to the cash
components of our net income, coupled with a $1.1 million decrease in accounts receivable and a
$1.0 million decrease in other current assets. These increases in cash from operations were
partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.1 million and an
increase in inventory of $1.5 million. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we generated
approximately $5.0 million of cash and cash equivalents from operating activities. The increase in
cash from operations during this period was primarily related to the cash components of our net
income, partially offset by a planned increase in inventory of $1.0 million to accommodate
projected revenue growth.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $68.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009, primarily as a result of the net proceeds of $68.9 million from our available-for-sale
securities partially offset by purchases of property, equipment, and software $0.6 million. Net
cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year
2008, primarily as a result of the net proceeds of $3.8 million from our available-for-sale
securities partially offset by investments in technology and equipment of approximately $3.5
million, primarily resulting from the purchase of certain intellectual property from Tripath
Technology, Inc.
We used $85.8 million in cash from financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009, due primarily to the use of $87.2 million to complete the share repurchases previously
discussed in Note 10 Stockholders Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in Item 1, partially offset by the issuance of common stock in connection with option
exercises and our employee stock purchase plan of $1.4 million. We generated $4.3 million in cash
from financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, due primarily to the
issuance of common stock in connection with option exercises and our employee stock purchase plan.
As of June 28, 2008, we have restricted cash of $5.7 million, which primarily secures certain
obligations under our lease agreement for the headquarters and engineering facility in Austin,
Texas.
We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and currently intend to continue our
policy of retaining any earnings for reinvestment in our business. Although we cannot give
assurance that we will be able to generate cash in the future, we anticipate that our existing
capital resources and cash flow generated from future operations will enable us to maintain our
current level of operations for at least the next 12 months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks associated with interest rates on our debt securities, currency
movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities, and the affect of market factors
on the value of our non-marketable equity securities. We assess these risks on a regular basis and
have established policies that are designed to protect against the adverse effects of these and
other potential exposures. There have been no significant changes in our interest rate or foreign
exchange risk since we filed our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K on May 29, 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure control and procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.
Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) concluded that, as of
June 28, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at providing reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms and that our controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to material information required to be included in this report.
Changes in control over financial reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Derivative Lawsuits
On January 5, 2007, a purported stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the state district
court in Travis County, Texas against current and former officers and directors of Cirrus Logic and
against the Company, as a nominal defendant, alleging various breaches of fiduciary duties,
conspiracy, improper financial reporting, insider trading, violations of the Texas Securities Act,
unjust enrichment, accounting, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, rescission, and waste of
corporate assets related to certain prior grants of stock options by the Company. Our response to
the lawsuit was filed on April 20, 2007. On June 12, 2007, the state district court stayed the
lawsuit until a final determination is reached in the District Court actions described below.
Two additional lawsuits arising out of the same claims have been filed in federal court in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Texas Austin Division. Between March
19, 2007, and March 30, 2007, two purported stockholders filed derivative lawsuits related to the
Companys prior stock option grants against current and former officers and directors of Cirrus
Logic and against the Company, as a nominal defendant. The individual defendants named in these
lawsuits overlap, but not completely, with the state suit. The lawsuits allege many of the causes
of action alleged in the Texas state court suit, but also include claims for alleged violations of
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act
and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
On July 16, 2007, the plaintiffs in the two federal cases filed a motion to voluntarily
dismiss their claims in the federal court and indicated their intent to coordinate their efforts in
the state district court case. After a hearing on the plaintiffs motion, the court denied the plaintiffs
-18-
motion and
required the two purported stockholders to file a consolidated complaint in federal court. A
consolidated complaint, including substantially similar allegations to the two previous complaints,
was filed on October 11, 2007. In response to the consolidated complaint, Cirrus Logic filed a
motion to dismiss on November 15, 2007 based on the plaintiffs failure to make demand on the Board
of Directors of Cirrus Logic (the Board) prior to filing this action (the demand futility
motion). The plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion on December 14, 2007. In January 2008,
the court ordered a stay to allow the parties to engage in mediation and attempt to reach
resolution. After two mediation sessions, we have not resolved the matter. We expect the court to
hear our motion to dismiss this fall.
We intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. However, we cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of this litigation and we are unable to estimate any potential liability we may incur.
Silvaco Data Systems
On December 8, 2004, Silvaco Data Systems (Silvaco) filed suit against us, and others, in
Santa Clara County Superior Court (the Court), alleging misappropriation of trade secrets,
conversion, unfair business practices, and civil conspiracy. Silvacos complaint stems from a
trade secret dispute between Silvaco and a software vendor, Circuit Semantics, Inc., who supplied
us with certain software design tools. Silvaco alleges that our use of Circuit Semantics design
tools infringes upon Silvacos trade secrets and that we are liable for compensatory damages in the
sum of $10 million. Silvaco has not indicated how it will substantiate this amount of damages and
we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount of damages, if any.
On January 25, 2005, we answered Silvacos complaint by denying any wrong-doing. In addition,
we filed a cross-complaint against Silvaco alleging breach of contract relating to Silvacos
refusal to provide certain technology that would enable us to use certain unrelated software tools.
On July 5, 2007, the Court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings, determining that
all claims except for the misappropriation of trade secrets claims were pre-empted by trade secret
law. On October 15, 2007, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the trade secret
misappropriation claim because we presented undisputed evidence that Silvaco will be unable to
prove that Cirrus misappropriated Silvacos trade secrets.
On February 12, 2008, we settled our cross-complaint against Silvaco, whereby Silvaco agreed
to pay Cirrus $30,000 as full and final restitution of all claims that could have been alleged in
the cross-complaint.
Based on these orders and the settlement of the cross-complaint, the Court entered judgment in
our favor on Silvacos complaint and our cross-complaint on March 4, 2008. As a result of the
favorable judgment, on May 16, 2008, the court awarded approximately $59,000 for our expenses in
defending the suit.
On April 7, 2008, Silvaco filed a notice of appeal on these matters. We anticipate that the
appeal will be heard by the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Sixth Appellate District in
the last half of calendar year 2008.
At this stage of the litigation, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome and we are unable to
estimate any potential liability we may incur.
Other Claims
From time to time, other various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced
against us arising from, or related to, contractual matters, intellectual property, employment
disputes, as well as other issues. Frequent claims and litigation involving these types of issues
are not uncommon in our industry. As to any of these claims or litigation, we cannot predict the
ultimate outcome with certainty.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In evaluating all forward-looking statements, readers should specifically consider risk
factors that may cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. Various risk factors associated with our business are included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2008, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (Commission) on May 29, 2008 and available at www.sec.gov. There have been no
material changes to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 29, 2008, which was filed with the Commission on May 29, 2008.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On January 30, 2008, we announced that our Board authorized a share repurchase program of up
to $150 million. The Company repurchased 13.3 million shares of its common stock for $71.1 million
during fiscal year 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we continued our stock
repurchase activity by repurchasing a total of 11.2 million shares of our common stock for $78.9
million as part of this program. As of June 28, 2008 the share repurchase program is completed,
with a cumulative 24.5 million shares acquired at a total cost of $150 million. All of these shares
were repurchased in the open market and were funded from existing cash. All shares of our common
stock that were repurchased have been cancelled as of June 28, 2008. The following table summarizes
repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended June 28, 2008:
