EXPLANATORY NOTE

The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A is to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008 and April 18, 2008 respectively, solely for the purpose of reflecting revised disclosures in response to comments received from the staff of the SEC. This Amendment No. 2 provides revised disclosures under the following captions:

Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, specifically, a new subsection was added entitled “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and the last paragraph in “Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls” was revised to delete the reference to omission of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting; and

Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K, specifically revised Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 certifications.

This report also contains certifications as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for amendments. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K, or modify or update in any way disclosures contained in such previous filings.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles due to the material weakness described below (the results of management’s assessment were reviewed with the Audit Committee). Not withstanding the material weakness, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of, and the consolidated results of operations for the year ended, December 31, 2007.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. We did not maintain a sufficient number of qualified resources with the required proficiency to apply our accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. This control deficiency resulted in adjustments, including audit adjustments recorded in the financial statements, affecting our tax provision and operating expenses. This control deficiency could result in misstatements of our financial statements and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. We were unable to remedy this material weakness due to our previously announced offshore program and strategic alternatives process which we believe limited our ability to hire qualified staff. Furthermore, on March 10, 2008, we announced a merger agreement with TriQuint Semiconductors and we believe that we will continue to be unable to attract and hire additional qualified resources until after the merger is completed and may suffer turnover of our existing staff during this period which we expect will require us to implement additional compensating controls.

Subsequent to the issuance of our December 31, 2006 financial statements, we had determined we had not properly recorded the restructuring accrual that was established in 2001 and 2002. As a result, we had concluded in 2007, after discussions with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, that we should restate our previously filed financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 in order to correct this error. As a result of our determination that the errors should be corrected and that previously filed financial statements should be restated, management had concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We have already taken actions to remediate the material weakness described in this paragraph, however the effectiveness of the steps we have taken to date is subject to continued management review, as well as Audit Committee oversight.

We cannot guarantee that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process

documentation, accounting policies and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring is performed by or under the supervision of our internal accounting and finance organization. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles due solely to the material weakness noted above in “Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures”.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Commencing with the 2006 annual report and continuing with the 2007 annual report on Form 10-K the Company is not deemed to be an accelerated filer because its public float was below the required threshold as of the last business day of its 2006 second fiscal quarter and most recently completed second fiscal quarter. As a result of becoming a non-accelerated filer, the Company is permitted to elect to suspend Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 obligations to provide a auditor attestation report regarding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. The Company has elected to suspend such auditor attestation reporting obligations under Section 404 which election was approved by the Audit Committee.
