NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

For financial reporting purposes, LSI Corporation (“LSI” or the “Company”) reports on a 13- or 14-week quarter with the year ending December 31. The second quarter of 20112012 and 20102011 consisted of 13 weeks each and ended on July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, and on July 4, 2010, respectively. The first six months of 2011 and 2010 consisted of approximately 26 weeks each. The results of operations for the three and six monthsquarter ended July 3, 20111, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

On January 3, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of SandForce, Inc. (“SandForce”) for total consideration of approximately $346.4 million, net of cash acquired. SandForce was a provider of flash storage processors for enterprise and client flash solutions and solid state drives. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of SandForce and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from January 3, 2012.

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its external storage systems business to NetApp, Inc. (“NetApp”). The results of the external storage systems business are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and, as such, have been excluded from all line items other than “income“Income from discontinued operations” for all periods presented. Since the first quarter of 2011, the Company operates in one reportable segment. Before it was sold, the external storage systems business was part of the Storage Systems segment. The results of the redundant array of independent disks (“RAID”) adapter business, which were formerly included in the Storage Systems segment, are now included in the Company’s remaining reportable segment.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods presented. While the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements not yet effective:adopted:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional guidance on fair value measurements and related disclosures. The new guidance clarifies the application of existing guidance on fair value measurement for non-financial assets and requires the disclosure of quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement. ThisThe Company adopted this guidance is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance willdid not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amended guidance also requires presentation of adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This guidance is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact of the adoption of this guidance on its results of operations and financial position.

Pronouncements adopted during the six months ended July 3, 2011:
     In October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance on multiple-deliverable arrangements to address how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration. The new guidance requires the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for the deliverables in an arrangement when a vendor does not have specific objective evidence of selling price or third party evidence of selling price. In addition, excluding specific software revenue guidance, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted, and an entity is required to allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to include both quantitative and qualitative information. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2011.2012. The adoption did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

6


     In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance to clarify that tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality will be considered non-software deliverables and will be scoped out of the software revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
     In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to clarify that, when presenting comparative financial statements for business combinations that occurred during the current year, a public entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In connection with the SandForce acquisition, the Company assumed stock options and RSUs originally granted by SandForce. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended July 1, 2012 included $4.5 million of expense related to the accelerated vesting of stock options and RSUs for certain SandForce employees in January 2012. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 also includes $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, related to stock options and RSUs assumed.

The Company has issued RSUs that will not vest unless specified performance criteria are met. In the first quarter of 2012, the compensation committee of the board of directors authorized additional vesting of performance-based RSUs where the Company’s performance had been adversely affected as a result of the flooding that occurred in Thailand in the fourth quarter of 2011 and as a result, vesting levels would have been lower. The Company recognized $1.6 million and $6.0 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the additional vesting for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. No executive officers were included in the group of employees that received additional vesting. Executive officers hold RSUs, the vesting of which depends on the Company’s performance compared to specified peer companies over a three-year period. Based on the Company’s latest available financial performance, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the executive officer performance grants for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to the executive officer performance grants for the three or six months ended July 3, 2011.

  $ 319,231  

Fair value of partially vested equity awards

   19,089  

Fair value of LSI’s previous investment in SandForce

   8,120  
  

 

 

 

Total

  $346,440  
  

 

 

 

In connection with the SandForce acquisition, the Company assumed stock options and RSUs originally granted by SandForce and converted them into LSI stock options and RSUs. The portion of the fair value of partially vested equity awards associated with prior service of SandForce employees represents a component of the total consideration for the SandForce acquisition, as presented above. Stock options assumed were valued using a binomial lattice model calibrated to the exercise behavior of LSI’s employees. RSUs were valued based on LSI’s stock price as of the acquisition date.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company held an equity interest in SandForce. The Company determined the fair value by applying the per share value of the contractual cash consideration to the SandForce shares held by the Company immediately prior to the acquisition. The fair value of the Company’s pre-acquisition investment in SandForce represents a component of total consideration, as presented above. As a result of re-measuring the pre-acquisition equity interest in SandForce to fair value, the Company recognized a gain of $5.8 million, which was included in interest income and other, net, for the six month period ended July 1, 2012.

The allocation of the purchase price to SandForce’s tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values.

The purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

Accounts receivable

  $10,711  

Inventory

   24,268  

Identified intangible assets

   172,400  

Goodwill

   183,461  

Net deferred tax liabilities

   (43,198

Other, net

   (1,202
  

 

 

 

Total

  $346,440  
  

 

 

 

The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of SandForce and synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of LSI and SandForce. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.

Identified intangible assets were comprised of the following:

   Fair Value   Weighted-
Average  Life
 
   (In thousands)   (In years) 

Current technology

  $73,400     4.0  

Customer relationships

   41,700     7.0  

Order backlog

   4,500     0.5  

Trade names

   1,500     3.0  
  

 

 

   

Total identified intangible assets subject to amortization

   121,100     4.9  

In-process research and development

   51,300    
  

 

 

   

Total identified intangible assets

  $172,400    
  

 

 

   

The allocation of the purchase price to identified intangible assets acquired was based on the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of such assets. Fair value for acquired identified intangible assets is determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As such, acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets.

The fair value of each of the acquired identified intangible assets was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The cash flows for each category of identified intangible assets represent the estimated incremental effect on the Company’s cash flows directly attributable to that intangible asset over its estimated remaining life. Estimated cash flows represent expected incremental revenues, net of returns on contributory assets and after considering estimated incremental operating costs and income taxes. Discount rates ranging from 12.9% to 17.9% were used based on the cost of capital, adjusted to reflect the specific risk associated with each of the cash flows.

Current technology represents the fair value of SandForce products that had reached technological feasibility and were a part of its product offering. Customer relationships represent the fair values of the underlying relationships with SandForce’s customers.

In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) represents the fair value of incomplete research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of the acquisition. At the time of acquisition, SandForce had IPR&D related to its next generation flash storage processor (the “Griffin project”). At July 1, 2012, expected costs to complete the Griffin project are approximately $24 million through its anticipated completion date in 2013. Total revenues for the Griffin project are expected to extend through 2018. The acquisition date fair value of the Griffin project will be either amortized or impaired depending on whether the project is completed or abandoned.

From January 3, 2012 through July 1, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $77.0 million of revenues related to the SandForce business. In addition, during the six months ended July 1, 2012, the Company recognized $8.4 million of acquisition-related costs included in restructuring of operations and other items, net, related to SandForce. It is impracticable to determine the effect on net income resulting from the SandForce acquisition for the six months ended July 1, 2012, as the Company immediately integrated SandForce into its ongoing operations. As such, the impact of SandForce is not separable from the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Historical pro forma results giving effect to the acquisition have not been presented because such effect is not material to the prior period financial results.

Note 6 — Benefit Obligations

In 2007, the Company acquired Agere Systems Inc. (“Agere”). The Company has pension plans covering substantially all former Agere Systems Inc. (“Agere”) U.S. employees, excluding management employees hired after June 30, 2003. Retirement benefits are offeredprovided under defined benefit pension plans, which include a management plan and a represented plan. The payments under the management plan are based on an adjusted career-average-pay formula or a cash-balance program. The cash-balance program provides for annual company contributions based on a participant’s age and compensation and interest on existing balances. It covers employees of certain companies acquired by Agere since 1996 and management employees hired after January 1, 1999 and before July 1, 2003. The payments under the represented plan are based on a dollar-per-month formula. Since February 2009, there have been no active participants under the represented plan. The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental pension plan in the U.S. that principally provides benefits based on compensation in excess of amounts that can be considered under a tax qualified plan. The Company also provides post-retirement life insurance coverage under a group life insurance plan for former Agere employees excluding participants in the cash-balance program and management employees hired after June 30, 2003. The Company also has pension plans covering certain international employees.

Effective April 6, 2009, the Company froze the U.S. management defined benefit pension plan. Participants in the adjusted career-average-pay program will not earn any future service accruals after that date. Participants in the cash-balance program will not earn any future service accruals, but will continue to earn 4% interest per year on their cash-balance accounts.

As of July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fairaggregate carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable securities unless there are identified events or changeswas $41.6 million and $43.9 million, respectively.

Upon the acquisition of SandForce in circumstances that may haveJanuary 2012, the Company recognized a significant adverse effect on the investment.gain of $5.8 million as a result of re-measuring its pre-acquisition equity interest in SandForce to estimated fair value.

Note 9 — Derivative Instruments

The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign-currency exchange rates. The Company utilizes forward contracts to manage its exposure associated with net asset and liability positions denominated in non-functional currencies and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to forecasted foreign-currency transactions. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Cash-Flow Hedges

The Company enters into forward contracts that are designated as foreign-currency cash-flow hedges of selected forecasted payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. These forward contracts generally mature within twelve months. The Company evaluates and calculates the effectiveness of each hedge at least quarterly. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and are recognized in interest income and other, net. The effective portion of the forward contracts’ gain or loss is recorded in other comprehensive income and, is subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged expense is recognized, is subsequently reclassified into earnings within the same line item in the statements of operations as the impact of the hedged transaction. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. As of July 3, 20111, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2011, the total notional value of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts, designated as foreign-currency cash-flow hedges, was $41.3$36.5 million and $41.7$36.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, the after-tax effect of foreign-exchange forward contract derivatives on other comprehensive income was not material.

Other Foreign-Currency Hedges

The Company enters into foreign-exchange forward contracts that are used to hedge certain foreign-currency-denominated assets or liabilities and that do not qualify for hedge accounting. These forward contracts generally mature within three months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recorded immediately in earnings to offset the changes in fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. As of July 3, 20111, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2011, the total notional value of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts, not designated as hedges under hedge accounting, was $42.1$35.3 million and $112.3$37.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, losses of $2.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on other foreign-currency hedges were recognized in interest income and other, net. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, gains of $0.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, on other foreign-currency hedges were recognized in interest income and other, net. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, a gain of $2.2 million and a loss of $3.6 million, respectively, on other foreign-currency hedges were recognized in interest income and other, net. These gains and lossesamounts were substantially offset by the lossgains and gainlosses on the underlying foreign-currency-denominated assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

As of July 3, 20111, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2011, the total fair value of derivative instruments includedassets was immaterial and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheetssheets. As of July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total fair value of derivative liabilities was not material.

Note 12 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $11.8 million and an income tax benefit of $37.3 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively, and income tax provisions from continuing operations of $8.9 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and an income tax provision from continuing operations of $6.9 million and anrespectively.

The income tax benefit from continuing operations of $16.2 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively.

1, 2012 included a tax benefit of approximately $43.2 million due to the release of valuation allowance resulting from the net deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the SandForce purchase price allocation. The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 also included a reversal of $10.2 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.2 million and interest and penalties of $5.0 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The income tax provision from continuing operations for the six months ended July 3, 2011 includesincluded a reversal of $8.2 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $4.8 million and interest and penalties of $3.4 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

     The income tax benefit from continuing operations for the six months ended July 4, 2010 included a reversal of $27.9 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $12.2 million and interest and penalties of $15.7 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The Company computes its tax provision using an estimated annual tax rate. The Company excludes certain loss jurisdictions from the computation of the estimated annual rate when no benefit can be realized on those losses. With the exception of certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the future benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

As of July 3, 2011,1, 2012, the Company had $138.6$180.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, for which the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of statutes of limitations or the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world. If those events occur within the next 12 months, the Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefits, plus accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by up to $18.5$16.7 million.

Note 1312 — Related Party Transactions

A member of the Company’s board of directors is also a member of the board of directors of Seagate Technology (“Seagate”). The Company sells semiconductors used in storage product applications to Seagate for prices comparable to those charged to an unrelated third party. Revenues from sales by the Company to Seagate were $227.6 million and $434.6 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. Revenues from sales by the Company to Seagate were $118.9 million and $217.5 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively. Revenues from sales by the Company to Seagate were $88.8 million and $184.9 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable from Seagate of $71.7$134.8 million and $55.0$90.3 million as of July 3, 20111, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2011, respectively.

The Company has an equity interest in a joint venture, Silicon Manufacturing Partners Pte Ltd. (“SMP”), with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a manufacturing foundry for integrated circuits. SMP operates an integrated circuit manufacturing facility in Singapore. The Company owns a 51% equity interest in this joint venture and accounts for its ownership position under the equity method of accounting. The Company is effectively precluded from unilaterally taking any significant action in the management of SMP due to GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ significant participatory rights under the joint venture agreement. Because of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ approval rights, the Company cannot make any significant decisions regarding SMP without GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ approval, despite the 51% equity interest. In addition, the General Manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of SMP, is appointed by GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES provides day-to-day operational support to SMP.

The Company purchased $11.7 million and $23.9 million of inventory from SMP during the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. The Company purchased $14.8 million and $25.6 million of inventory from SMP forduring the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively. The Company purchased $12.0 million and $24.0 million of inventory from SMP for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively. As of July 3, 20111, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2011, the amounts payable to SMP were $6.9$9.5 million and $1.2$5.0 million, respectively.

Note 1413 — Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Matters

Purchase Commitments

The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of July 3, 2011,1, 2012, the

15


Company had purchase commitments of $396.6$446.7 million, which are due through 2014.
2016.

The Company has a take-or-pay agreement with SMP under which it has agreed to purchase 51% of the managed wafer capacity from SMP’s integrated circuit manufacturing facility, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES has agreed to purchase the remaining managed wafer capacity. SMP determines its managed wafer capacity each year based on forecasts provided by the Company and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. If the Company fails to purchase its required commitments, it will be required to pay SMP for the fixed costs associated with the unpurchased wafers. GLOBALFOUNDRIES is similarly obligated with respect to the wafers allotted to it. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon two years written notice. The agreement may also be terminated for material breach, bankruptcy or insolvency.

Guarantees

Product Warranties:

     The Company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for periods of generally one to three years. A liability for estimated future costs under product warranties is recorded when products are shipped.

The Company had outstanding obligations relating to standby letters of credit of $4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, as of July 1, 2012 and $3.9 million, respectively.December 31, 2011. Standby letters of credit are financial guarantees provided by third parties for leases, customs and certain self-insured risks. If the guarantees are called, the Company must reimburse the provider of the guarantee. The fair value of the letters of credit approximates the contract amounts. The standby letters of credit generally renew annually.

Indemnifications

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party. Typically, theseThese obligations arise primarily in connection with sales contracts, and license agreements or agreements for the sale of assets, under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of warranties, representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, validity of certain intellectual property rights, non-infringement of third-party rights, and certain income tax-related matters. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company is typically subject to the other party making a claim to and cooperating with the Company pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. This usually allows the Company to challenge the other party’s claims or, in case of breach of intellectual property representations or covenants, to control the defense or settlement of any third-party claims brought against the other party. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of activity (typically to replace or correct the products or terminate the agreement with a refund to the other party), duration and/or amounts. In some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties covering certain payments made by the Company.

Legal Matters

On December 6, 2006, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications USA Inc. (“Sony Ericsson”) filed a lawsuit against Agere in Wake County Superior Court in North Carolina, alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices, fraud and negligent misrepresentation in connection with Agere’s engagement with Sony Ericsson to develop a wireless data card for personal computers. The complaint claimed an unspecified amount of damages and sought compensatory damages, treble damages and attorneys’ fees. In August, 2007, the case was dismissed for improper venue. On October 22, 2007, Sony Ericsson filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County against LSI, raising substantially the same allegations and seeking substantially the same relief as the North Carolina proceeding. In January 2010, Sony Ericsson amended its complaint by adding claims for fraudulent concealment and gross negligence. On September 10, 2010, LSI filed a motion for summary judgment. In January 2011, LSI and Sony Ericsson held an unsuccessful mediation in this matter. On August 4, 2011, the court granted LSI’s motion and ordered the dismissal of all of Sony

Ericsson’s claims.
Sony Ericsson has appealed this decision. The Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may be incurred with respect to this matter.

On March 23, 2007, CIF Licensing, LLC, d/b/a GE Licensing (“GE”) filed a lawsuit against Agere in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting that Agere products infringe patents in a portfolio of patents GE acquired from Motorola. GE has asserted that four of the patents cover inventions relating to modems. GE is seeking monetary damages. Agere believes it has a number of defenses to the infringement claims in this action, including laches, exhaustion and its belief that it has a license to the patents. The court postponed hearing motions based on these defenses until after the trial, and did not allow Agere to present evidence on these defenses at trial. On February 17, 2009, the jury in this case returned a verdict finding that three of the four patents were invalid and that Agere products infringed the one patent found to be valid and awarding GE $7.6 million for infringement of that patent. The jury also found Agere’s infringement was willful, which means that the judge could increase the amount of damages up to three times its original amount. The court has not scheduled hearings on Agere’s post-trial motions related to its defenses. One of these motions seeks to have a mis-trial declared based on Agere’s belief that GE withheld evidence in discovery, which affected Agere’s ability to present evidence at trial. On October 6, 2010, a special master appointed by the court determined that GE’s actions were not wrongful and that the evidence withheld by GE was not material to the jury’s findings. Agere is challenging this determination. If the jury’s verdict is entered by the court, Agere would also expect to be required to pay interest from the date of infringing sales. If the verdict is entered, Agere intends to appeal the matter. On February 17, 2010, the court issued an order granting GE’s summary judgment motions seeking to bar Agere’s defenses of laches, exhaustion, and license and denying Agere’s summary judgment motions concerning the same defenses. On July 30, 2010, the court held that one of the patents found invalid by the jury was valid. The court also held that the February 17, 2010 order was not inconsistent with its previous ruling that Agere would be permitted to renew its laches, licensing, and exhaustion defenses, and that Agere has not been precluded from asserting them post-trial. The Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may be incurred with respect to this matter.

On December 1, 2010, Rambus Inc. (“Rambus”) filed a lawsuit against LSI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that LSI products infringe one or more of nineteen19 Rambus patents. These products contain either DDR-type memory controllers or certain high-speed SerDes peripheral interfaces, such as PCI Express interfaces and certain SATA and SAS interfaces. Rambus is seeking unspecified monetary damages, treble damages and costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees due to alleged willfulness, interest and permanent injunctive relief in this action. In addition, on December 1, 2010, Rambus filed an action with the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against LSI and five of its customers alleging that LSI products infringe six of the nineteen19 patents in the California case. Rambus also named five other companies and a number of their customers in the ITC action. Rambus is seekingsought an exclusionary order against LSI and its customers in the ITC action, which, if granted, would preclude LSI and its customers from selling these products in the U.S. The ITC instituted itsheld a hearing on the matter in October 2011. On March 2, 2012, an administrative law judge (“ALJ”) found that LSI infringed Rambus’ patents; however, the ALJ also found the patents invalid or unenforceable or both, and accordingly, found no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. On July 25, 2012, the ITC determined to terminate the investigation on December 29, 2010.with a finding of no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The ITC affirmed the ALJ’s conclusion that all of the asserted patent claims are invalid under 35 U.S.C. §102 or 103, except for certain asserted claims, for which they found that Rambus has not demonstrated infringement. The ITC reversed the ALJ’s determination that Rambus had demonstrated the existence of a domestic industry under 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a) for the asserted patents. The ITC affirmed the ALJ’s determination that certain patents are unenforceable under the doctrine of unclean hands. The lawsuit against LSI has filed an answer in the ITC proceedings and has requested a stay inUnited States District Court for the Northern District of California case.is still pending. The Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may be incurred with respect to this matter.

these proceedings.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other litigation matters and claims in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe, based on currently available facts and circumstances, that the final outcome of these other matters, taken individually or as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. However, the pending unsettled lawsuits may involve complex questions of fact and law and may require the expenditure of significant funds and the diversion of other resources to defend. From time to time, the Company may enter into confidential discussions regarding the potential settlement of such lawsuits. However, there can be no assurance that any such discussions will occur or will result in a settlement. Moreover, the settlement of any pending litigation could require the Company to incur substantial costs and, in the case of the settlement of any intellectual property proceeding against the Company, may require the Company to obtain a license to a third-party’s intellectual property that could require royalty payments in the future and the Company to grant a license to certain of its intellectual property to a third party under a cross-license agreement. The results of litigation are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible.

The Company has not provided accruals for any legal matters in its financial statements as potential losses for such matters are not considered probable and reasonably estimable. However, because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, the ultimate outcomes are not predictable, and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy allegedany liabilities arising from the matters described above will not have a material adverse effect on itsthe Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 1514 — Discontinued Operations

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its external storage systems business to NetApp pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement and received cash consideration offor $480.0 million.million in cash. The strategic decision to divestexit the external storage systems business was based on the Company’s expectation that long-term shareholder value cancould be maximized by becoming a pure-play semiconductor company. Under the terms of the agreement, NetApp purchased substantially all the assets of the Company’s external storage systems business, which developed and delivered external storage systems products and technology to a wide range of partners thatwho provide storage solutions to end customers. As part of the asset purchase agreement, certaintransaction, the Company provided transitional services will be provided to NetApp for a period of up to eighteen months.NetApp. The purpose of these services iswas to provide short-term assistance to the buyer in assuming the operations of the external storage systemspurchased business.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the other sections of thisForm 10-Q,, including Part 1, “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Where more than one significant factor contributed to changes in results from year to year, we have quantified these factors throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where practicable and material to understanding the discussion.

OVERVIEW

We design, develop and market complex, high-performance storage and networking semiconductors. We provide silicon-to-system solutions that are used at the core of products that create, store, consume and transport digital information. We offer a broad portfolio of capabilities including custom and standard product integrated circuits that are used in hard disk drives, solid state drives, high-speed communications systems, computer servers, storage systems and personal computers. We also offer redundant array of independent disks, or RAID, adapters for computer servers and RAID software applications.

     We selldeliver our products to our customers as stand-alone integrated circuits for server and storage applications principally to makers of hard disk drives, solid state drives and computer servers. We sell our integrated circuits for networking applications principally to makers of devices used in computer and telecommunications networks and, to a lesser extent, to makers of personal computers.as well as incorporated onto circuit boards that offer additional functionality. We also generate revenue by licensinglicense other entities to use our intellectual property.

Our products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, companies in the server, storage and networking industries. We also sell our products through a network of resellers and distributors.

On January 3, 2012, we acquired SandForce, a provider of flash storage processors for enterprise and client flash solutions and solid state drives, for total consideration of approximately $346.4 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition has enhanced LSI’s position in storage technology solutions.

On May 6, 2011, we sold our external storage systems business for $480.0 million in cash. That business sold external storage systems, primarily to OEMs, who resold these products to end customers under their own brand name. We have reflected the external storage systems business as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and, as such, the results of that business have been excluded from all line items other than “Income from discontinued operations” for all periods presented.

We derive the majority of our revenuerevenues from sales of products for the hard disk drive, server and networking equipment end markets. We believe that these markets offer us attractive opportunities because of the growing demand to create, store, manage and move digital content. We believe that this growth is occurring as a result of a number of trends, including:

The increasing popularity of mobile devices such as smart phones and media tablets, and the increasing use of the internet for streaming media, such as videos and music, which together are driving the need for more network capacity;

The increasing popularity of mobile devices such as smart phones and media tablets, and the increasing use of the internet for streaming media, such as videos and music, which are driving the need for more network capacity;
Consumer and business demand for hard disks to store increasing amounts of digital data, including music, video, pictures, and medical and other business records; and
Enterprises refreshing their data centers to provide higher levels of business support and analytics, which drives demand for new servers and storage systems and associated equipment.

Consumer and business demand for hard disks to store increasing amounts of digital data, including music, video, pictures and medical and other business records; and

Enterprises refreshing their data centers to provide higher levels of business support and analytics, which drives demand for new servers and storage systems and associated equipment.

Our revenues depend on market demand for these types of products and our ability to compete in highly competitive markets. We face competition not only from makers of products similar to ours, but also from competing technologies. For example, we see the development of solid state drives based on flash memory rather than the spinning platters used in hard disk drives as a long-term potential competitor to certain types of hard disk drives, and we are focusing development efforts in that area.

     On May 6, 2011, we completed the sale of our external storage systems business to NetApp for $480.0 million in cash. That business sold external storage systems, primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, who resold these products to end customers under their own brand name. We have reflected the external storage systems business as discontinued operations in our statements of operations and, as such, the results of that business have been excluded from all line items other than “income from discontinued operations” for all periods presented. We believe that as a result of this sale, we are seeing increasing interest in our products from other external storage systems OEMs who previously were reluctant to buy our products because they viewed us as a competitor.

During the second quarter of 2011,2012, we reported revenuerevenues of $500.6$659.6 million, compared to $473.4$500.6 million for the second quarter of 2010.2011. For the six months ended July 3, 2011,1, 2012, we reported revenuerevenues of $973.9$1,282.0 million, compared to $946.1$973.9 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010. We3, 2011. For the second quarter of 2012, we reported net income of $58.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $293.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.2011. Net income for the second quarter of 2011 included a $260.1 million gain on the sale of our external storage systems business. For the six months ended July 3, 2011,1, 2012, we reported net income of $303.9$133.9 million, or $0.49$0.23 per diluted share, compared to $30.0$303.9 million, or $0.05$0.49 per diluted share, for the six months ended July 4, 2010.

On March 9, 2011, our Boardboard of Directorsdirectors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $750.0 million of our common stock. ThroughDuring the six months ended July 3, 2011,1, 2012, we had repurchased 56.322.5 million shares for $396.8$176.2 million under this program. We anticipate continuingAs of July 1, 2012, $75.0 million remained available under this program. On August 1, 2012, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to repurchase stockan additional $500.0 million of our common stock. Purchases under current market conditions.
the new authorization are expected to be funded with available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

We ended the second quarter of 20112012 with cash and cash equivalents, together with short-term investments, of $906.5$601.1 million, an improvement of $229.8a decline from $935.5 million fromat the end of 2010,2011, primarily attributable to the cash we received fromused for the saleacquisition of SandForce.

In 2011, Thailand experienced significant flooding, which adversely affected the operations of various technology companies, particularly those involved in the hard disk drive industry. In the first half of 2012, our operations and those of many of our external storage systems business.

customers recovered significantly. However toward the end of the second quarter of 2012, we believe that end demand for hard disk drives declined and that we will experience lower shipments of semiconductors for hard disk drives in the third quarter of 2012.

The priceprices of certain commodities used in the production of semiconductors has been increasing this year and has had an adverse impact onhave increased in recent periods, adversely affecting our gross margins. For example, we use gold in the production of semiconductors and the market price of gold has increased significantly during 2011.in the second half of 2011 and remained at elevated levels through the first half of 2012. We do not currently enter into hedging transactions to reduce income statement volatility duemanage our exposure to changes in the prices of gold or other commodities, although we may choose to do so in the future. Further increases in commodity costs or sustained increased prices may alsocontinue to have an adverse impact on our gross margins.

     In the second quarter of 2011, our largest customer, Seagate, accounted for approximately 24% of our total revenues. We anticipate that Seagate will account for an increasing percentage of our revenues in the near term as we gain share and ramp new products at Seagate. We believe that in the longer term, we will ramp new products at other customers for our semiconductor products, which will reduce our dependence on Seagate from these increased levels.

As we look forward into the second halfremainder of 2011,2012, we are focused on a number of key objectives, including:

Successfully delivering products to customers to support share gains and new product ramps we anticipate;

Successfully delivering products to customers to support share gains and new product ramps we anticipate;

Provision for/Benefit from Income Taxes

     OtherWe recorded an income net,tax provision of $11.8 million and an income tax benefit of $37.3 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, primarily included $3.0 million of income for services provided under the transition service agreements entered into with NetApp in connection with the sale of the external storage systems business. Other expense, net, for the six months ended July 4, 2010, primarily included $11.6 million of other than temporary impairment charges incurred during the first quarter of 2010 for certain non-marketable equity securities.
Provision for/Benefit from Income Taxes
     We recorded1, 2012, respectively, and income tax provisions from continuing operations of $8.9 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and an income tax provision from continuing operations of $6.9 million and anrespectively.

The income tax benefit from continuing operations of $16.2 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively.

1, 2012 included a tax benefit of approximately $43.2 million due to the release of valuation allowance resulting from the net deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the SandForce purchase price allocation. The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 also included a reversal of $10.2 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.2 million and interest and penalties of $5.0 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The income tax provision from continuing operations for the six months ended July 3, 2011 is presented net ofincluded a reversal of $8.2 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $4.8 million and interest and penalties of $3.4 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

     The income tax benefit from continuing operations for the six months ended July 4, 2010 included a reversal of $27.9 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $12.2 million and interest and penalties of $15.7 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

We compute our tax provision using an estimated annual tax rate. We exclude certain loss jurisdictions from the computation of the estimated annual rate when no benefit can be realized on those losses. With the exception of certain foreign jurisdictions, we believe it is not more likely than not that the future benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Further, we released $19.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to tax deductible goodwill in connection with the sale of the external storage systems business during the three months ended July 3, 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $906.5 million as of July 3, 2011 from $676.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was mainly due to proceeds from the sale of our external storage systems business and cash inflows generated from operating activities, offset in part by cash outflows for financing and other investing activities, as described below.
Working Capital
     Working capital increased by $199.9 million to $979.1 million as of July 3, 2011 from $779.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $229.8 million primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of our external storage systems business on May 6, 2011;
Accrued salaries, wages and benefits decreased by $38.6 million primarily as a result of timing differences in the payment of salaries, benefits and performance-based compensation, and the payout of accrued compensation-related costs to employees transferred to NetApp as part of the sale of the external storage systems business;

24


Assets held for sale increased by $18.1 million primarily as a result of the reclassification of $16.2 million of land in Gresham, Oregon from held and used to held for sale because the held for sale criteria were met during the quarter ended July 3, 2011;
Other accrued liabilities decreased by $9.9 million due to a reduction in accruals as a result of the sale of the external storage systems business; and
Inventories increased by $7.0 million primarily due to increased inventory purchases during the second quarter of 2011 in anticipation of expected increases in product demand in the second half of 2011, offset in part by inventory sold to NetApp as part of the sale of the external storage systems business.
     These increases in working capital were offset in part by the following:
Accounts receivable decreased by $92.5 million primarily as a result of lower revenues from discontinued operations due to the sale of the external storage systems business; and
Accounts payable increased by $11.5 million primarily due to increased inventory purchases, as inventory purchased to support continuing operations exceeded the reduction in inventory purchases resulting from the sale of the external storage systems business.
     Working capital increased by $58.3 million to $789.4 million as of July 4, 2010 from $731.1 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
Current portion of long-term debt decreased by $350.0 million as a result of the repayment of our 4% Convertible Subordinated Notes upon their maturity in May 2010;
Inventories increased by $22.2 million as a result of a slowdown in customer purchases in the last month of the second quarter of 2010;
Accounts payable decreased by $18.9 million primarily due to the normal timing of invoice receipts and payments; and
Other accrued liabilities decreased by $17.9 million as a result of the utilization of restructuring reserves, payments of taxes and decreases in other accruals related to our operations.
     These increases in working capital were offset in part by the following:
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $292.2 million;
Accounts receivable decreased by $31.9 million primarily as a result of an improvement in collections; and
Accrued salaries, wages and benefits increased by $22.0 million primarily as a result of timing differences in the payment of salaries and benefits and the addition of performance-based compensation accruals, which we reduced in 2009 in response to the global economic downturn.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
     During the six months ended July 3, 2011, we generated $146.3 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:
Net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $102.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $27.1 million. The non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments are quantified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1;
Offset in part by a net decrease of $30.2 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2010 to July 3, 2011, as discussed above.

25


     During the six months ended July 4, 2010, we generated $173.4 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:
Net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $133.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $34.9 million. The non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments are quantified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1;
Offset in part by a net decrease of $37.8 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2009 to July 4, 2010, as discussed above.
Cash Provided by/Used in Investing Activities
     Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was $434.2 million. The investing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2011 were the following:
Proceeds from the sale of our external storage systems business, net of transaction fees, of $475.2 million;
Purchases of property, equipment and software, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $36.3 million; and
Purchases of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $4.7 million.
     Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 4, 2010 was $28.2 million. The investing activities for the six months ended July 4, 2010 were the following:
Purchases of property, equipment and software, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $48.2 million; and
Proceeds from maturities and sales of available-for-sale debt and other investments, net of purchases, of $20.0 million.
     We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $55 million in 2011. In recent years, we have reduced our level of capital expenditures as a result of our focus on establishing strategic supplier alliances with foundry semiconductor manufacturers and with third-party assembly and test operations, which enables us to have access to advanced manufacturing capacity while reducing our capital spending requirements.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
     Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was $345.9 million, as compared to $409.1 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010. The primary financing activities during the six months ended July 3, 2011 were the use of $396.8 million to repurchase our common stock, offset in part by proceeds of $50.9 million from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans. On March 9, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to $750.0 million of our common stock. As of July 3, 2011, $353.2 million remained available under this stock repurchase program.
     The primary financing activities during the six months ended July 4, 2010 were the use of $350 million to repay all of our outstanding 4% Convertible Subordinated Notes upon their maturity on May 15, 2010 and the use of $80.7 million to repurchase our common stock, which were offset in part by the proceeds of $21.6 million from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans.
     We do not currently pay, and do not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends to our stockholders.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are our primary source of liquidity. We believe that our existing liquid resources and cash generated from operations will be adequate to meet our operating and capital requirements and other obligations for more than the next 12 months. We may, however, find it desirable to obtain additional debt or equity financing. Such financing may not be available to us at all or on acceptable terms if we determine that it would be desirable to obtain additional financing.

26Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased to $601.1 million as of July 1, 2012 from $935.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to $319.2 million of cash used in connection with the acquisition of SandForce and cash outflows for other investing activities and financing activities, offset in part by cash inflows generated from operating activities, as described below.

Working Capital

Working capital decreased by $264.9 million to $696.9 million as of July 1, 2012 from $961.8 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following:

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $334.4 million primarily due to the use of $319.2 million in connection with the acquisition of SandForce in January 2012, the use of $176.2 million to repurchase our common stock, and the use of $77.4 million for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, offset in part by net cash provided by operating activities of $167.5 million; and


Accounts payable increased by $30.9 million primarily due to an increase in inventory purchases to support new product introductions and the normal timing of invoice receipts and payments.

These decreases in working capital were offset in part by the following:

Accounts receivable increased by $50.3 million primarily as a result of increased revenues in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011;

Other accrued liabilities decreased by $25.0 million primarily due to the utilization of restructuring reserves, payments of taxes and decreases in other accruals related to our operations, offset in part by an increase in deferred revenues; and

Inventories increased by $24.0 million as a result of increased inventory purchases to support new product introductions and higher revenues in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Working capital increased by $199.9 million to $979.1 million as of July 3, 2011 from $779.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $229.8 million primarily due to $475.2 million of proceeds from the sale of our external storage systems business in May 2011 and net cash provided by operating activities of $146.3 million, offset in part by the use of $396.8 million to repurchase our common stock.

Accrued salaries, wages and benefits decreased by $38.6 million primarily as a result of the timing of payments for salaries, benefits and performance-based compensation, and the payout of accrued compensation-related costs to employees transferred to NetApp as part of the sale of the external storage systems business;

Assets held for sale increased by $18.1 million primarily as a result of the reclassification of $16.2 million of land in Gresham, Oregon from held and used to held for sale because the held for sale criteria were met during the quarter ended July 3, 2011;

Other accrued liabilities decreased by $9.9 million due to a reduction in accruals as a result of the sale of the external storage systems business; and

Inventories increased by $7.0 million primarily due to increased inventory purchases during the second quarter of 2011 in anticipation of expected increases in product demand in the second half of 2011, offset in part by inventory sold to NetApp as part of the sale of the external storage systems business.

These increases in working capital were offset in part by the following:

Accounts receivable decreased by $92.5 million primarily as a result of lower revenues from discontinued operations due to the sale of the external storage systems business; and

Accounts payable increased by $11.5 million primarily due to increased inventory purchases, as inventory purchased to support continuing operations exceeded the reduction in inventory purchases resulting from the sale of the external storage systems business.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the six months ended July 1, 2012, we generated $167.5 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:

Net income adjusted for non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments, which are quantified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1;

Offset in part by a net decrease of $66.5 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2011 to July 1, 2012, as discussed above.

During the six months ended July 3, 2011, we generated $146.3 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:

Net income adjusted for non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments, which are quantified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1;

Offset in part by a net decrease of $30.2 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2010 to July 3, 2011, as discussed above.

Cash Used in/Provided by Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2012 was $451.2 million. The investing activities during the first half of 2012 were the following:

Acquisition of SandForce, net of cash acquired, for $319.2 million;

Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $77.4 million, including $45.5 million for an office building that we intend to be our new headquarters; and

Purchases of available-for-sale debt securities, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $54.6 million.

Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was $434.2 million. The investing activities during the first half of 2011 were the following:

Proceeds from the sale of our external storage systems business, net of transaction fees, of $475.2 million;

Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $36.3 million; and

Purchases of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $4.7 million.

We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $130.0 million in 2012, a significant portion of which relates to the office building that we intend to be our new headquarters. In recent years, we have reduced our manufacturing-related capital expenditures as a result of our focus on establishing strategic supplier alliances with foundry semiconductor manufacturers and with third-party assembly and test operations, which enables us to have access to advanced manufacturing capacity while reducing our capital spending requirements.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2012 was $94.1 million. Cash used in financing activities during the first half of 2012 was to repurchase $176.2 million of our common stock, offset in part by $82.1 million cash received from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was $345.9 million. The financing activities during the first half of 2011 were the use of $396.8 million to repurchase our common stock, offset in part by proceeds of $50.9 million from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans.

We do not currently pay any cash dividends to our stockholders.

*We have pension plans covering substantially all former Agere U.S. employees, excluding management employees hired after June 30, 2003. We also have pension plans covering certain international employees. Although additional future contributions will be required, the amount and timing of these contributions will be affected by actuarial assumptions, the actual rate of return on plan assets, the level of market interest rates, legislation changes and the amount of voluntary contributions to the plans. The amount shown in the table represents our planned contributions to our pension plans forduring the remainder of 2011.2012. Because any contributions for 20122013 and later will depend on the value of the plan assets in the future and thus are uncertain, we have not included any amounts for 20122013 and beyond in the above table.

**This amount represents the non-current tax payable obligation. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur.

Operating Lease Obligations

We lease real estate and certain non-manufacturing equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. We also include non-cancellable obligations under certain software licensing arrangements in this category.

Purchase Commitments

We maintain purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of July 3, 2011,1, 2012, we had $138.6$180.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of statutes of limitations or the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world. If those events occur within the next 12 months, we estimate that the unrecognized tax benefits, plus accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by up to $18.5$16.7 million.

Standby Letters of Credit

     As of July 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we

We had outstanding obligations relating to standby letters of credit of $4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, as of July 1, 2012 and $3.9 million, respectively.December 31, 2011. Standby letters of credit are financial guarantees provided by third parties for leases, customs and certain self-insured risks. If the guarantees are called, we must reimburse the provider of the guarantee. The fair value of the letters of credit approximates the contract amount.amounts. The standby letters of credit generally renew annually.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submitsfurnishes under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures by our management with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this purpose.

Changes in Internal Control:During the second quarter of 2011,2012, we did not make any change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

This information is included under the caption “Legal Matters” in Note 1413 to our financial statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Set forth below are risks and uncertainties, many of which are discussed in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, that, if they were to occur, could materially adversely affect our business or could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this report and other public statements we make:

As a result of the earthquake and tsunami that affected Japan in early March 2011, and the events at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, it is possible that demand from our customers will be affected, which could have an adverse impact on our business.
     On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, which triggered a tsunami that led to widespread damage and business interruption. Following the earthquake, the cooling system at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear generating plant failed and the plant experienced significant emissions of radiation. As a result of the earthquake, a number of factories in Japan were forced to shut down and the country experienced rolling blackouts, further affecting industrial production.
     We do not maintain significant operations in Japan and do not use semiconductor foundries in Japan. We believe that we have addressed supplier issues related to the events in Japan and that our principal risk with respect to the events in Japan is that our customers will require less of our products. We have been working closely with our customers to understand their needs. We have some customers with significant operations in Japan and demand from these customers may be reduced if the customers’ operations are curtailed. Our revenues may also be adversely affected if any of our customers are unable to obtain sufficient parts from other suppliers or if they experience reduced demand from their customers.

We depend on a small number of customers. The loss of, or a significant reduction in revenuerevenues from, any of these customers would harm our results of operations.

28

We operate in intensely competitive markets, and our failure to compete effectively would harm our results of operations.


Customer orders and ordering patterns can change quickly, making it difficult for us to predict our revenues and making it possible that our actual revenues may vary materially from our expectations, which could harm our results of operations and stock price.

We depend on outside suppliers to manufacture, assemble, package and test our products; accordingly, any failure to secure and maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity at attractive prices or to maintain the quality of our products could harm our business and results of operations.

Failure to qualify our semiconductor products or our suppliers’ manufacturing lines with key customers could harm our business and results of operations.

If we fail to keep pace with technological advances, or if we pursue technologies that do not become commercially accepted, customers may not buy our products and our results of operations may be harmed.

Failure to qualify our products or our suppliers’ manufacturing lines with key customers could harm our business and results of operations.
Any defects in our products could harm our reputation, customer relationships and results of operations.
Our pension plans are underfunded, and may require significant future contributions, which could have an adverse impact on our business.
We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims and litigation, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products.
If we are unable to protect or assert our intellectual property rights, our business and results of operations may be harmed.
If we are unable to reduce costs associated with the external storage systems business that we sold to NetApp, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
     Following the sale of our external storage systems business, we are providing services and office space to NetApp on a temporary basis and are compensated for doing so by NetApp. Once we stop providing those services and office space to NetApp, we may have systems and office space that we must pay for but do not need for our business. If we are not able to eliminate these costs promptly, our results of operations may be harmed.

Any defects in our products could harm our reputation, customer relationships and results of operations.

Our pension plans are underfunded, and may require significant future contributions, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims and litigation, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products.

If we are unable to protect or assert our intellectual property rights, our business and results of operations may be harmed.

Increases in the price of commodities used in the production of our products or lack of availability of these materials could negatively impact our operating results.

We are exposed to legal, business, political and economic risks associated with our international operations.

We use indirect channels of product distribution over which we have limited control.

We may engage in acquisitions and strategic alliances, which may not be successful and could harm our business and operating results.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

Our failure to attract, retain and motivate key employees could harm our business.

Our operations and our suppliers’ operations are subject to natural disasters and other events outside of our control that may disrupt our business and harm our operating results.

Laws and regulations to which we are subject, as well as customer requirements in the area of environmental protection and social responsibility, could impose substantial costs on us and may adversely affected.

Our blank check preferred stock and Delaware law contain provisions that may inhibit potential acquisition bids, which may harm our stock price, discourage merger offers or prevent changes in our management.
Class action litigation due to stock price volatility or other factors could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
