We have revised prior periods to record a deferred tax asset in a foreign subsidiary and have made adjustments in each successive period related to the foreign currency exchange rate changes associated with that item. The prior periods also include revised amounts from a change in application of an accounting policy, related to manufacturing variances, and other adjustments. The company has determined that all amounts were immaterial to each of the reporting periods. Our results will be finalized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is scheduled to be filed on or about February 23, 2015.

these factors are our revenues and operating performance, economic
conditions and markets (including current financial conditions), effects
of exchange rate fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor
industry, changes in demand for our products, changes in inventories at
our customers and distributors, technological and product development
risks, enforcement and protection of our intellectual property rights
and related risks, risks related to the security of our information
systems and secured network, availability of raw materials, electricity,
gas, water and other supply chain uncertainties, our ability to
effectively shift production to other facilities when required in order
to maintain supply continuity for our customers, variable demand and the
aggressive pricing environment for semiconductor products, our ability
to successfully manufacture in increasing volumes on a cost-effective
basis and with acceptable quality for our current products, competitor
actions including the adverse impact of competitor product
announcements, pricing and gross profit pressures, loss of key
customers, order cancellations or reduced bookings, changes in
manufacturing yields, control of costs and expenses and realization of
cost savings and synergies from restructuring activities, significant
litigation, risks associated with decisions to expend cash reserves for
various uses such as debt prepayment, stock repurchases or acquisitions
rather than to retain such cash for future needs, risks associated with
acquisitions and dispositions (including from integrating and
consolidating and timely filing financial information with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for acquired businesses and
difficulties encountered in accurately predicting the future financial
performance of acquired businesses), risks associated with our
substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements
that may be in place from time to time, risks associated with our
worldwide operations, including foreign employment and labor matters
associated with unions and collective bargaining arrangements, as well
as man-made and/or natural disasters affecting our operations and
finances/financials, the threat or occurrence of international armed

internationally, risks and costs associated with increased and new
regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards, risks
related to new legal requirements and risks involving environmental or
other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could cause
