⁽¹⁾ Amounts have been revised from those previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2003 to reflect the consolidation of the Company’s majority-owned investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited and the change in methodology for recognizing actuarial gains or losses relating to its defined benefit pension obligations, as described in Note 1.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

Note 1:   Background and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ON Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related voting stock and over which the Company does not exert significant influence are accounted for on the cost basis. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, (“FIN No. 46”). FIN No. 46 requires that certain variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, as that term is defined in FIN No. 46. The Company determined that its investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”) meets the definition of a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary; therefore, the investment in Leshan should be consolidated under FIN No. 46. The Company had previously accounted for its investment in Leshan using the equity method. While consolidation of the Company’s investment in Leshan did not impact the previously reported net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity (deficit), financial information for prior periods has been revised for comparative purposes as allowed by FIN No. 46.

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses relating to its defined benefit pension obligations. Previously, the Company amortized its net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service lives of active plan participants, to the extent that such net gains or losses exceeded the greater of 10% of the related projected benefit obligation or plan assets. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company no longer defers actuarial gains or losses but recognizes such gains and losses during the fourth quarter of each year, which is the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared. The previously reported financial statements for the quarter ended April 4, 2003 have been revised to reflect this change. See “Note 3: Accounting Change” for further discussion.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of April 2, 2004 and for the three months ended April 2, 2004 and April 4, 2003, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of December 31, 2003 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the measurement of valuation allowances relating to receivables, and deferred tax assets; accruals for customer incentives, warranties, and restructuring charges, inventory writedowns and pension obligations; the fair values of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported net loss or stockholders’ deficit.

Note 2:   Liquidity

During the quarter ended April 2, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $47.6 million compared to a net loss of $50.5 million for the quarter ended April 4, 2003. The Company’s net loss included net charges from restructuring, asset impairments and other, net of $13.1 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The

6

Company’s net loss for the first quarter of 2004 also included a charge of $33.0 million for loss on debt prepayment. The Company’s net loss for the first quarter of 2003 included a charge of $21.5 million relating to a change in accounting principle described in Note 3 and $3.5 million for loss on debt prepayment. Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.8 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2004, as compared $4.6 million for the quarter ended April 4, 2003.

At April 2, 2004, the Company had $221.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital of $250.8 million, term and revolving debt of $1,141.2 million in the aggregate and a stockholders’ deficit of $463.1 million. The Company’s long-term debt includes $320.1 million under its senior bank facilities; $124.7 million (net of discount) of its 12% first lien senior secured notes due 2010; $190.4 million (net of discount) of its 13% second lien senior secured notes due 2008; $260.0 million of its 12% senior subordinated notes due 2009; $143.4 million under its 10% junior subordinated note due 2011; $23.0 million under a note payable to a Japanese bank due 2010; $66.8 million under loan facilities with Chinese banks; and $12.8 million under capital lease obligations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in its various debt agreements as of April 2, 2004 and expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

In February 2004, the Company completed a public offering of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $226.7 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem $70.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 13% senior secured notes due 2010 and $105.0 million principal amount of the 12% senior secured notes due 2008 at a redemption price of 112% of the principal amount of such notes. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company’s ability to service its long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in its financing agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on its ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, its future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond its control.

If the Company fails to generate sufficient cash from operations, it may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve its longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to the Company. Management believes that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash balances will be adequate to fund the Company’s operating and capital needs as well as to enable it to maintain compliance with its various debt agreements through April 2, 2005. To the extent that results or events differ from the Company’s financial projections or business plans, its liquidity may be adversely affected.

Note 3:   Accounting Change

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses relating to its defined benefit pension obligations. Historically, the Company amortized its net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service lives of active plan participants, to the extent that such net gains or losses exceeded the greater of 10% of the related projected benefit obligation or plan assets. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company no longer defers actuarial gains or losses but recognizes such gains and losses during the fourth quarter of each year, which is the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared. Management believes that this change is to a preferable accounting method as actuarial gains or losses will be recognized currently in income rather than being deferred.

The impact of this change for periods prior to January 1, 2003 was a charge of $21.5 million or $0.12 per share, both before and after income taxes, and has been reflected as the cumulative effect of accounting change in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the quarter ended April 4, 2003. The effect of the change on the quarter ended April 4, 2003 was to decrease the Company’s net loss before cumulative effect of accounting change by $1.6 million or $0.01 per share, both before and after income taxes

7

and to increase the net loss by $19.9 million or $0.11 per share, both before and after income taxes. Absent the accounting change, the $21.5 million of net unrecognized actuarial losses at December 31, 2002 would have been recognized as an operating expense in future periods.

As of April 2, 2004, the $11.9 million reserve balance was comprised of $7.9 million of employee severance charges and $4.0 million of exit costs which consisted of $2.5 million in contract termination charges and $1.5 million of facility closure and lease termination charges.

March 2004

In March 2004, the Company recorded $13.1 million in restructuring, asset impairment and other, net charges. These charges included $12.0 million of loss on sale of fixed assets, $1.0 million to cover employee separation costs and $0.1 million of exit costs.

At the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a five-year agreement with respect to the outsourcing of information technology (“IT”) infrastructure, messaging, data center network, help desk and onsite management services. As part of the agreement, the Company sold certain system software modules, licenses and hardware for $3.8 million, which had a net book value of $15.8 million prior to the sale, resulting in a loss on sale of fixed assets of $12.0 million. The Company then leased back such system software modules and associated hardware and leased certain new hardware.

As a result of the new IT outsourcing agreement, the Company plans to reduce its current IT staffing levels. In connection with this reduction, the Company recorded a $0.3 million severance charge related to the

8

termination of 12 employees in the United States. All terminations and associated severance payments related to these charges are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2004.

The remaining $0.7 million of employee separation costs relates to the previously announced shutdown of the Company’s back-end manufacturing lines in Roznov, Czech Republic. This amount represents a portion of the total severance benefits for approximately 460 employees. The Company previously recorded a similar charge of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, and management estimates that additional severance charges of approximately $0.9 million related to such shutdown will be recognized ratably throughout the remainder of 2004.

The $0.1 million of exit costs relate to certain exit activities that were completed in connection with previously announced shutdown of manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

December 2003

The remaining restructuring reserve of $5.8 million at April 2, 2004 are comprised of $5.4 million and $0.4 million related to separation costs associated with approximately 325 employees and lease termination and other exit costs, respectively, in connection with the East Greenwich shutdown. All terminations and associated severance payments related to this charge are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2005.

As discussed above, an additional $0.7 million of employee separation costs relate to the shutdown of the Company’s back-end manufacturing lines in Roznov, Czech Republic as well as $0.1 million of exit costs for certain activities in connection with the shutdown of the East Greenwich facility.

September 2003

The remaining restructuring reserve of $0.4 million at April 2, 2004 are comprised of separation costs associated with 2 terminated employees. The Company expects to settle its remaining obligations related to this restructuring program by September 2004.

December 2002

The remaining restructuring reserve of $2.5 million at April 2, 2004 are comprised of $1.8 million of separation costs associated with 35 employees and $0.7 million related to lease termination and other exit costs. All terminations and associated severance payments are expected to be completed by June 2004. The Company expects to settle its remaining obligations related to the other exit costs by June 2005.

June 2002

The remaining restructuring reserve of $2.5 million at April 2, 2004 relates to estimated termination charges associated with certain manufacturing equipment purchase and supply agreements. The Company is currently in discussions to settle the remaining obligations.

March 2002

The remaining restructuring reserve of $0.2 million at April 2, 2004 relates to the unpaid separation costs associated with terminated employees. All employees have been terminated under this program and the remaining liability relating to this restructuring program is expected to be paid by December 2004.

June 2001

As of April 2, 2004 the remaining liability relating to this restructuring program was $0.4 million of miscellaneous exit costs which are expected to be paid by May 2004.

As discussed in “Note 8: Common Stock”, during the first quarter of 2004 the Company incurred $21.0 million of costs resulting from the redemption premium upon repayment of $70.0 million and $105.0 million outstanding principal of the first lien and second lien senior secured notes, respectively, and also wrote off $12.0 million of debt issuance costs due to the repayment.

April 2004 Offer to Repurchase Senior Subordinated Notes and Issuance of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On April 6, 2004, the Company commenced a cash tender offer for all of its outstanding 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009. The total consideration offered for each $1,000 dollars of principal amount of notes tendered was $1,089.06, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repurchase date. The Company anticipates redeeming any remaining outstanding senior subordinated notes after the cash tender offer on or about August 1, 2004 at 106% of par value. In order to finance the cash tender offer, the Company issued $260.0 million of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024. The notes do not bear cash interest, nor does the principal amount accrete. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain existing and future subsidiaries of the Company.

Holders may convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes before April 15, 2024 under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 2004 through maturity if the closing sale price of the Company’s

12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(unaudited)

common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; (4) after the date, if ever, on which either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Rating Services assigns an initial credit rating to the notes, during any period in which the credit rating assigned to the notes by either Moody’s or S&P is three or more rating subcategories below the initial credit rating assigned by Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, or any period in which the notes are no longer rated by either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, if such ratings agency had previously rated the notes; or (5) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events. Beginning April 15, 2010, we may redeem any of the notes at specified redemption prices. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on April 15 of 2010, 2014 and 2019. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $251.2 million from the sale of the notes (and would receive approximately $280.3 million if the initial purchasers’ right to purchase up to an additional $30.0 million principal amount of note is exercised in full), after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

April 2004 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities and Loan Repricing

On April 22, 2004 the Company refinanced $320.5 million of loans under its senior bank facilities. The Company replaced its tranche E term loan facility with a new tranche F term loan facility, which bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the tranche E term loan facility. Principal repayments of the new tranche F term loan facility will be due throughout 2008 and 2009, provided that, if the Company has not redeemed or repurchased its second lien senior secured notes in full prior to November 14, 2007, the tranche F term loan facility will mature on November 15, 2007. Additionally, in connection with this repricing, the senior bank facilities were amended to, among other things:

• permit the Company to use for general corporate purposes up to $30 million of the proceeds from the sale of the East Greenwich manufacturing facility;

• subject to certain restrictions, permit the Company to apply the net proceeds of certain equity or debt issuances to be used to purchase, redeem or retire any of the first lien senior secured notes, second lien senior secured notes or junior subordinated note;

• amend the definition of consolidated EBITDA in the credit agreement relating to the senior credit facilities to permit the add back of premiums associated with the redemption, repayment or repurchase of securities; and

• replace the existing revolving credit facility with a new facility that bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the existing revolving facility.

Annual maturities relating to the Company’s long-term debt as of April 2, 2004 are as follows (in millions):

Remainder of 2004	$	11.1
2005		13.0

The Company and SCI LLC, its primary operating subsidiary, are co-issuers of the first lien senior secured notes (issued in March 2003), the second lien senior secured notes, and the senior subordinated notes (collectively, “the Notes”). The Company’s other domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis, the Issuers’ obligations under the Notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries include Semiconductor Components Industries of Rhode Island, Inc, an operating subsidiary, as well as holding companies whose net assets consist primarily of investments in the Company’s Czech subsidiary, its joint venture in Leshan, China and nominal equity interests in certain of the Company’s other foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s remaining subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are not guarantors of the Notes. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, the Guarantor Subsidiaries also owned an investment in the Company’s Czech subsidiaries which was subsequently sold to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Because this transaction was a transfer between entities under common control, the Company has accounted for this transaction in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and has restated all historical Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiary financial information to reflect the current ownership structure.

(1) For purposes of this presentation, the Senior Subordinated Notes, Second-Lien Notes, and First-Lien Notes have been reflected in the condensed balance sheets of both the Company and SCI LLC with the appropriate offset reflected in the eliminations column. Interest expense and debt discount amortization has been allocated to SCI LLC only.

(2) The Company is a holding company and has no operations apart from those of its operating subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company does not maintain a bank account; rather, SCI LLC, its primary operating subsidiary, processes all of its cash receipts and disbursements on its behalf.

(3) Amounts have been revised from those previously reported to reflect the consolidation of the Company’s majority-owned investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited and the change in methodology for recognizing actuarial gains or losses relating to its defined benefit pension obligations both described in Note 1.

Note 7:  Redeemable Preferred Stock

On September 7, 2001, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its preferred stock (“the preferred stock”) with a stated value of $100.0 million to an affiliate of TPG. Net proceeds from the sale after deducting issuance costs were approximately $99.2 million. As of the issuance date, the preferred stock was convertible into 35,460,993 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.82 per share (subject to specified anti-dilution provisions) and is redeemable at the holder’s option any time after September 7, 2009. The preferred stock has a cumulative dividend payable quarterly in cash, at the rate of 8.0% per annum (or, if greater during the relevant quarterly period, in an amount equal to the value of the dividends that would be paid on the common stock then issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock), compounded to the extent not paid, and subject to restrictions under the Company’s senior bank facilities, the 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2009 and other documents relating to the Company’s indebtedness.

The per share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance was $3.19, which was $0.37 higher than the conversion price of $2.82, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of approximately $13.1 million. The BCF was originally recorded as a discount against the preferred shares with an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital. However, since the preferred shares were convertible immediately and have no stated redemption date, the discount was accreted in full on the date of issuance effectively eliminating the originally recorded discount. The net loss applicable to common shareholders in 2001 was increased by the $13.1 million accretion for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

At any time after September 7, 2009, the holders may require that the Company redeem their shares at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of the preferred stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon or (ii) 50% of the then current market price of the common stock (based upon the average closing price of the common stock over the preceding 30 trading days) and other assets and property, if any, into which one share of preferred stock is then convertible. Upon a change of control, the holders of the preferred stock may “put” their shares to the Company at 101% of the stated value plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The holders of the preferred stock were also granted registration rights in respect of the common stock underlying the preferred stock.

The Company is required to accrete the value of the preferred stock to its redemption value and records such accretion over the remaining period until the earliest available redemption date of September 7, 2009. Such accretion, which is influenced by changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, reduces net income applicable to common stock. Based on the market prices of the Company’s common stock, the Company

19

(unaudited)

recorded an accretion charge of $1.8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2004. Based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the last 30 trading days preceding April 2, 2004 of $7.96, the redemption value of the Preferred Stock would have been $163.8 million.

The holder’s right to require the Company to redeem the preferred stock is subject to, and expressly conditioned upon, limitations under the Company’s various debt agreements. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the Company’s common stock as a single class. As of the issuance date, each share of preferred stock was entitled to approximately 3,135 votes, subject to certain adjustments for accumulated dividends and those made in accordance with anti-dilution provisions contained in the underlying agreements.

Note 8:  Common Stock

On February 9, 2004, the Company and its principal stockholder, Texas Pacific Group, completed a public offering (the “February 2004 Equity Offering”) of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, the Company issued approximately 34.4 million shares (including approximately 0.4 million shares issued in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their option to cover over-allotments) at a price of $6.98 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by the Company were $226.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $10.8 million ($0.3141 per share) and estimated offering expenses of $2.4 million, of which $2.2 million remained unpaid as of April 2, 2004. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem $70.0 million outstanding principal amount of the first lien senior secured notes and $105.0 million outstanding principal amount of the second lien senior secured notes, in each case on March 10, 2004 at a redemption price of 112.0% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

In connection with this redemption, the Company wrote off $12.0 million of debt issuance costs, and incurred $21.0 million of redemption premiums. In connection with the February 2004 Equity Offering, the Company obtained an amendment and waiver under the credit agreement relating to its senior bank facilities that permitted the redemption, waived the requirement that 50% of the net proceeds of the offering be used to prepay loans under the senior bank facilities and amended the credit agreement to permit sale and leaseback transactions involving real or personal property with an aggregate fair value of up to $15.0 million (and to permit the asset sales in connection therewith) and to provide that net proceeds from asset sales in connection with such transactions would not be required to be used to prepay loans under the senior bank facilities.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for the accretion to redemption value and dividends related to the Company’s redeemable preferred stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share generally assumes the conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred stock into common stock if dilutive and also incorporates the incremental impact of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options. The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. For the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter 2003, the effect of stock option shares were not included as the related impact would have been anti-dilutive as the Company generated a net loss in those periods. Had the Company generated net income in the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2003, the assumed exercise of stock options would have resulted in an additional 12.6 million and 0.4 million shares of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter 2003, respectively. This computation excludes an additional 2.4 million and 21.0 million of options outstanding at April 2, 2004 and April 4, 2003, as their exercise price exceeds the average fair market value during these periods. For the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2003, the assumed conversion of 43.4 million and 40.1 million shares, respectively, of the redeemable preferred stock was also excluded in determining diluted earnings per share as the related impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company accounts for employee stock options related to its common stock in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations (“APB 25”) and provides the pro forma disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended by

SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”. The Company measures compensation expense relating to non-employee stock awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

Had the Company determined employee stock compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss for the quarters ended April 2, 2004 and April 4, 2003, respectively, would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in millions, except per share data):

	Quarter Ended
	April 2, 2004			April 4, 2003

The fair value of option grants during the respective periods has been estimated at the date of grant while the fair value of the discount on the shares sold under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan has been estimated at the beginning of the respective offering periods, both using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Quarter Ended
Employee Stock Options	April 2, 2004		April 4, 2003
Expected life (in years)	5		5
Risk-free interest rate	3.20	%	3.03	%

The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the first quarters of 2004 and 2003 was $4.23 and $0.76 per share, respectively. The weighted-average estimated fair value of the discount on the shares sold under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the first quarters of 2004 and 2003 was $1.63 and $0.37 per share, respectively.

	$	94.6	$	58.7	$	17.2	$	8.4	$	4.6	$	5.7	$	—

The Company obtained a letter of credit to secure obligations of up to $2.6 million under a service agreement with an information technology vendor. A downgrade in the Company’s debt rating could trigger acceleration of remaining amounts due under this agreement, a portion of which could be satisfied upon payment of the letter of credit. The agreement expires in 2006. The letter of credit is renewable annually until 2005 when it expires.

Other Contingencies

The Company’s manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. As part of the Company’s August 4, 1999 recapitalization, Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation and other costs or liabilities related to this matter. Motorola is actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona.

Indemnification Contingencies

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify

23

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(unaudited)

the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.

The Company is a party to various agreements with Motorola which were entered into in connection with the Company’s separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by the Company is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge Motorola’s claims.

The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

In addition to the above, from time to time the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of its securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provides indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by the Company.

While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Matters

The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described in the next paragraphs, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York City against the Company and certain of its former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for its initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01- CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters

24

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(unaudited)

of the Company’s initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters’ excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in its initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in the Company’s initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. The Company understands that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against us, to a single federal district judge for purposes of coordinated case management. The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit and has defended, and intends to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable.

On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, the Company filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of our individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in our litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against the Company under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to the Company and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The Court also denied the underwriter defendants’ motion to dismiss in all respects.

In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of our Board of Directors, the Company elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against the Company and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling less than $1 billion are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, the class members will be entitled to recover the difference between $1 billion and the aggregate amount of those recoveries from the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, the Company and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that they may have against the underwriters of our initial public offerings.

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers’ directors and officers’ liability insurance policy proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer’s insurance coverage were insufficient

25

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(unaudited)

to pay that issuer’s allocable share of the settlement costs. The Company expects that its insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that the Company will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement. Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other things, negotiating, executing, and filing with the Court final settlement documents, and final approval by the Court. Formal settlement documents for submission to the Court are currently being drafted. If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, however, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While the Company can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 10:  Related Party Transactions

Immediately prior to our August 4, 1999 recapitalization, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola, Inc. As a result of the recapitalization, an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group owned approximately 91% and Motorola owned approximately 9% of our outstanding common stock. During 2003, Motorola sold its shares of the Company’s common stock and is no longer a related party. Therefore, related party activities between the Company and Motorola are presented as follows (in millions) only for the quarter ended April 4, 2003, and as of December 31, 2003, when Motorola was a related party:

	Quarter ended April 4, 2003
Revenues from Motorola	$	21.5
Cash paid for:
Purchases of manufacturing services from Motorola	$	1.9
Cost of other services, rent and equipment purchased from Motorola	$	0.4
Cash received for:
Freight sharing agreement with Motorola	$	—
Rental of property and equipment to Motorola	$	2.2
Product sales to Motorola	$	15.4
	As of December 31, 2003
Accounts receivable from Motorola	$	7.7
Accounts payable to Motorola	$	0.4
Accrued expenses payable to Motorola	$	0.7
Long-term debt payable to Motorola	$	139.9

Note 11:  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached final consensuses on Issue 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share” (“Issue 03-6”). Issue 03-6 addresses the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock, which securities entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The Company does not expect the adoption of Issue 03-6 to impact its financial condition or results of operations.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 22, 2004. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results could differ materially because of certain factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview

This section presents summary information regarding our industry, markets and operating trends only. For further information regarding the events summarized herein, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its entirety.

Industry Overview

We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics group to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and also to track our progress against the total market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The most recently published estimates of WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our total addressable market of approximately 20% in 2004 as compared to 14% for 2003 and approximately 10% for 2003 to 2006. These are projections and may not be indicative of actual results. Other industry data also indicate that the market for our products has begun to expand after the recent and prolonged downturn.

Business and Company Overview

We classify our products broadly as power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. We design, manufacture and market an extensive portfolio of semiconductor components that addresses the design needs of sophisticated electronic systems and products. Our power management semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our data management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing and communications systems. Our standard semiconductor components serve as “building block” components within virtually all electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog, and discrete categories used by WSTS.

We serve a broad base of end-user markets, including computing, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, wireless communications and networking. Applications for our products in these markets include portable electronics, computers, game stations, servers, automotive and industrial automation control systems, routers, switches, storage-area networks and automated test equipment.

We have four main product lines: power management and standard analog devices, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) power devices, high frequency clock and data management devices and standard components. Our extensive portfolio of devices enables us to offer advanced integrated circuits and the “building block” components that deliver system level functionality and design solutions. Our product portfolio currently comprises approximately 17,000 products and we shipped approximately 25.4 billion units in 2003. We specialize in micro packages, which offer increased performance characteristics while reducing the critical board space inside today’s ever shrinking electronic devices. We believe that our ability to offer a broad range of products provides our customers with single source purchasing on a cost-effective and timely basis.

We have approximately 185 direct customers worldwide, and we also service approximately 280 significant original equipment manufacturers indirectly through our distributor and electronic manufacturing service provider customers. Our direct and indirect customers include: (1) leading original equipment manufacturers in a

27

broad variety of industries, such as Alcatel, Intel, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Siemens and Sony; (2) electronic manufacturing service providers, such as Flextronics, Jabil and Solectron; and (3) global distributors, such as Arrow, Avnet, EBV Elektronik, Future, Solomon Enterprise and World Peace.

We currently have design operations in Arizona, Rhode Island, Texas, China, the Czech Republic and France, and we currently operate manufacturing facilities in Arizona, Rhode Island, China, the Czech Republic, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Slovakia.

Historically, the semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical. During a down cycle, unit demand and pricing have tended to fall in tandem, resulting in revenue declines. In response to such declines, manufacturers have shut down production capacity. When new applications or other factors have eventually caused demand to strengthen, production volumes have eventually stabilized and then grown again. As market unit demand has reached levels above capacity production capabilities, shortages have begun to occur, which typically has caused pricing power to swing back from customers to manufacturers, thus prompting further capacity expansion. Such expansion has typically resulted in overcapacity following a decrease in demand, which has triggered another similar cycle.

We believe we have entered into a cycle of rising volume and prices, as our manufacturing capacity utilization has increased to over 90%, our book-to-bill ratio has exceeded 1 in each quarter of the past five quarters and we have been able to selectively increase prices on some products where there are market shortages.

These recent trends are in sharp contrast to the last three years during which we had to consistently reduce our costs in order to generate sufficient cash flow to fund investments in new products and expand production capabilities in lower cost areas of the world.

Cost Savings and Restructuring Activities

Since the fourth quarter of 2000, we have been implementing profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure and as a result, we expect to rank, as compared to our primary competitors, among the lowest in terms of cost structure. In 2004 we expect to realize the full benefit of our 2002 profitability enhancement program and expect to achieve approximately $151 million of annualized cost savings as compared to our cost structure during the third quarter of 2002. Our 2004 profitability enhancement program primarily includes the phase out of our manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, R.I. and our assembly and test operations in the Czech Republic, both of which are expected to be completed by the end of 2004. We expect the cost savings from these activities will produce approximately $20 million to $25 million of annual cost savings beginning in 2005. In the first quarter of 2004, we entered into a five-year agreement with respect to the outsourcing of information technology infrastructure. As part of the agreement, we sold certain system software modules, resulting in a loss on disposal of assets of $12.0 million. As a result of these actions, we expect to achieve approximately $1.0 million per quarter of cost savings in future quarters. While facility closures and production shifts have resulted in some reductions in our manufacturing capacity, we do not expect these reductions to affect our ability to meet our foreseeable productions needs. Our profitability enhancement programs will continue to focus on:

• consolidation of manufacturing sites to improve economies of scale;

• transfer of production to lower cost regions;

• increase die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner by moving production from 4” to 6” wafers and increasing the number of die per square inch;

• reduce the number of new product platforms and process flows; and

• focus production on profitable product lines.

28

New Product Innovation

As a result of the success of our research and development initiatives, we introduced 260 new products in 2003 and an additional 21 new products in the first quarter of 2004. The primary emphasis of our new product development efforts is on power management and high frequency clock and data management solutions, which we expect to be among the highest margin product families within our portfolio.

Debt Reduction and Financing Activities

Since we became an independent company as a result of our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. During the second half of 2003, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt, reduce the related interest costs and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to provide additional operating flexibility. These actions included using our September 2003 equity offering proceeds to prepay our senior bank facilities, issuing lower cost debt to prepay our senior bank facilities and amending our senior bank facilities to extend our maturities and provide a lower interest rate.

In the first quarter of 2004 we continued to focus on reducing our long-term debt and associated interest expense by redeeming $70 million principal amount of our first lien senior secured notes due 2010 and $105 million principal amount of our second lien senior secured notes due 2008 at a redemption price of 112% of the principal amount of such notes (plus accrued an unpaid interest to the redemption date) with a portion of the proceeds from our February 2004 sale of 34.4 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.98 per share. In connection with the offering we amended our senior bank facilities to permit us to use the proceeds of such offering within 270 days of completion to purchase, redeem or retire a portion of our senior subordinated notes due 2009 and our first lien senior secured notes and second lien senior secured notes.

In April 2004 we issued $260.0 million principal amount of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024. We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering for the repurchase and retirement of our outstanding senior subordinated notes due 2009. The zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible under certain circumstances into approximately 26.5 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $9.82 per share.

As a result of the first quarter of 2004 redemption of the first lien and the second lien senior secured notes, the expected repurchase of our senior subordinated notes due 2009, and the refinancing of our senior bank facilities (discussed below), we expect to reduce interest expense by approximately $53 million annually.

On April 22, 2004 we refinanced $320.5 million of loans under our senior bank facilities. We replaced our tranche E term loan facility with a new tranche F term loan facility, which bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the tranche E term loan facility. Principal repayments of the new tranche F term loan facility will be due throughout 2008 and 2009, provided that, if we have not redeemed or repurchased our second lien senior secured notes in full prior to November 14, 2007, the tranche F term loan facility will mature on November 15, 2007. Additionally, in connection with this repricing, the senior bank facilities were amended to, among other things:

• permit us to use for general corporate purposes up to $30 million of the proceeds from the sale of East Greenwich manufacturing facility;

• subject to certain restrictions, permit us to apply the net proceeds of certain equity or debt issuances to be used to purchase, redeem or retire any of the first lien senior secured notes, second lien senior secured notes or junior subordinated note;

• amend the definition of consolidated EBITDA in the credit agreement relating to the senior credit facilities to permit the add back of premiums associated with the redemption, repayment or repurchase of securities; and

• replace the existing revolving credit facility with a new facility that bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the existing revolving facility.

Outlook

Based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that revenues for the second quarter of 2004 will increase by 6% to 7% as compared to the first quarter of 2004. We expect average selling prices will increase in the second quarter of 2004 and our gross margins will increase by 150 to 200 basis points.

For the second quarter of 2004, we expect selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses to range from 11% to 12% of revenues and research and development expenses to range from 7% to 8% of revenues.

(1) In the second quarter of 2003, upon the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 45 we consolidated our investment of Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Leshan”) that was previously accounted for using the equity method. Also in the second quarter of 2003 we recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans. The historical results for the quarter ended April 4, 2003 have been revised to reflect both of these accounting changes.

Revenues

Revenues were $308.2 million in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to $269.5 in the first quarter of 2003. The 14.4% increase is primarily due to improvements in volume, which have been partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of approximately 8%. Average selling prices dropped in each quarter of 2003 due to industry competition; however, as capacity utilization began to exceed 85% on an industry-wide basis during the third quarter of 2003, pricing began to stabilize. Our average selling prices in the first quarter of 2004 relative to the fourth quarter of 2003 increased by approximately 1.0%. The revenues by product line are as follows (dollars in millions):

	Quarter Ended April 2, 2004		As a % Revenue		Quarter Ended April 4, 2003		As a % Revenue		Dollar Change		% Change
Power Management and Standard Analog	$	91.2	29.6	%	$	83.6	31.0	%	$	7.6	9.1	%
MOS Power Devices		53.2	17.3	%		35.7	13.2	%		17.5	49.0	%
High Frequency Clock and Data Management		26.0	8.4	%		19.3	7.2	%		6.7	34.7	%
Standard Components		137.8	44.7	%		130.9	48.6	%		6.9	5.3	%
Total Revenues	$	308.2			$	269.5			$	38.7

Revenues from our power management and standard analog product line increased $7.6 million, or 9.1%, as increases in revenues attributable to power conversion and portable products were partially offset by decreases in automotive product revenues.

Revenues from MOS power devices increased $17.5 million, or 49.0%, in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003. The primary growth in revenue can be attributed to the success of several new products designed for the computing, cell phone and consumer electronic end markets.

Revenues from high frequency clock and data management products increased $6.7 million, or 34.7%, in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003. The growth in this sector is primarily driven by the automated test equipment causing the increase in revenues both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues.

Revenue from standard components increased $6.9 million, or 5.3%, in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003. The increase in revenue is attributed to increased demand for products used in wireless and handheld applications, and computing, as well as increased unit pricing.

Revenues by geographic area as a percentage of revenues were as follows:

	Quarter Ended April 2, 2004		As a % Revenue		Quarter Ended April 4, 2003		As a % Revenue
Americas		95.6	31	%	$	92.2	34	%
Asia Pacific		159.3	52	%		129.0	48	%
Europe		53.3	17	%		48.3	18	%
Total	$	308.2	100	%	$	269.5	100	%

A majority of our end customers, served directly or through distribution channels, are manufacturers of electronic devices. In recent years, there has been a trend toward moving such manufacturing activities to lower cost regions, particularly in Asia. Our shift in revenues by geographic area reflects this trend.

31

Gross Profit

Our gross profit was $95.5 million and $74.8 million in first quarter of 2004 and in the first quarter of 2003, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, our gross margin was 31.1% in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to 27.8% in the first quarter of 2003. Although declines in average selling prices had a detrimental impact on our gross margin during the first quarter 2004 as compared to first quarter 2003, we were able to more than offset these effects through increased sales volume, improved manufacturing capacity utilization and cost savings from our restructuring programs.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $23.5 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2003 representing an increase of $2.4 million or 11.4%. Research and development expenses remained relatively consistent representing 7.6% and 7.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $2.4 million increase in research and development is attributable to increased personnel and software application costs associated with new application and platform development initiatives. The primary emphasis of our new product development efforts has been, and continues to be, in the expected high growth market applications of power management and high frequency clock and data management solutions, with over 70% of our overall research and development investments focused in these areas.

Selling and marketing expenses were $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2004 and $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2003 representing an increase of $2.3 million or 14.3%. Selling and marketing remained a constant 6.0% as percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $2.3 million increase is attributable to increased personnel in our internal sales and marketing personnel and field application engineers, increased commissions and bonuses as well as increased costs associated with marketing and pricing software tools. We plan to make investments in our sales and marketing systems to identify new customers as well as to expand our penetration of existing customers in selected product areas.

General and administrative expenses were $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $19.6 million in the first quarter of 2003, representing 5.6% and 7.3% of revenues in those periods. The decrease is attributable to the cost savings from the relocation of functions to lower cost regions, reduced executive hiring costs and lower costs for outside consultants and services related to information technology functions.

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2003. In the third quarter of 2003, we ceased amortization of our developed technology intangible asset when we wrote-off the remaining balance acquired in connection with our acquisition of Cherry Semiconductor in April 2000.

Other Operating Expenses — Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other

Restructuring, asset impairments and other charges were $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2004. These charges included $12.0 million of loss on sale of fixed assets, $1.0 million to cover employee separation costs, and $0.1 million of exit costs.

In the first quarter of 2004, we entered into a five-year agreement with respect to the outsourcing of information technology (“IT”) infrastructure, messaging, data center network, help desk and onsite management services. As part of the agreement, we sold certain system software modules, licenses and the hardware for $3.8 million, which had a net book value of $15.8 million prior to the sale, resulting in a loss on disposal of assets of $12.0 million. We then leased back such system software modules and associated hardware and leased certain new hardware. Outside appraisals were done on these assets to help management estimate their fair market value.

As a result of the new IT outsourcing agreement we plan to reduce our current IT staffing levels. In connection with this reduction, we recorded a $0.3 million severance charge related to the termination of 12

32

employees in the United States. All terminations and associated severance payments related to these charges are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2004. As a result of these actions, we expect to achieve approximately $1.0 million per quarter of cost savings in future quarters.

The remaining $0.7 million of employee separation costs relates to the previously announced shutdown of our back-end manufacturing lines in Roznov, Czech Republic. This amount represents a portion of the total severance benefits for approximately 460 employees. We previously recorded a similar charge of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, and we estimate that additional severance charges of approximately $0.9 million related to such shutdown will be recognized ratably throughout the remainder of 2004.

The $0.1 million of exit costs relate to certain exit activities that were completed in connection with the previously announced shutdown of our manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

For more information on our restructuring activity see Note 4 “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, net” of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $34.3 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $39.1 million in the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in interest expense is a result of decreased principal amounts due under our senior bank facilities and our senior secured second lien notes, which were partially offset by an increase in the average principal amount due under our senior secured first lien notes for the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003 as a result of the timing of the initial issuance and repayment of these notes. Our average month-end long-term debt balance (including current maturities) in the first quarter of 2003 was $1,429.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 10.9% compared to $1,250.2 million and a weighted average interest rate of 11.0% in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, through March 2003 we were charged supplemental interest on our senior bank facilities. See also “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Key Financing Events” for a description of our current refinancing activities.

Loss on Debt Prepayment

Loss on debt prepayment totaled $33.0 million and $3.5 million in first quarters of 2004 and 2003, respectively. These amounts represent the write-off of debt issuance costs and certain third-party costs incurred with respect to debt refinancings that occurred during those periods. The $33.0 million first quarter amount also includes approximately $21.0 of redemption premiums paid in connection with the partial retirement of our first lien senior secured notes and second lien senior secured notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $2.2 million and $1.6 million in first quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The provision related to income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

During 2003 we changed our method of accounting for net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses relating to our defined benefit pension obligations and recorded a charge of $21.5 million, both before and after taxes. For further discussion on this change see Note 3, “Accounting Change” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This section includes a discussion and analysis of our cash requirements, our sources and uses of cash, our debt and debt covenants, and our management of cash.

Cash Requirements

Commercial Commitment and Contractual Obligations

Our principal outstanding contractual obligations relate to our senior bank facilities, other long-term debt, operating leases, purchase obligations, pension obligations and our redeemable preferred stock. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at April 2, 2004 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in the future:

	Amount of Commitment by Expiration Period
Commercial commitments	Total		Remainder of 2004		2005		2006		2007		2008		2009 and Thereafter

Total contractual obligations	$	1,454.7	$	86.7	$	57.7	$	166.7	$	232.9	$	202.7	$	708.0

Our long-term debt includes $320.1 million under senior bank facilities, $124.7 million of senior secured notes (net of unamortized discount) due 2010, $190.4 million of senior secured notes (net of unamortized discount) due 2008, $260.0 million of senior subordinated notes due 2009, $143.4 million under the junior subordinated note, $23.0 million under a note payable to a Japanese bank, $20.0 million under a loan facility with a Chinese bank, $46.8 million under a loan facility with another Chinese bank and $12.8 million of capital lease obligations. See Note 6 “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

In the normal course of our business, we enter into various operating leases for equipment including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.

Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemable at the holder’s option anytime after September 7, 2009. The preferred stock has a cumulative dividend payable quarterly in cash, at the rate of 8.0% per annum (or, if greater during the relevant quarterly period, in an amount equal to the value of the dividends that would be paid on the common stock then issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock), compounded to the extent not paid, and subject to restrictions under our senior bank facilities, senior subordinated notes and other documents relating to our indebtedness. The amount shown in the table above assumes no conversion of the preferred stock or redemption until the earliest redemption date of September 7, 2009. We are required to accrete the value of the preferred stock to its redemption value, and any resulting non-cash charge would reduce net income applicable to common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

34

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $221.4 million at April 2, 2004. We believe we have sufficient cash to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. Our senior bank facilities include a $25.0 million revolving facility. Letters of credit totaling $12.6 million were outstanding under the revolving facility at April 2, 2004. We amended our primary foreign exchange hedging agreement to provide for termination if at any time the amount available under our revolving credit facility is less than $2.5 million.

We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.

We are a party to various agreements with Motorola, a former affiliate, which were entered into in connection with our separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. Our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by us is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow us to challenge Motorola’s claims.

We provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

In addition to the above, from time to time we provide standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of our securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provides indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by us.

While our future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for research and development, to make capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments, and for debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and targeted asset sales. Additionally, as part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis.

35

We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:

• factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, the impact of our restructuring programs on our productivity, and our ability to make the research and development expenditures required to remain competitive in our business; and

• factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, our ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants under our existing credit facilities, and other limitations imposed by our credit facilities or arising from our substantial leverage.

Our ability to service our long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may beyond our control.

If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash balances will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements through April 2, 2005. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.

Operations

Our operational cash flows are affected by the ability of our operations to generate cash, and our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities. Each of these components is discussed herein:

36

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a key indicator that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. While EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table sets forth our EBITDA for the three months ended April 2, 2004, December 31, 2003, and April 4, 2003, with a reconciliation to cash flows from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles:

	Quarter Ended
	April 2, 2004			December 31, 2003			April 4, 2003(1)
Net loss	$	(47.6	)	$	(42.4	)	$	(50.5	)

Changes in operating assets and liabilities		3.2			1.5			(14.9	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	32.8		$	27.8		$	4.6

(1) Amounts have been revised from those previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2003 to reflect the consolidation of our majority-owned investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor and the change in methodology for recognizing actuarial gains or losses relating to the defined benefit pension obligations.

As discussed in “Debt Instruments, Guarantees and Related Covenants” included elsewhere in this report, our debt covenants require us to maintain minimum adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined by our credit agreement. This adjusted EBITDA computation excludes certain restructuring and other charges and contains other differences from the EBITDA as defined above. Therefore, EBITDA in the above table is not representative of the adjusted EBITDA used to determine our debt covenant compliance.

37

Working Capital

Working capital fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may increase as we purchase additional manufacturing raw materials and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers, and contract termination costs. Our working capital, including cash, was $250.8 million at April 2, 2004.

The components of our working capital at April 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are set forth below, followed by explanations for significant changes between December 31, 2003 and April 2, 2004:

	April 2, 2004		December 31, 2003		Change

Total current liabilities		343.4		310.2		33.2
Net working capital	$	250.8	$	212.5	$	38.3

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $34.8 million is primarily attributable to cash provided by operating activities of $32.8 million and by unused proceeds from the February 2004 equity offering, partially offset by capital expenditures during the quarter of $30.6 million. See further discussion under “Key Financing Events”.

The increase in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to an increase in sales during the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the last quarter of 2003. Revenue growth could cause further growth in our receivable portfolio, unless such growth can be offset by reduced credit terms or improved collection rates.

The increase in inventory is attributable to an increase in production at the end of the first quarter of 2004 necessitated by increased backlog. Improved demand could cause a further increase in inventory if we expand production in response.

The increase in other current assets during the first quarter of 2004 is primarily due to a receivable in connection with the sale-leaseback of certain IT systems, as well as increases in certain value added tax (VAT) amounts in Europe.

The increase in accounts payable in the first quarter of 2004 was mainly a result of inventory build up to meet projected demand increases.

The increase in accrued expenses was attributable to an increase in accrued payroll and accrued bonuses, as well as related employee benefit accruals. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in sales reserves due to payments under certain distribution sale incentive programs.

38

The decrease in accrued interest is primarily attributable to the repayment of loans under our second lien senior secured notes with the proceeds of the February 2004 equity offering that accelerated certain interest payments to the first quarter of 2004.

The increase in deferred income is attributable to increased inventory levels at distributors as compared to December 31, 2003 as a result of increased resales to distributors of 11-12% and price increases in the distribution channel by 2-3%.

The decrease in current portion of long-term debt relates to the effects of our refinancing activities as described in “Key Financing Events” below.

Long-Term Assets and Liabilities

Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized debt issuance costs.

Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to more efficiently utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements. As we have consolidated our operations in few locations, we have not needed to incur large capital expenditures. Accordingly, our capital expenditures during 2003 and 2004 have been at less than historical rates. We do not expect that our capital expenditure reductions will have a negative impact on our ability to service our customers, as we believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. Capital expenditures were $30.6 million during the first quarter of 2004 and $6.2 million during the first quarter of 2003. Although our debt covenants contain certain restrictions that limit our amount of future capital expenditures, we do not believe that these restrictions will have a significant impact on our future operating performance.

Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt, consist of liabilities under our foreign and domestic defined benefit pension plans and other miscellaneous liabilities. Our annual funding for the pension plan obligations is equal to the minimum legal required amount in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon many actuarial assumptions.

Key Financing Events

Overview

Set forth below is a summary of the recent key financing events affecting our capital structure.

Since we became an independent company as a result of our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. Our long-term debt includes significant amounts under our senior bank facilities, which contained minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio covenants with which we were not in compliance as of June 29, 2001. We obtained a waiver in respect of such non-compliance and any future non-compliance through 2002 and amended our senior bank facilities to make these covenants less restrictive through 2005; however, in connection with such waiver and amendment, we added minimum cash and EBITDA covenants and agreed to pay additional supplemental interest and obtain a $100 million equity investment from our principal stockholder.

During the second half of 2003, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt, reduce related interest costs and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility. In September 2003, we issued approximately 37.0 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $4.50 per share, the net proceeds of which were used to prepay a portion of our senior bank facilities. In connection with this offering, we amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things, extend the average maturity of the term loans through a refinancing of $100 million of such loans and replace our $62.5 million revolving facility with a new $25.0 million revolving facility.

39

In November 2003, we further amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things, reduce the interest rate on our outstanding term loans by 0.75%. In November 2003, we extended the maturity of our $20.0 million loan facility with a Chinese bank for an additional three years under the same terms and conditions. In December 2003, we prepaid approximately $48.0 million of loans under our senior bank facilities with the proceeds from a new loan facility with a Chinese bank that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%, as compared to LIBOR plus 3.25% then payable under our senior bank facilities.

In the first quarter of 2004, we used the net proceeds of the sale of approximately 34.4 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $6.98 per share to redeem $70 million principal amount of our first lien senior secured notes due 2010 and $105 million principal amount of our second lien senior secured notes due 2008 at a redemption price of 112% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the offering we further amended our senior bank facilities to permit us to use the proceeds of such offering within 270 days of completion to purchase, redeem or retire a portion of our senior subordinated notes due 2009 and our first lien senior secured notes and second lien senior secured notes.

In April 2004, we further amended our senior bank facilities. See “April 2004 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities and Loan Repricing” below.

The details of each of these financing events are outlined below. Also, see Note 6 “Long-Term Debt” and Note 7 “Common Stock” of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

September 2003 Public Offering of Common Stock and Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities

On September 23, 2003, we issued approximately 37.0 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $4.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $156.8 million (after deducting the underwriters’ discount of $8.2 million and offering expenses of $1.4 million, including $0.4 million that were unpaid as of December 31, 2003). We used the net proceeds to prepay $152.7 million of our senior bank facilities and to fund $3.8 million of costs associated with our amendment to our senior bank facilities, as described below. In connection with this prepayment, we wrote off $2.5 million of debt issuance costs.

In connection with the offering, we amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things:

• provide us with additional tranche D term loans under our senior bank facilities aggregating $100.0 million, the entire amount of which was borrowed simultaneously with the completion of offering;

• permit us to apply the net proceeds from equity offerings by us or any of our subsidiaries (including the equity offering described above) and borrowings under the additional tranche D term loans to prepay scheduled principal installments of all term loan borrowings outstanding under our senior bank facilities in chronological order;

• reduce from 75% to 50% the percentage of net proceeds from future equity offerings by us or any of our subsidiaries that are required to be applied to prepay term loan borrowings outstanding under our senior bank facilities; and

• provide us with a new $25.0 million revolving facility that will mature on August 4, 2006, that provides for the issuance of letters of credit in currencies other than U.S. dollars that are to be specified and that, in all other respects, has terms substantially similar to those of our existing revolving facility.

The proceeds of the borrowing under the additional tranche D term loans (which were issued at a discount of $0.5 million) were used to prepay senior credit facility borrowings as described above. Excluding this discount, costs incurred in connection with this debt refinancing totaled $3.8 million, of which $0.4 million was

40

attributable to third party costs. Such third-party costs were expensed as incurred and included in loss on debt prepayment in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003. The remaining $3.4 million of debt refinancing costs were included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized using the effective interest method.

November 2003 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities and Loan Repricing

In November 2003, we refinanced $368.5 million of term loans under our senior bank facilities. We replaced our tranche B, tranche C and tranche D term loan facilities under our senior bank facilities with a single new tranche E term loan facility with terms, other than the interest rate, that are identical to those of the tranche D term loan facility. The tranche E term loan was due throughout 2006 and 2007, ending in 2007. We also reduced the interest rate on our term loans by 0.75% per annum. Costs incurred in connection with this refinancing totaled $1.0 million, of which $0.2 million was attributable to third party costs, which were expensed as incurred and included in loss on debt prepayment in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003. The remaining $0.8 million of debt refinancing costs were included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized using the effective interest method.

December 2003 Chinese Bank Loan

In December 2003, we prepaid approximately $48.0 million of the tranche E term loans under our senior bank facilities with the proceeds from a new loan provided to our joint venture in Leshan, China by the China Construction Bank. The loan facility is comprised of two $24 million tranches. The first tranche has a 10-year term with a balloon payment due December 2013; the second tranche has a three-year term with scheduled principal payments through December 2006, which is extendible for an additional three years under certain circumstances. Each tranche bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum, payable quarterly as compared to LIBOR plus 3.25% then payable under our senior bank facilities.

February 2004 Public Offering of Common Stock and Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities

On February 9, 2004, we and our principal stockholder, Texas Pacific Group, completed a public offering of common stock pursuant to which we issued approximately 34.4 million shares at a public offering price of $6.98 per share. The net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $226.7 million (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts of $10.8 million and offering expenses of $2.4 million). We used a portion of the net proceeds received by us to redeem $70.0 million outstanding principal amount of our first lien senior secured notes and $105.0 million outstanding principal amount of our second lien senior secured notes, in each case on March 10, 2004 at a redemption price of 112.0% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. In connection with this redemption, we wrote off approximately $12.0 million of debt issuance costs. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder.

In connection with the offering, we amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things:

• waive the requirement under the credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities that 50% of the net proceeds of such offering be used to prepay loans under the facilities;

• permit sale and leaseback transactions involving real or personal property with an aggregate fair value of up to $15 million (and permit the asset sales in connection therewith) and provide that net proceeds from asset sales in connection with such transaction will not be required to be used to prepay loans under the senior bank facilities; and

• permit us to purchase, redeem or retire a portion of our first lien senior secured notes due 2010, second lien senior secured notes due 2008 and senior subordinated notes due 2009 with the proceeds of such offering within 270 days after its completion so long as no default or event of default exists under the

41

credit agreement after giving effect to such purchases, redemptions or retirements, such purchases, redemptions or retirements comply with the indentures governing such notes and we immediately cancel any such notes that are purchased, redeemed or retired.

April 2004 Offer to Repurchase Senior Subordinated Notes and Issuance of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On April 6, 2004, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of our outstanding 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009. The total consideration offered for each $1,000 dollars of principal amount of notes tendered was $1,089.06, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repurchase date. The Company anticipates redeeming any remaining outstanding senior subordinated notes after the cash tender offer on or about August 1, 2004 at 106% of par value. In order to finance the cash tender offer, we issued $260.0 million of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024. The notes do not bear cash interest, nor does the principal amount accrete. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain existing and future subsidiaries of the Company.

Holders may convert the notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes before April 15, 2024 under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 2004 through maturity if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; (4) after the date, if ever, on which either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Rating Services assigns an initial credit rating to the notes, during any period in which the credit rating assigned to the notes by either Moody’s or S&P is three or more rating subcategories below the initial credit rating assigned by Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, or any period in which the notes are no longer rated by either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, if such ratings agency had previously rated the notes; or (5) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events. Beginning April 15, 2010, we may redeem any of the notes at specified redemption prices. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on April 15 of 2010, 2014 and 2019. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness.

We received net proceeds of approximately $251.2 million from the sale of the notes (and would receive approximately $280.3 million if the initial purchasers’ right to purchase up to an additional $30.0 million principal amount of note is exercised in full), after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

April 2004 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities and Loan Repricing

On April 22, 2004 we refinanced $320.5 million of loans under our senior bank facilities. We replaced our tranche E term loan facility with a new tranche F term loan facility, which bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the tranche E term loan facility. Principal repayments of the new tranche F term loan facility will be due throughout 2008 and 2009, provided that, if we have not redeemed or repurchased our second lien senior secured notes in full prior to November 14, 2007, the tranche F term loan facility will mature on November 15, 2007. Additionally, in connection with this repricing, the senior bank facilities were amended to, among other things:

• permit us to use for general corporate purposes up to $30 million of the proceeds from the sale of East Greenwich manufacturing facility;

• subject to certain restrictions, permit us to apply the net proceeds of certain equity or debt issuances to be used to purchase, redeem or retire any of the first lien senior secured notes, second lien senior secured notes or junior subordinated note;

42

• amend the definition of consolidated EBITDA in the credit agreement relating to the senior credit facilities to permit the add back of premiums associated with the redemption, repayment or repurchase of securities; and

• replace the existing revolving credit facility with a new facility that bears interest at a rate that is 0.50% per annum lower than the rate borne by the existing revolving facility.

Debt Instruments, Guarantees and Related Covenants

The following table presents the components of long-term debt as of April 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

	April 2, 2004					December 31, 2003
	Interest Rate		Balance			Interest Rate		Balance
Senior Bank Facilities:
Tranche E	4.3750	%	$	320.1		4.4375	%	$	320.1
First-Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2010, 12% interest payable semi-annually, net of debt discount of $5.3 and $8.4				124.7					191.6

Loan with a Chinese bank due 2006, interest payable quarterly at 3.1% and 3.5%, respectively				20.0					20.0
Loan with a Chinese bank, interest payable quarterly at 2.7%				46.8					48.0
Capital lease obligations				12.8					6.4
				1,141.2					1,302.9
Less: Current maturities				(15.3	)				(11.4	)
			$	1,125.9				$	1,291.5

We have pledged substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and similar assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (but no more than 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries held by them) to secure our senior bank facilities, first lien secured notes and second lien secured notes.

Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, the primary domestic operating subsidiary of ON Semiconductor Corporation, is the borrower under our senior bank facilities. ON Semiconductor Corporation and our other domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the obligations of the borrower under such facilities. ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC are co-issuers of our first lien senior secured notes due 2010, our second lien senior secured notes due 2008 and senior subordinated notes due 2009. Our other domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the obligations of the issuers of such notes. None of our non-U.S. subsidiaries guarantees the senior bank facilities or the notes.

43

As of April 2, 2004, we were in compliance with the various covenants and other requirements contained in the credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities and the indentures relating to our first lien senior secured notes due 2010, second lien senior secured notes due 2008 and our senior subordinated notes due 2009. We believe that we will be able to comply with the various covenants and other requirements contained in such credit agreement and indentures through April 2, 2005.

Our debt agreements contain, and any future debt agreements may include, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on among other things, our ability to:

• incur additional debt, including guarantees;

• incur liens;

• sell or otherwise dispose of assets;

• make investments, loans or advances;

• make some acquisitions;

• engage in mergers or consolidations;

• make capital expenditures;

• pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments;

• pay dividends from Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC to ON Semiconductor Corporation;

• engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

• enter into new lines of business;

• issue some types of preferred stock; and

• enter into transactions with our affiliates.

In addition, our senior bank facilities require that we maintain or achieve a minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined, and a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents. Any future debt could contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable.

Cash Management

Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms of new products.

Accounting Change

During the second quarter of 2003, we changed our method of accounting for net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses relating to our defined benefit pension obligations. Historically, we amortized our net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service lives of active plan participants, to the extent that such net gains or losses exceeded the greater of 10% of the related projected benefit obligation or plan assets. Effective January 1, 2003, we will no longer defer any actuarial gains or losses but will recognize such gains and losses during the fourth quarter of each year, which is the period our annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared. We believe that this change is to a preferable accounting method as actuarial gains or losses will be recognized currently in income rather than being deferred.

44

The impact of this change for periods prior to January 1, 2003 was a charge of $21.5 million or $0.12 per share, both before and after income taxes, and has been reflected as the cumulative effect of accounting change in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the quarter ended April 4, 2003. The effect of the change for the quarter ended April 4, 2003 was to decrease the loss before cumulative effect of accounting change by $1.6 million or $0.01 per share, both before and after income taxes, and to increase the net loss by $19.9 million or $0.11 per share, both before and after income taxes. Absent the accounting change, the $21.5 million of net unrecognized actuarial losses at December 31, 2002 would have been recognized as an operating expense in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Note 3 “Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report contain a detailed summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. We utilize the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue.    We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers, and distributors. We recognize revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers when title passes to the customer net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances.

Effective January 1, 2001, we changed our revenue recognition policy for distributor sales so that the related revenues are now deferred until the distributor resells the product to the end user. This change eliminated the need to provide for estimated sales returns from distributors. Title to products sold to distributors typically passes at the time of shipment by us so we record accounts receivable for the amount of the transaction, reduce our inventory for the products shipped and defer the related margin in our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize the related revenue and margin when the distributor sells the products to the end user. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.

Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Given that our revenues consist of a high volume of relatively similar products, our actual returns and allowances do not fluctuate significantly from period to period, and our returns and allowances provisions have historically been reasonably accurate.

Inventories.    We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and record provisions for slow moving inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end user demand. Projected end user demand is generally based on sales during the prior twelve months. These provisions can influence our results from operations. For example, when demand falls for a given part, all or a portion of the related inventory is reserved, impacting our cost of sales and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, we will generally recognize a higher than normal margin. However, the vast majority of product inventory that has been previously reserved is ultimately discarded. Although we do sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been relatively consistent on a quarterly basis and the related impact on our margins has not been material.

Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance.    We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. If we determine that we will not realize all or a portion of our remaining deferred tax assets, we will increase our valuation allowance with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine that

45

we will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense. In the fourth quarter of 2001, a valuation allowance was established for our domestic deferred tax assets and a portion of our foreign deferred tax assets. Additionally, throughout 2002 and 2003, no incremental domestic deferred tax benefits were recognized. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a related valuation allowance are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived for an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. In recent years, most of our assets that have been impaired consist of assets that were ultimately abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of due to cost reduction activities and the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. In some instances, these assets have subsequently been sold for amounts higher than their impaired value. When material, these gains are recorded in the restructuring, asset impairment and other, net line item in our consolidated statement of operations and disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Goodwill.    We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing our goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step is unnecessary. To date, our goodwill has not been considered to be impaired based on the results of this first step.

Defined Benefit Plans.    We maintain pension plans covering certain of our employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increase for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon management’s judgment, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions would impact the future expense recognition and cash funding requirements of our pension plans.

Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.    After September 7, 2009, the convertible redeemable preferred stock is convertible into common stock or redeemable for cash at 50% of the fair market value of the stock into which it is convertible. We account for the difference between the carrying amount of our convertible redeemable preferred stock and the redemption value by increasing the carrying amount for periodic accretion so that the carrying amount equals the redemption value at the earliest available redemption date. The periodic accretion amount changes as our stock price changes and as additional dividends accrue. Based on the average closing price of our common stock over the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2003 of $6.19, the accretion charge, in respect to the redemption feature, for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $0.5 million. For the first quarter of 2004 the average closing price used in the accretion calculation was $7.955 and resulted in a charge of $1.8 million.

Contingencies.    We are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the available information, we evaluate the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, we record the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and estimable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final consensuses on Issue 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share” (Issue 03-6). Issue 03-6 addresses the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The Company does not expect the adoption of Issue 03-6 to impact its financial condition or results of operations.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” or “anticipates,” or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. In this Form 10-Q, forward-looking information relates to second quarter 2004 revenues, gross margins and average selling prices, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues, and sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues, and similar matters. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made based on our current expectations and estimates, which involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Among these factors are changes in overall economic conditions, 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, availability of raw materials, competitors’ actions, pricing and gross margin pressures, loss of key customers, order cancellations or reduced bookings, changes in manufacturing yields, control of costs and expenses, significant litigation, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions, risks associated with our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, risks associated with our international operations, the threat or occurrence of international armed conflict and terrorist activities both in the United States and internationally, and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future results or events are described from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. See in particular our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 under the caption “Trends, Risks and Uncertainties” and similar disclosures in subsequently filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

At April 2, 2004, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,141.2 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $754.3 million. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $386.9 million outstanding balance on our variable interest rate debt; however, from time to time, we have entered into interest rate swaps and an interest rate cap to reduce this exposure. As of April 2, 2004, we had one interest rate swap covering $100.0 million of our variable interest rate debt. A 50 basis point change in interest rates would not materially change our expected interest expense for the next twelve months.

47

A majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, as a multinational business, we also conduct certain of these activities through transactions denominated in a variety of other currencies. We use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge firm commitments and reduce our overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures would generally be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments. This strategy reduces, but does not eliminate, the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. For example, changes in exchange rates may affect the foreign currency sales price of our products and can lead to increases or decreases in sales volume to the extent that the sales price of comparable products of our competitors are less or more than the sales price of our products. Our policy prohibits speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

Item 4.    Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We currently are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described in the next paragraphs, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, we were named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York City against us and certain of our former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for our initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of our initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters’ excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of our common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in our initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in our initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. We understand that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against us, to a single federal district judge for purposes of coordinated case management. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and have defended, and intend to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and we cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable for us.

On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, we filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of our individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in our litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against us under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to us and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The Court also denied the underwriter defendants’ motion to dismiss in all respects.

In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of our Board of Directors, we elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against us and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling less than $1 billion are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, the class members will be entitled to recover the

49

difference between $1 billion and the aggregate amount of those recoveries from the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, we and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that we may have against the underwriters of our initial public offerings.

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers’ directors and officers’ liability insurance policy proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer’s insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuer’s allocable share of the settlement costs. We expect that our insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that we will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement. Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other things, negotiating, executing, and filing with the Court final settlement documents, and final approval by the Court. Formal settlement documents for submission to the Court are currently being drafted. If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, however, we intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While we can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, we believe that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
