Attachment to Form 12b-25
Explanation for Part IV, Item 3.
     During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Registrant changed its business model related to the greater China and southeast Asia regions. Due to the licensing of the Registrant’s brand with one of its distributors in these regions, the Registrant has not recognized $56.1 million of shipments to this distributor which, for accounting purposes, will be recognized as collected. The Registrant also recorded a charge of $28.3 million related to the write off of goodwill and intellectual property associated with the planned divestiture of its Liquid Crystal on Silicone, or LCoS, business line. The Registrant recorded a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of approximately $13.5 million. This represents a significant change from the corresponding period for the previous fiscal year, in which the Registrant recorded a net income of approximately $4.4 million.
