BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On January 9, 2012, the Company acquired Advanced Analogic Technologies, Incorporated ("AATI"). The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of AATI in exchange for an aggregated purchase price of $277.3 million, substantially comprised of cash consideration. AATI is an analog semiconductor company focused on enabling energy-efficient power management devices for consumer electronics, computing and communications markets. The acquisition expands the Company's portfolio across new vertical markets with highly complementary analog semiconductor products including battery chargers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators and LED drivers.

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities recognized in the Company’s acquisition of AATI was not finalized at the time of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q due to the proximity of the acquisition date of January 9, 2012 to the end of the Company's second fiscal quarter, March 30, 2012. The Company has, however, completed a preliminary purchase price allocation reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon estimates and assumptions which are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class related to the AATI acquisition and are reflected, as of the acquisition date, in the accompanying financial statements as follows (in thousands):

	As of
Estimated fair value of assets acquired	January 9, 2012
Cash	$	42,605
Short-term investments	20,900
Accounts receivable, net	10,712
Inventory	15,470
Deferred tax assets	18,358
Property, plant and equipment, net	3,888
Other assets	2,139
Identifiable intangible assets	40,240
Goodwill	138,796
Total assets acquired	293,108
Liabilities assumed	(15,764		)
Estimated fair value of assets acquired	$	277,344

The preliminary amount of purchase price allocated to goodwill of $138.8 million represents the synergistic value anticipated from cost efficiencies and cross-selling opportunities. The company expects that substantially all of the goodwill recognized as a result of the AATI acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The preliminary amount of the purchase price allocated to identifiable intangible assets recognized in the acquisition of AATI and the respective useful lives as of January 9, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value		Weighted Average Amortization Period Remaining (in Years)
Customer relationships	$	21,200	4.7
Developed technology	15,500		5.0
In process research and development ("IPR&D")	1,540		Various
Trade name	900		5.0
Backlog	1,100		0.3
Total identifiable intangible assets	$	40,240

Customer relationships represent the fair value of established relationships with original equipment manufacturers and distributors. Developed technology primarily represents the fair value of acquired AATI patented and unpatented technologies related to product designs. IPR&D represents the fair value of incomplete AATI research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility but are expected to generate future economic benefit as of the acquisition date, January 9, 2012. Because of the uncertainty related to the completion of these projects, the Company has determined that the amortization period will be established when the projects reach technological feasibility or are discontinued. If a project is discontinued or fails to meet technological feasibility, the value associated with that project will be written off in the period the determination is made. The trade name represents the brand and name recognition associated with the marketing of AATI products and was determined to have a finite life. Backlog represents the fair value of AATI unfilled firm orders as of the acquisition date. All intangible assets acquired in connection with the AATI acquisition will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective weighted average amortization period. The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observed. The Company considers the fair value of each of the acquired intangible assets to be Level 3 assets due to the significant estimates and assumptions used by management in establishing the estimated fair values. See Note 4, Fair Value in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the definition of Level 3 assets.

Net revenue and net income for AATI have been included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through the end of the fiscal quarter on March 30, 2012. The impact of AATI's ongoing operations on the Company's net revenue and net income were insignificant to the three and six months ended March 30, 2012. The Company recognized transaction related costs associated with the AATI acquisition of approximately $9.2 million, including arbitration costs, during the six months ended March 30, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma financial results for the six months ended March 30, 2012 and April 1, 2011 combine the unaudited historical results of Skyworks with the unaudited historical results of AATI for the six months ended March 30, 2012 and April 1, 2011, respectively. The results include the effects of unaudited pro forma adjustments as if AATI was acquired at the beginning of the prior fiscal year, October 2, 2010. The unaudited pro forma results presented include amortization charges for acquired intangible assets, adjustments for increases in the fair value of acquired inventory, other charges and related tax effects. The pro forma financial results presented below do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. These unaudited results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):
