SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates and tracks its results as one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of analog integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The Company has sixteen operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:

the nature of products and services;
the nature of the production processes;
the type or class of customer for their products and services; and
the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.

The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:

the sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company's sixteen operating segments;
the integrated circuits sold by each of the Company's operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;
the integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company's operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and
all of the Company's integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common electronics distributors.

All of the Company's operating segments share similar economic characteristics as they have a similar long term business model. The causes for variation among the Company's operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally, each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes its operating segments based upon changes in customers, end-markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.

Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with GAAP. Geographical revenue information is based on customers' ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each reporting period.

Net revenues from unaffiliated customers by geographic region were as follows:
