Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

Announcement of Financial Results

The Company’s press release setting forth its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and the fiscal year ended June 27, 2003 reported under Item 5 and included as Exhibit 99.1 is also furnished pursuant to this Item 9 and Item 12, “Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”.

The transcript of the Company's conference call discussing its fourth quarter and fiscal year financial results held on July 24, 2003 is included as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is furnished pursuant to Item 9 and Item 12 of Form 8-K and is not intended to be incorporated by reference into the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933.

The Company's conference call discussion of its fourth quarter financial results included a comparison of its reported operating expenses to a non-GAAP measure of operating expenses, net of restructuring charges, a non-cash impairment charge relating the writedown of a manufacturing facility and a reduction in estimated accrued liabilities. The Company's operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter were $131 million, $7 million more than its non-GAAP expenses of $124 million, compared to operating expenses on a GAAP basis in the third quarter of $128 million, $3 million more than non-GAAP expenses of $125 million. The Company also discussed its non-GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter in comparison to its third quarter loss, eliminating such charges and later in the discussion provided its operating loss on a GAAP basis. Its non-GAAP loss in the fourth fiscal quarter of $27.6 million was $9 million less than its reported loss of $36.6 million. The Company incurred an operating loss of $44.7 million on a non-GAAP basis in the third fiscal quarter, $9.7 million more than the $35 million operating loss reported on a GAAP basis. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented on the Company's conference call with their comparable GAAP measures has also been made available on the Company's Investor Relations section of its website.

The Company believes that the presentation of its operating expense and operating loss net of the charges described above is useful to investors as a measure of the “run rate” of the business. These charges can be useful to eliminate for certain analytical purposes.
