2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

The first quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The second quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year.

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to rationalize the Company’s manufacturing capacity and infrastructure. The restructuring activities are intended to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. In addition to these cost reductions, these activities will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of its Vista Point Technologies camera modules business, including intellectual property and the China-based manufacturing operations to Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera Technologies”), and DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of another non-core business.

In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses represent separate asset groups and the divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, approximately $975.7 million of proceeds from bank borrowings and repayment of bank borrowings, related to certain short-term facilities, were previously reflected on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These amounts should have been reflected on a net basis in “repayment of bank borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations” and have been corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The correction had no net impact on total cash used in financing activities. This error had no impact on current year cash flows.
