PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Proxy Statement, which is being mailed to stockholders on or about April 15, 2008, is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of ANADIGICS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ANADIGICS” or the “Company”), of proxies for use at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, May 15, 2008, at 10:00 o’clock a.m. (E.S.T.), at the Somerset Hills Hotel, 200 Liberty Corner Road (Route 525), Warren, New Jersey 07059, and at any adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2008, their authorized representatives and guests of the Company.  Admission will be by ticket only.  For registered stockholders, the bottom portion of the proxy card enclosed with the Proxy Statement is their Annual Meeting ticket.  Beneficial owners with shares held through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, should request tickets in writing from Investor Relations, ANADIGICS, Inc., 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059, and include proof of ownership, such as a bank or brokerage firm account statement or a letter from the broker, trustee, bank or nominee holding their stock, confirming beneficial ownership.  Stockholders who do not obtain tickets in advance may obtain them upon verification of ownership at the Registration Desk on the day of the Annual Meeting.  Admission to the Annual Meeting will be facilitated if tickets are obtained in advance.  Tickets may be issued to others at the discretion of the Company.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to (i) elect two Class I Directors; (ii) approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the “2005 Plan”) to (a) increase the number of shares issuable thereunder from 6,450,000 to 11,550,000, (b) increase the number of shares issuable thereunder in the form of awards other than stock options from 6,150,000 to 11,250,000, and (c) eliminate the ability of the Compensation & HR Committee to make awards under the 2005 Plan transferable; (iii) approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder from 2,693,750 to 4,193,750; and (iv) ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Because many of our stockholders are unable to personally attend the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors solicits the enclosed proxy so that each stockholder is given an opportunity to vote.  This proxy enables each stockholder to vote on all matters which are scheduled to come before the meeting.  When the proxy card is returned properly executed, the stockholder’s shares will be voted according to the stockholder’s directions.  Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed proxy card.  If no choice has been specified, the shares will be voted (i) FOR the election of the Director−nominees listed below, (ii) FOR the amendment of the 2005 Plan, (iii) FOR the amendment of the ESPP, and (iv) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm.  Proxies marked as abstaining (including proxies containing broker non−votes) on any matter to be acted upon by the stockholders will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on such matters.

The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting.  If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

A proxy may be revoked by giving the Secretary of ANADIGICS written notice of revocation at any time before the voting of the shares represented by the proxy.  A stockholder who attends the meeting may cancel a proxy at the meeting.  Votes will be counted as the majority of the total votes specifically received/voted on each proposal.

ANNUAL MEETING QUORUM REQUIREMENTS

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), entitled to vote (exclusive of shares held by or for the account of the Company) is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Abstentions and broker non−votes shall be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.  Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on April 2, 2008, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

As of April 2, 2008 the Company had issued and outstanding approximately 62,576,651 shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote upon each matter to be voted upon.

Principal Stockholders and Share Ownership by Management and Directors

PROPOSAL I:  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s by-laws provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III with each class consisting as nearly as possible of one third of the total number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors; provided, however, that in no case will a decrease in the number of Directors shorten the term of any incumbent Director.  The Board of Directors is presently comprised of eight members each of whom is independent within the NASDAQ listing standards except for Ronald Rosenzweig and Dr. Bami Bastani.

INFORMATION REGARDING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION

BOARD MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE

During fiscal 2007, the Board of Directors met 8 times.  The non−employee Directors meet on a regular basis in executive sessions without management present.  The Chairperson of the Governance and Nominating Committee presides at the executive sessions.  Each of the Directors attended at least 90 % of the aggregate of all meetings held by the Board and the committees on which he served.  Although there is no policy requiring Board members to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all Board members are invited and encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Last year, four Directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The standing committees of the ANADIGICS Board of Directors are as follows:

The Governance and Nominating Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to (i) assist the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become Directors and to recommend to the Board of Directors the director nominees; (ii) recommend members of the Board of Directors to serve on the committees of the Board of Directors; (iii) recommend to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to be elected as officers of the Company; (iv) recommend to the Board of Directors the corporate governance and business ethics policies, principles, guidelines, and codes of conduct applicable to the Company; and (v) lead the Board of Directors in its annual review of the Board’s performance.  During fiscal 2007, the Governance and Nominating Committee was comprised of two Directors, Messrs. Strigl (Chair) and Solomon, each of whom is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards, and operates under a written charter posted on the Company’s website at www.anadigics.com.  The Governance and Nominating Committee met 1 time during the 2007 fiscal year.

The Audit Committee is a separately designated standing committee of the Board of Directors established in accordance with applicable securities laws.  The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors and is responsible for (i) determining the adequacy of the Company’s internal accounting and financial controls, (ii) reviewing the results of the audit of the Company performed by the independent public accountants, and (iii) recommending the selection of independent public accountants.  Messrs. Bachow (Chair), Fellows and Rein were members of the Audit Committee during fiscal 2007 and are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards.  The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Bachow, is an audit committee financial expert as described in Item 401(h) of Regulation S−K.  The Audit Committee met 6times during the 2007 fiscal year.  Mr. Bachow’s qualifications as an audit committee financial expert are set forth in his profile as Director set forth above.

The Compensation & HR Committee determines matters pertaining to the compensation of certain executive officers of the Company and administers the Company’s stock option, incentive compensation, and employee stock purchase plans.  Messrs. Solomon (Chair) and Strigl, who are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards, were members of the Compensation & HR Committee during fiscal 2007, which met 4 times during the 2007 fiscal year.

The Executive Committee has authority to act for the Board on most matters during intervals between Board meetings.  Messrs. Rein (Chair), Bachow and Rosenzweig were members of the Executive Committee during fiscal 2007.  The Executive Committee met 4 times during the 2007 fiscal year.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The members of the Compensation & HR Committee in 2007 were Messrs. Solomon and Strigl; Mr. Delfassy was appointed to the Compensation and HR committee on March 27, 2008.  None of the Compensation and HR Committee members are employees of the Company and all of whom are considered "independent" Directors under the applicable NASDAQ rules. There were no interlocks or insider participation between any member of the Board of Directors or the Compensation & HR Committee and any member of the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of another company.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION

In its assessment of each potential nominee, the Governance and Nominating Committee will review the nominee’s integrity, independence, intelligence and understanding of the Company’s or other related industries and such other factors as the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board of Directors.  The Governance and Nominating Committee will also take into account the ability of a potential nominee to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the Company.

When seeking to identify nominees for membership on the Board of Directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent Directors, management, stockholders or others.  While the Governance and Nominating Committee has the authority to retain any search firm for this purpose, no such firm was utilized in 2007.  After conducting an initial evaluation of a potential nominee, the Governance and Nominating Committee will interview that nominee if it believes such nominee may be a suitable Director.  The Committee may also ask the potential nominee to meet with management.  If the Governance and Nominating Committee believes a potential nominee would be a valuable addition to the Board of Directors, it will recommend that nominee’s election to the full Board of Directors.

Pursuant to its charter, the Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees for membership on the Board of Directors recommended by stockholders of the Company and submitted in accordance with the Company’s by−laws to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, NJ 07059.  The Company did not receive any nominations for membership on its Board of Directors from stockholders in connection with the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has adopted procedures that provide security holders of the Company and other interested parties may communicate with one or more of the Company’s Directors by mail, care of the Secretary, 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059.  Such communications should specify the intended recipient or recipients.  All such communications, other than unsolicited commercial solicitations or communications, will be forwarded to the appropriate Director or Directors for review.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics that applies to Directors, officers and employees, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer and has posted such code on its website at (www.anadigics.com).  Changes to and waivers granted with respect to the Company’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations will be filed on a current report on Form 8-K and posted on the Company website.

PROPOSAL II:  AMEND THE 2005 LONG TERM INCENTIVE AND SHARE AWARD PLAN

On April 6, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the 2005 Plan, subject to stockholder approval which was granted on May 19, 2005.  The 2005 Plan replaced the Company’s 1995 Plan which terminated on February 28, 2005.   The 2005 Plan was amended and restated at the 2006 Annual Meeting on May 18, 2006, to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder from 2,700,000 to 5,450,000 and at the 2007 Annual Meeting on May 17, 2007, to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder from 5,450,000 to 6,450,000.  The Board of Directors believes that the growth and profitability of the Company depend in large part on its ability to maintain a competitive position in the industry by attracting, retaining and motivating key employees with experience and ability.  ANADIGICS believes that its stock-based compensation programs are important to its achieving this objective.

The Company is currently authorized to issue up to a maximum of 6,450,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to its 2005 Plan, subject to anti-dilution adjustments; provided that the maximum number of shares available to be issued in the form of awards other than stock options not exceed 6,150,000 shares.  As of April 2, 2008, there were approximately 44,826 shares remaining available for future award under the 2005 Plan. The Company anticipates that the number of shares currently available under the 2005 Plan is insufficient to meet the Company’s needs, thereby impairing its ability to attract and retain key employees.  Accordingly, on March 27, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the 2005 Plan that (i) increased the maximum number of shares available for grants from 6,450,000 shares to 11,550,000 shares and the number of such shares available to be issued in the form of awards other than stock options, from 6,150,000 shares to 11,250,000 shares, subject to anti-dilution in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan and (ii) eliminated the ability of the Compensation and HR Committee to make awards under the 2005 Plan transferable.

The following describes the material terms of the 2005 Plan.  This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2005 Plan as amended which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

PURPOSE

The 2005 Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing a means to attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants, and Directors of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, to provide for competitive compensation opportunities, to encourage long-term service, to recognize individual contributions and reward achievement of performance goals, and to promote the creation of long term value for stockholders by aligning the interests of such persons with those of stockholders.

BURN-RATE COMMITMENT

In order to facilitate approval of this proposal and assuage any stockholder concerns regarding the number of awards we intend to grant in a given year, our Board of Directors commits to our stockholders that for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, we will not grant during such three fiscal years a number of shares subject to options or other awards to employees such that the average number of shares granted during such fiscal years exceed 4.5% of the total number of shares of ANADIGICS outstanding.  For purposes of calculating the number of shares granted in a year, stock and restricted stock will count as equivalent to (i) 1.5 option shares if our annual stock price volatility is 54.6% or higher, (ii) two option shares if our annual stock price volatility is between 36.1% and 54.6%, and (iii) two and one-half option shares if our annual stock price volatility is between 24.0% and 36.1%.

ADMINISTRATION

The 2005 Plan will be administered by the Compensation & HR Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors or such other Board committee (which may include the entire Board) as may be designated by the Board.  However, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall consist of two or more Directors of the Company, each of whom is a “non−employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b−3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, and each of whom is an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent applicable.

The Committee shall have full and final authority to take the following actions, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of the 2005 Plan, including, without limitation: (i) select eligible persons to whom awards may be granted; (ii) designate affiliates; (iii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each eligible person; (iv) determine the type and number of awards to be granted, the number of shares to which an award may relate, the terms and conditions of any award granted under the 2005 Plan; and (v) make all other decisions and determinations as may be required under the terms of the 2005 Plan or as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2005 Plan.  The Committee may delegate to other members of the Board or officers or managers of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform administrative functions and, with respect to awards granted to persons not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to perform such other functions as the Committee may determine, to the extent permitted under Rule 16b−3 (if applicable) and applicable law.

SHARES AVAILABLE

Under the 2005 Plan, the number of shares that may be made subject to awards under the 2005 Plan currently may not exceed 6,450,000 shares, provided that the total amount of shares that may be issued for awards of stock or stock units, including awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units and awards of stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) may not exceed an aggregate of 6,150,000 shares.  The proposed amendments to the 2005 Plan would increase the numbers of shares in the preceding sentence to 11,550,000 and 11,250,000, respectively.  In addition, during a calendar year (i) the maximum number of shares with respect to which options and SARs may be granted to a participant under the 2005 Plan will be 500,000 shares, and (ii) the maximum number of shares which may be granted to a participant under the 2005 Plan with respect to awards intended to qualify as performance−based compensation under the Internal Revenue Code (other than options and SARs) will be 500,000 shares.  These share amounts are subject to anti−dilution adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capital structure, as provided in the 2005 Plan.  Shares to be delivered under the 2005 Plan may be either authorized, but unissued, shares of Common Stock or treasury shares.

Shares covered by the unexercised or undistributed portion of any terminated, expired or forfeited award made under the 2005 Plan will be available for further awards under the 2005 Plan.  No awards may be made under the 2005 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date that it is approved by the Board.

AWARDS

Awards may be granted to employees, consultants, and Directors of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates on the terms and conditions set forth in the 2005 Plan.  The following types of awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan:

Stock Options.  Stock options may be non−qualified stock options or incentive stock options that comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Only employees of the Company or a subsidiary may be granted incentive stock options.  The exercise price for any stock option will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but exercise price per share shall not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant of the option.  The 2005 Plan limits the term of any stock option to ten years from the date of grant of the option.  The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter the time or times at which an stock option may be exercised in whole or in part.

Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee may grant SARs to eligible persons independently of any stock option or in tandem with all or any part of a stock option granted under the 2005 Plan.  Upon exercise, each SAR entitles a participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (ii) the exercise price per share of Common Stock of the SAR as determined by the Committee on the date the SAR is granted.  The exercise price of a SAR will not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.  The SARs may be settled in shares of Common Stock or in cash, as determined by the Committee.

Restricted Shares.  The Committee may grant restricted shares to eligible persons that may not be sold or otherwise disposed of, and are subject to forfeiture, during a restricted period as determined by the Committee except as otherwise provided by the Committee.  During the applicable restricted period, restricted stock may be voted by the recipient and the recipient will be entitled to receive dividends thereon.

Restricted Share Units.  The Committee may grant restricted share units to eligible persons.  Such restricted share units may be subject to restrictions as determined by the Committee at the date of grant.  An award of a restricted share unit is an award of the right to receive a share of Common Stock or cash after expiration of the restricted period determined by the Committee.  The recipient of a restricted share unit shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalents thereon, as determined by the Committee.

Performance Shares and Performance Units.  Performance shares and performance units are awards of a fixed or variable number of shares or of dollar−denominated units that are earned by achievement of performance goals in the performance period established by the Committee.  If the applicable performance criteria are met, the shares are earned and become unrestricted with respect to performance shares or an amount is payable with respect to performance units.  Amounts earned under performance shares or performance units originally awarded may be paid in shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of both.

Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee is authorized to grant dividend equivalents to eligible persons.  The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that dividend equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares, or other investment vehicles, as the Committee may specify.

Other Share−Based Awards.  The Committee may grant other types of awards which may be based in whole or in part by reference to shares of Common Stock or upon the achievement of performance goals on such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe.

PERFORMANCE AWARDS

The Committee determines if an award of restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance units or other share−based awards should qualify under the performance−based compensation exception to the $1,000,000 cap on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.   The grant, vesting, exercise and/or settlement of any such awards shall be contingent upon achievement of pre−established performance goals based on one or more of the following business criteria for the Company and/or for specified subsidiaries or affiliates or other business units or lines of business of the Company: (1) earnings per share (basic or fully diluted); (2) revenues; (3) earnings, before or after taxes, from operations (generally or specified operations), or before or after interest expense, depreciation, amortization, incentives, or extraordinary or special items; (4) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (5) return on net assets, return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on equity; (6) economic value added; (7) operating margin or operating expense; (8) net income; (9) share price or total stockholder return; and (10) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, customer satisfaction, supervision of litigation and information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures.  The targeted level or levels of performance with respect to such business criteria may be established at such levels and in such terms as the Committee may determine, in its discretion, including in absolute terms, as a goal relative to performance in prior periods, or as a goal compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies.  The maximum amount payable upon settlement of cash−settled performance units or other cash−settled awards granted under the 2005 Plan for any calendar year to any participant that is intended to satisfy the requirements of performance−based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code shall not exceed $1,000,000.

NONTRANSFERABILITY

Unless otherwise set forth by the Committee in an award agreement, awards shall not be transferable by an eligible person except by will or the laws of descent and distribution (except pursuant to a beneficiary designation) and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of an eligible person only by such eligible person or his guardian or legal representative.   The proposed amendment to the 2005 Plan would eliminate the ability of the Committee to make awards under the 2005 Plan transferable by deleting the following language from Section 6 (d) thereof:  “Unless otherwise set forth by the Committee in an Award Agreement,”.

AMENDMENT

The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2005 Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant awards under the 2005 Plan without the consent of stockholders of the Company or participants, except that any such amendment or alteration shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders (i) to the extent such stockholder approval is required under the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares may then be listed or quoted, or (ii) as it applies to incentive stock awards, to the extent such stockholder approval is required under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of the 2005 Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such participant under any award theretofore granted to him or her.  The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any award theretofore granted, prospectively or retrospectively; provided, however, that, without the consent of a participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of any award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such participant under any award theretofore granted to him or her.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Federal Income Tax Consequences.  The following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences of the 2005 Plan, based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and does not address the consequences under any state, local or foreign tax laws.

STOCK OPTIONS

In general, the grant of an option will not be a taxable event to the recipient and it will not result in a deduction to the Company.  The tax consequences associated with the exercise of an option and the subsequent disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired on the exercise of such option depend on whether the option is a nonqualified stock option or an incentive stock option.

Upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary taxable income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise over the exercise price.  The Company will generally be able to claim a deduction in an equivalent amount.  Any gain or loss upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock will be capital gain or loss, long−term or short−term, depending on the holding period for the shares of Common Stock.

Generally, a participant will not recognize ordinary taxable income at the time of exercise of an incentive stock option and no deduction will be available to the Company, provided the option is exercised while the participant is an employee or within three months following termination of employment (longer, in the case of disability or death).  If an incentive stock option granted under the 2005 Plan is exercised after these periods, the exercise will be treated for federal income tax purposes as the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.  Also, an incentive stock option granted under the 2005 Plan will be treated as a nonqualified stock option to the extent it (together with other incentive stock options granted to the participant by the Company) first becomes exercisable in any calendar year for shares of Common Stock having a fair market value, determined as of the date of grant, in excess of $100,000.

If shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or exchanged more than one year after the date of exercise and more than two years after the date of grant of the option, any gain or loss will be long−term capital gain or loss.  The Company cannot deduct any amount taxable to an employee in such case.  If shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of these one−year or two−year holding periods (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of disposition, and the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the date of exercise over the exercise price.  Any additional gain will be treated as capital gain, long−term or short−term, depending on how long the shares of Common Stock have been held.  Where shares of Common Stock are sold or exchanged in a Disqualifying Disposition (other than certain related party transactions) for an amount less than their fair market value at the date of exercise, any ordinary income recognized in connection with the Disqualifying Disposition will be limited to the amount of gain, if any, recognized in the sale or exchange, and any loss will be a long−term or short−term capital loss, depending on how long the shares of Common Stock have been held.

If an option is exercised through the use of shares of Common Stock previously owned by the participant, such exercise generally will not be considered a taxable disposition of the previously owned shares and, thus, no gain or loss will be recognized with respect to such previously owned shares upon such exercise.  The amount of any built−in gain on the previously owned shares generally will not be recognized until the new shares acquired on the option exercise are disposed of in a sale or other taxable transaction.

Although the exercise of an incentive stock option as described above would not produce ordinary taxable income to the participant, it would result in an increase in the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability.

RESTRICTED SHARES

A participant who receives restricted shares will generally recognize ordinary income at the time that they “vest”, i.e., when they are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.  The amount of ordinary income so recognized will generally be the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the shares vest, less the amount, if any, paid for the shares.  This amount is generally deductible for federal income tax purposes by the Company.  Dividends paid with respect to Common Stock that is non−vested will be ordinary compensation income to the participant (and generally deductible by the Company).  Any gain or loss upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock, measured by the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the shares vest, will be capital gain or loss, long−term or short−term, depending on the holding period for the shares of Common Stock.  The holding period for this purpose will begin on the date following the date the shares vest.

In lieu of the treatment described above, a participant may elect immediate recognition of income under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.  In such event, the participant will recognize as income the fair market value of the restricted shares at the time of grant (determined without regard to any restrictions other than restrictions which by their terms will never lapse), and the Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding deduction.  Dividends paid with respect to shares as to which a proper Section 83(b) election has been made will not be deductible to the Company.  If a Section 83(b) election is made and the restricted shares are subsequently forfeited, the participant will not be entitled to any offsetting tax deduction.

SARS AND OTHER AWARDS

With respect to SARs, restricted share units, performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents and other awards under the 2005 Plan not described above, generally, when a participant receives payment with respect to any such award granted to him or her under the 2005 Plan, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any other property received will be ordinary income to such participant and will be allowed as a deduction for federal income tax purposes to the Company.

PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING TAXES

The Company may withhold, or require a participant to remit to it, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements associated with awards under the 2005 Plan.

DEDUCTIBILITY LIMIT ON COMPENSATION IN EXCESS OF $1 MILLION

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the deductible amount of annual compensation paid (including, unless an exception applies, compensation otherwise deductible in connection with awards granted under the 2005 Plan) by a public company to each “covered employee” (i.e., the chief executive officer and three other most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal financial Officer of the Company) to no more than $1 million.  The Company currently intends to structure stock options granted under the 2005 Plan to comply with an exception to nondeductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

OTHER

Approval of the Amendment to the 2005 Plan, requires the receipt of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to amend the 2005 Plan.

PROPOSAL III:  AMEND THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company has amended and restated the ANADIGICS, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan"), subject to stockholder approval at the 2008 Annual Meeting, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by 1,500,000 to 4,193,750.    The plan was previously amended and restated at the 2005 Annual Meeting on May 19, 2005, to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder by 1,000,000 to 2,693,750 and extend the plan through December 31, 2014.  The following describes the material terms of the Stock Purchase Plan.  This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Plan as amended, which is attached hereto as Appendix B.

The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to give employees of the Company and its subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through payroll deductions, thereby encouraging employees to share in the economic growth and success of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Stock Purchase Plan is administered by the Compensation & HR Committee.

In general, any person who has been an employee for at least one month on a given enrollment date (generally each January 1) who is scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week on a regular basis is eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. Common Stock will be purchased for each participant in the Stock Purchase Plan as of the last day of each Offering Period (generally December 31) with the money deducted from their paychecks during the Offering Period. The purchase price per share of Common Stock will be either (i) an amount equal to 90% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the first day of the Offering Period or on the last day of the Offering Period, whichever is lower, or (ii) such higher price as may be set by the Compensation & HR Committee at the beginning of the Offering Period.

A participant may elect to have payroll deductions made under the Stock Purchase Plan for the purchase of Common Stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of 15% of the participant's compensation or $25,000 the (limit imposed by Section 423(b)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).  Compensation for purposes of the Stock Purchase Plan means the gross amount of the participant's base pay on the basis of the participant's regular, straight-time hourly, weekly or monthly rate for the number of hours normally worked, exclusive of overtime, bonuses, shift premiums or other compensation. Contributions to the Stock Purchase Plan will be on an after-tax basis. A participant may terminate his or her payroll deductions at any time.

A stock purchase bookkeeping account will be established for each participant in the Stock Purchase Plan. Amounts deducted from participants' paychecks will be credited to their bookkeeping accounts. No interest will accrue with respect to any amounts credited to the bookkeeping accounts. As of the last day of each Offering Period, the amount credited to a participant's stock purchase account will be used to purchase the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock possible at the price as determined above in relation to the amount of valuation expense the Company has reserved. The Common Stock will be purchased directly from the Company. No brokerage or other fees will be charged to participants. Any balance remaining in the participant's account will be returned to the participant.

A participant may withdraw from participation in the Stock Purchase Plan at any time during an Offering Period by written notice to the Company. Upon withdrawal, a participant's bookkeeping account balance will be distributed as soon as practicable and no shares of Common Stock will be purchased. Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan are exercisable only by the participant and are not transferable, except by the laws of descent and distribution.

The Board of Directors of the Company may amend, suspend, or terminate the Stock Purchase Plan at any time, except that certain amendments may be made only with the approval of the shareholders of the Company. Subject to earlier termination by the Board of Directors, the Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on December 31, 2014. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation & HR Committee, any unexpired Offering Period that commenced prior to any termination date of the Stock Purchase Plan shall continue until the last day of such Offering Period.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain of the federal income tax consequences to participants in the Stock Purchase Plan and to the Company, based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations and rulings thereunder, and does not address the consequences under state or local or any other applicable tax laws.

Participants in the Stock Purchase Plan will not recognize income at the time a purchase right is granted to them at the beginning of an Offering Period or when they purchase Common Stock at the end of the Offering Period.  However, participants will be taxed on amounts withheld from their salary under the Stock Purchase Plan as if actually received, and the Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction.

If a participant disposes of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan after one year from the end of the applicable Offering Period and two years from the beginning of the applicable Offering Period, the participant must include in gross income as compensation (as ordinary income and not as capital gain) for the taxable year of disposition an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning of the applicable Offering Period over the purchase price computed on the first day of the Offering Period or (b) the excess of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares at the time of disposition over their purchase price. Thus, if the one and two year holding periods described above are met, a participant's ordinary compensation income will be limited to the discount available to the participant on the first day of the applicable Offering Period. If the amount recognized upon such a disposition by way of sale or exchange of the Common Stock exceeds the purchase price plus the amount, if any, included in income as ordinary compensation income, such excess will be long-term capital gain. If the one and two year holding periods described above are met, the Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction.

If a participant disposes of Common Stock within one year from the end of the applicable Offering Period or two years from the beginning of the Offering Period, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of disposition which will equal the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the participant purchased the Common Stock (i.e., the end of the applicable Offering Period) over the amount paid for the Common Stock. The Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction.  The excess, if any, of the amount recognized on disposition of such Common Stock over their fair market value on the date of purchase (i.e., the end of the applicable Offering Period) will be short-term capital gain, unless the participant's holding period for the Common Stock (which will begin at the time of the participant's purchase at the end of the Offering Period) is more than one year. If the participant disposes of the Common Stock for less than the purchase price for the shares, the difference between the amount recognized and such purchase price will be a long- or short-term capital loss, depending upon the participant's holding period for the Common Stock.

New Plan Benefits

Participation in the Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary. Accordingly, at this time the Company cannot determine the amount of shares of Common Stock that will be acquired by participants or the dollar value of any such participation.

Other

The amendment and restatement of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

PROPOSAL IV: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has retained Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2008.  Although stockholder ratification is not required by the Company’s bylaws or under any other applicable legal requirement, the Audit Committee is asking the stockholders for ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as a matter of good corporate governance.  If the stockholders do not ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will take such determination into account in its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.  Ernst & Young LLP will have a representative present at the Annual Meeting who will have the opportunity to make a statement if he desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2008.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE−APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Audit Committee’s policy provides that the Company’s independent registered public accountants may provide only those services pre−approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee.  The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre−approves the audit, review, attest and permitted non−audit services to be provided during the next audit cycle by the independent accountants.  To the extent practicable, at the same meeting the Audit Committee also reviews and approves a budget for each of such services.  The term of any such pre−approval is for the period of the annual audit cycle, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period.

Services proposed to be provided by the independent accountants that have not been pre−approved during the annual review and the fees for such proposed services must be pre−approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee.  Additionally, fees for previously approved services that are expected to exceed the previously approved budget must also be pre−approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee.

All requests or applications for the independent accountants to provide services to the Company must be submitted to the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee by the independent accountants and the Chief Financial Officer and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to auditor independence.  In the event that any representative of the Company or the independent accountants becomes aware that any services are being, or have been, provided by the independent accountants to the Company without the requisite pre−approval, such individual must immediately notify the Chief Financial Officer, who must promptly notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee and appropriate senior management so that prompt action may be taken to the extent deemed necessary or advisable.

The Audit Committee may form and delegate to a subcommittee, composed of one or more of its members, the authority to grant specific pre−approvals under its policy with respect to audit, review, attest and permitted non−audit services, provided that any such grant of pre−approval shall be reported to the full Audit Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting.  The Audit Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre−approve services performed by the audit firm to management.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and auditors during fiscal year 2007 was Ernst & Young LLP and in fiscal year 2006 was J.H. Cohn LLP.

The Audit Committee selected Ernst & Young LLP to replace J.H. Cohn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective June 4, 2007, resulting from the Company’s requirement for an international independent accounting firm in light of the Company’s growth and expansion internationally.  The audit reports of J.H. Cohn LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R) in 2006.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and in the subsequent interim period through June 4, 2007, there were:  (i) no disagreements, as that term is defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, between the Company and J.H. Cohn LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of J.H. Cohn LLP would have cause J.H. Cohn LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and in the subsequent interim period through June 4, 2007, the Company did not consult with Ernst & Young LLP regarding either:  (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither was a written report nor oral advice provided to the Company that Ernst & Young LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in paragraph 304(a)(l)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as that term is defined in paragraph 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The aggregate fees billed by the Company’s principal independent registered public accounting firm and auditors for professional services rendered to the Company for the two fiscal years ending December 31, 2007 were as follows:

Fee Category	Fiscal Year 2007		% of Total			Fiscal Year 2006*		% of Total
Audit Fees	$	630,000				$	921,219		100	%
Audit−Related Fees (1)		−		−			−		−
Tax Fees (2)	$	50,000		−			−		−
All Other Fees (3)	$	1,500		−			−		−
Total Fees	$	681,500		100	%	$	921,219		100	%

(1)   Audit Related Fees:  The Company incurred no audit related fees during its 2006 and 2007 fiscal years.

(2)   Tax Fees:  Aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered during 2006 and 2007 related to domestic tax assistance.

(3)   All Other Fees:  Aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered during 2007 related to license for accounting research software.

*           While Ernst & Young was not the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and auditor in 2006, the aggregate fees billed by them for consent procedures related to the Company’s equity issuance, tax returns, and other fees were $85,000, $50,000 and $1,500, respectively.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether provision of the services described above is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accountant’s independence and has determined that such services have not adversely affected Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee, among other things, assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process and monitors the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the independence and performance of the Company’s auditors.  In this context, we have reviewed and discussed the Company’s financial statements with Company management and the independent auditors, Ernst & Young’s LLP, including matters raised by the independent auditors pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).  The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed such other matters as we deemed appropriate.

The Company’s independent auditors provided the Audit Committee with written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committees), and we discussed Ernst & Young’s LLP’s independence with them.

We have considered whether the provision of services by Ernst & Young’s LLP not related to the audit of the Company’s financial statements and to the review of the Company’s interim financial statements is compatible with maintaining the independent accountant’s independence and have determined that such services have not adversely affected Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, and relying on the representation of Company management and the independent auditor’s report to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10−K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry with short product cycles.  The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation programs and plans are to allow the Company to attract, develop, motivate, retain, and reward top quality executive management who are capable of driving the Company’s success and industry leadership.  The Company seeks to achieve these objectives through a compensation philosophy that provides employees with competitive cash and stock compensation tied both to near-term and long-term individual and Company performance as well as to the creation of shareholder value.

The Board of Directors’ Compensation and HR Committee has the responsibility to (a) ensure that a proper system of long-term and short-term compensation is in place to provide performance-oriented incentives to management, and that compensation plans are appropriate and competitive and properly reflect the objectives and performance of management and the Company; (b) discharge the Board responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s executive officers including reviewing the competitiveness of executive compensation programs, evaluating the performance of the Company’s executive officers, and approving their annual compensation and short and long-term equity awards; (c) evaluate the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and set his or her remuneration package; and (d) make recommendations to the Board with respect to incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans.

The Board of Directors’ Compensation and HR Committee operates under a written charter, which is available in the “Sarbanes-Oxley Documents” section of our website at www.anadigics.com, or by calling our Investor Relations Department at (908) 668-5000 ext. 5330, or by writing us at ANADIGICS, Inc. 141 Mt. Bethel Drive, Warren, New Jersey 07159, Attn: Investor Relations.  

The Compensation and HR Committee seeks to set our executives’ aggregate compensation, including salary, short-term and long-term incentives, at levels competitive with our peer group in the semiconductor industry. Many of these companies are included in the S&P 500 Semiconductor Index used in the performance graph appearing in this proxy statement. In addition, because we sometimes compete for executive talent with companies outside of those companies included in the S&P 500 Semiconductor Index, companies outside this index are selected for inclusion in our peer group based on several criteria, including Analog & RF semiconductor companies, size, growth rates, similar financial performance, industry leadership status, innovation, and the extent to which they compete with us for executive talent.

In designing and administering the executive compensation program, the Compensation and HR Committee strives to balance short/long-term incentive objectives and use prudent judgment in establishing performance criteria, evaluating performance and determining actual incentive awards.  

In developing our compensation programs and policies, the Compensation and HR Committee utilizes information obtained from surveys such as the AON/Radford Executive Compensation Survey, proxy statements, and information gathered directly from certain of the companies that comprise our peer group. The Compensation and HR Committee has also engaged outside compensation consultants and other advisers on a retainer basis.

An important element of the Compensation and HR Committee’s determinations involves competitive benchmarking. Each year, the Company participates in compensation and pay practice surveys of our semiconductor peer companies in order to assess the competitiveness of our compensation practices. For fiscal 2007, we targeted the aggregate value of our total compensation at approximately the median of our semiconductor peer companies. We strongly believe that it is essential to the long-term success of the Company to engage the best executive talent.

Overall we believe our compensation programs, as structured, are at market relative to our RF semiconductor peers. Based upon review of our compensation programs, those of our RF analog semiconductor peers, and our assessment of individual and corporate performance, we believe that the value and design of our executive compensation programs are appropriate.

The core competency of the Company is analog radio frequency. This competency represents a small and unique expertise within the semiconductor industry. Analog radio frequency expertise is quite different from digital expertise which represents the vast majority of the semiconductor field. The Company believes that due to the unique nature of the analog radio frequency expertise required in its business that total compensation should be benchmarked at the 75th percentile of the compensation surveys and data.

Components of Compensation

The components of the compensation program for named executive officers are described below.

Base Salary:   Base salaries are determined based on a variety of factors, including the executive’s scope of responsibilities, a competitive market assessment of compensation for similar roles at other semiconductor companies, and a comparison of salaries paid to peers within the Company. Base salaries are currently at levels that approximate the 75th percentile based on semiconductor industry surveys and are adjusted annually. These compensation levels allow the Company to attract and retain superior leaders that the Company believes will allow it to deliver on its business goals.

The CEO recommends base salaries for each other executive. When setting the base salaries for executives other than the CEO, the Compensation and HR Committee considers recommendations from the CEO and makes a final determination based on the factors listed above and such executive’s performance during the year. The Compensation and HR Committee makes an independent compensation determination for the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO.

Short-Term Incentives:  Short-term incentives are “results oriented”. These incentives are discretionary and the process is reviewed annually by the Compensation and HR Committee.  Short-term cash and/or equity incentives, if any, are provided on a semi-annual basis to motivate employees and increase shareholder value. The payment of short-term incentives is based on our financial results and the individual executive’s performance as measured against the achievement of strategic or operational goals established by management and the Compensation and HR Committee prior to the commencement of the relevant measurement period. In order to implement its philosophy that executives be rewarded for achieving positive financial results and other strategic goals, the Compensation and HR Committee has designed the short-term incentive plan to significantly affect the total compensation of our executives depending on our success in meeting semi-annual financial and strategic goals. The Compensation and HR Committee has the authority to make any changes it deems necessary in the semi-annual short-term incentives provided to our executives.

The short-term incentive plan is applicable to all our employees, including our Executive Officers and our CEO.The Executive Officers, other than Mr. Rosenzweig, are eligible for short-term incentives based upon 110% of their base salary calculated on a semi-annual basis.  The Company’s Vice Presidents who are not Executive Officers are eligible for short-tem incentives based upon 70% or 90% of their base salary, based on their position, calculated on a semi-annual basis.

The short-tem incentive plan financial goals are established by the Compensation and HR Committee based upon the Company’s semi-annual financial plan which is approved by the Board of Directors.  In 2007, the Board met in January and August and approved the Company’s semi-annual financial plan.   The Compensation and HR Committee has selected financial goals consisting of revenue, and earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP measure for the short-term incentive plans. The award of short-term incentives for the CEO and CFO are tied specifically to the achievement of revenue and EBITDA targets and are weighted at 50%, respectively.   The award of short-term incentives for our other most highly compensated executives is weighted for revenue at 45%, EBITDA at 45%, and strategic or operational requirements at 10%.

The determination of whether a short-term incentive has been earned and will be paid for a semi-annual period is based upon whether the specific financial goal has been achieved.  If 100% of the financial goal has been met, then the executive officer will be paid an amount equal to 100% of such officer’s eligible short-term incentive attributable to the achievement of such financial goal.  Each financial goal has a minimum achievement threshold of 50% of the target financial goal, below which the executive officer will not receive any of such officer’s eligible short-term incentive attributable to the achievement of such financial goal.  In addition, each financial goal has a maximum achievement threshold of 150% of the target financial goal, above which the executive officer will not receive any additional eligible short-term incentive attributable to the achievement of such financial goal; provided, however, that the total payment of short-term incentives to an executive officer for a particular interim period shall in no case exceed 120% of the aggregate eligible short-term incentive payable to such executive officer for such period, unless such additional payments are approved by the Compensation and HR Committee.

For example, assume the financial goals were as follows:

Semi-Annual Goals		50	%		100	%		150	%
Company Revenues	$90 million			$100 million			$110 million
Company EBITDA	$5 million			$10 million			$15 million

Assume the Company achieved revenue of $100 million, and EBITDA of $5 million in such semi-annual period. Based on such achievements, the short-term incentives payable to the CEO and CFO for such semi-annual period would be as follows:

Revenue based payments = 100% achievement times weighting of 50% (for CEO and CFO) = 50%

EBITDA based payments = 50% achievement times weighting of 50% (for CEO and CFO) = 25%

As a result, the total short-term incentive payments payable to the CEO and CFO for such semi-annual period would be equal to 75% of the aggregate eligible short-term incentive payments payable to such executive officers for such period.

Since 2005, the Company has used restricted stock with one-year vesting periods to fund the semi-annual short-term incentives. This has allowed the Company to conserve cash to fund its growth, as well as better align the short term incentive payout with the shareholder value created in the following year. The Company may return to cash payments for the semi-annual (short-term) incentives as deemed appropriate by the Compensation and HR Committee.

The Human Resources Department in conjunction with the Company’s finance department calculates the short-term incentive payments payable to executive officers based on the achievement of the semi-annual short-term incentive targets and specific strategic or operational goals. In 2007, the Compensation and HR Committee determined that the semi-annual incentive distribution was to be principally made in restricted stock. The semi-annual equity awards payable to the Company’s executive officers were approved by the Compensation and HR Committee in meetings held in July 2007 and January 2008, respectively.

Following each semi-annual period, the CEO makes recommendations for short-term incentive payments for each executive officer, excluding the CEO. The Compensation and HR Committee considers recommendations from the CEO and makes a final determination based on the results achieved for the executive officers other than the CEO. The Compensation and HR Committee, in a closed door session, decides on the short-term incentive award payable to the CEO.

It is the Company’s policy that each of the named executive officers and other eligible employees receive information on their individual compensation components, the corresponding measures, and information on how each plan or program works. This information is provided periodically by the Company’s HR Department.

For the 2008 short-term incentive plan, the Compensation and HR Committee has selected financial goals related to revenue, earnings per share (excluding non-cash stock compensation expense) and cash flow from operations. The award of short-term incentives for the CEO and CFO in 2008 are weighted such that the achievement of goals related to revenue, earnings per share (excluding non-cash stock compensation expense) and cash flow from operations account for 45%, 45% and 10%, respectively, of such awards.  The award of short-term incentives for our other most highly compensated executives is weighted such that the achievement of goals related to revenue, earnings per share (excluding non-cash stock compensation expense), cash flow from operations and strategic or operational requirements account for 40%, 40%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of such awards.  

Long-Term Incentives: Long-term equity incentives, including stock options, restricted stock, and stock purchase rights granted pursuant to our equity compensation and stock purchase plans, directly align the interests of our stockholders and the economic interests of our executive officers and other eligible employees. Stock options and restricted stock are both strong incentives because they encourage employees to work to increase the Company’s stock price. Recipients of stock option grants realize value only if the fair market value of our common stock increases above the exercise price of such options, which is set at the fair market value of our common stock on the date such option is granted. The fair market value of restricted stock is based on the closing price on date of grant.  In addition, employees must remain employed with us for a fixed period of time in order for the options or restricted stock to fully vest. Options and/or restricted stock are granted to employees and executives following a yearly review of individual performance and consideration of the individual’s long-term value to the Company.  Stock options generally vest over a period of three years with one-third vesting on the anniversary of the first full year of each grant and quarterly vesting in the remaining two years.  Restricted stock generally vest over a period of three years with one-third vesting at the end of each twelve-month period commencing with the date of grant.

The Company believes that it is important to find an appropriate balance between our need to provide effective equity incentives to our employees on the one hand, and the potential resulting dilution to our stockholders and the accounting and administrative impact of issuing such awards due to recent changes in the equity compensation accounting rules, including the adoption of SFAS 123(R), which became effective for us on January 1, 2006 on the other hand. In particular, we he have determined that we require additional flexibility in our use of full-value awards under the shareholder approved 2005 Plan.  When an award has a per share exercise or purchase price lower than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, we refer to it as a “full-value award”.

Move to Full-Value Restricted Stock Awards in Lieu of Options. Motivated in part by our adoption of SFAS 123(R) in 2006, we carefully evaluated the components and effectiveness of the total compensation package we offer to our employees, including salary, and benefits, and taking into account the potential cost, dilutive impact and effectiveness of various types of incentive awards available to employees under the 2005 Plan. We surveyed the Company’s Board of Directors (in particular the Compensation and HR Committee), management and employees for their views as to the long-term retentive and motivational impact of various award structures, and we considered what prevailing trends were at other companies both inside and outside our industry, including our competitors. Based on the results of our investigation and analysis, we determined that, at least in the near term, granting employees a lesser number of full-value restricted stock awards (i.e., an award of shares of restricted stock that vests in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the administrator, typically based on continuing employment with the Company over a period of years) represented a better balance of these competing interests than our historical practice of granting stock options at a fair market value exercise price per share. Among other factors we considered in making this determination were the following:

*   Award value linked to long-term stockholder value. Like an option grant, the ultimate amount an employee will derive from a full-value restricted stock award depends on what happens to our stock price during the period over which it vests. If the stock price increases, the employee shares in this increase in stockholder value. If the price declines, the value of the employee’s award declines with that of our other stockholders. We believe this encourages our employees to think and behave like owners and make decisions that increase long-term stockholder value.

*   Better retentive device. Unlike our historical option grants, while these full-value restricted stock awards can decline in value in direct relation to our stock price, they will almost never be worthless, which means their retentive value continues even if our stock price declines in some or all periods following the date of grant; consequently, there is no need for option exchanges or repurchasing of options to retain incentives.

*   Dilution.In periods where our stock price trades below the exercise price of an option, an option would not be exercised while the dilutive impact of a full-value restricted stock award would remain; however that risk is partially mitigated by the fact that a fewer number of shares are issued as restricted stock units.

The Company views full-value restricted stock awards as our preferred choice for grants under the 2005 Plan generally. Accordingly, since January 2004, we have generally granted full-value restricted stock awards to our eligible employees. In 2006, the Company granted a mix of restricted stock grants and stock options and in 2007 granted full-value restricted stock awards.  The Company has discussed and is considering the introduction of “performance vested” restricted stock grants in conjunction with full-value restricted grants for 2008.

Other Compensation Considerations

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may not receive a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to the CEO and the next three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the principal financial officer) to the extent that any of these persons receives more than $1,000,000 in compensation in any one year. However, if we pay compensation that is treated as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), we can receive a federal income tax deduction for the compensation paid even if such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 in a single year. Our 2005 Planis shareholder-approved and stock options granted under the 2005 plan are structured to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation”; therefore, compensation realized in connection with exercises of options granted under the 2005 Plan is exempt under the statute and is fully deductible on our federal income tax returns. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the compensation committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible on our federal income tax returns.

No portion of the Compensation and HR Committee Report or the performance graph included below shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, through any general statement incorporating by reference in its entirety the Proxy Statement in which this report and the performance graph appear, except to the extent that the company specifically incorporates this report or a portion of it, or the performance graph by reference. In addition, neither this report nor the performance graph shall be deemed to be filed under with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

COMPENSATION AND HR COMMITTEE REPORT

We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement with management.  Based on such review and discussions with management, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

SUBMITTED BY THE COMPENSATION AND HR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Lew Solomon, Chairman

Dennis Strigl, Member

The foregoing report of the Compensation and HR Committee is furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as incorporated therein by reference.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company’s Common Stock from December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2007 with the cumulative total return on the NASDAQ Stock Market Index and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, considered to be an index of the Company’s peer group, during the same period.  The comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2002 in the Company’s Common Stock and in each of the foregoing indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends.  The Company did not declare, nor did it pay any cash dividends during the comparison period.  Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in any of the Company’s previous or future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the graph shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2008 ANNUAL MEETING

If a stockholder of the Company wishes to have a proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proposal must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices by December 19, 2008 and must otherwise comply with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy material for the 2009 Annual Meeting. If a stockholder desires to bring business before the meeting which is not the subject of a proposal complying with the SEC proxy rule requirements for inclusion in the proxy statement, the stockholder must follow procedures outlined in the Company’s by−laws in order to personally present the proposal at the meeting.  A copy of these procedures is available upon request from the Secretary of the Company.

One of the procedural requirements in the Company’s by−laws is timely notice in writing of the business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting.  Notice of business proposed to be brought before the 2009 Annual Meeting or notice of a proposed nomination to the Board must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than January 18, 2009, to be presented at the meeting.  If, however, the date of next year’s Annual Meeting is earlier than April 18, 2009, or later than June 17, 2009, the earliest date will be determined by the Board of Directors.  Any such notice must provide the information required by the Company’s by−laws with respect to the stockholder making the proposal, the nominee (if any) and the other business to be considered (if any).  Under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company, acting through the persons named as proxies in the proxy materials for such meeting, may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any proposals that do not comply with the procedures described above.  Proposals may be mailed to the Company, to the attention of the Secretary, 141 Mt.
