Deferred Income On Shipments to Distributors

Included in the caption “Deferred income on shipments to distributors” on the consolidated balance sheet are amounts related to shipments to certain distributors for which revenue is not recognized until our product has been sold by the distributor to an end customer. The components at December 28, 2008 and March 30, 2008 were as follows:

 

(in thousands)    Dec. 28, 2008    March 30, 2008

Gross deferred revenue

   $ 25,779    $ 30,741

Gross deferred costs

     5,518      6,429
             

Deferred income on shipments to distributors

   $ 20,261    $ 24,312
             

The gross deferred revenue represents the gross value of shipments to distributors at the list price billed to the distributor less any price protection credits provided to them in connection with reductions in list price while the products remain in their inventory. The amount ultimately recognized as revenue will be lower than this amount as a result of future price protection and ship from stock pricing credits which are issued in connection with the sell through of our products to end customers. Historically this amount represents on average approximately 25% of the list price billed to the customer. The gross deferred costs represent the standard costs of products we sell to the distributors. Although we monitor the levels and quality of inventory in the distribution channel, our experience is that product returned from these distributors are able to be sold to a different distributor or in a different region of the world. As such, inventory write-downs for product in the distribution channel have not been significant.
