INVENTORIES. Inventories are recorded at the lower of standard cost (which generally approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.  We adjust the carrying value of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory based on inventory age, shipment history and our forecast of demand over a specific future period of time. Raw material inventory is considered obsolete and written off if it has not moved in 365 days.  The Company reviews its assembled devices for excess and writes them off if the quantity of assembled devices in inventory is in excess of the greater of the quantity shipped in the previous twelve months, the quantity in backlog or the quantity forecasted to be shipped in the following twelve months. In certain circumstances, management will determine, based on expected usage or other factors, that inventory considered obsolete by these guidelines should not be written off. The Company does occasionally determine that the last twelve months’ sales levels will not continue and reserves inventory in line with the quantity forecasted.  The semiconductor markets that we serve are volatile and actual results may vary from our forecast or other assumptions, potentially impacting our assessment of excess and obsolete inventory and resulting in material effects on our gross margin.

The Company considers raw material inventory obsolete and it writes it off if the raw material has not moved in 365 days. The Company considers assembled devices excessive and writes them off if the quantity of assembled devices in inventory is in excess of the greater of the quantity shipped in the previous twelve months, the quantity in backlog or the quantity forecasted to be shipped in the following twelve months. In certain circumstances, management will determine, based on expected usage or other factors, that inventory considered excess by these guidelines should not be written off. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $8,316,000 of written-off inventory as compared to $8,543,000 at July 1, 2006. The Company attributes this overall reduction of approximately $227,000 in obsolete inventory between the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and the fiscal year ended July 1, 2006 to physically scrapping products that were previously written-off, partially offset by additional write-offs.

The reduction in net inventories during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 is due to a combination of tightening of supply and a continued concerted effort to reduce inventory levels to a lower level in fiscal 2007. Additionally reserves were taken against inventory that became excess or obsolete. Raw material inventory is considered obsolete and is fully reserved if it has not moved in 365 days. By part number, the quantity of assembled devices in inventory that is in excess of the greater of the quantity forecasted to be shipped in the next twelve months, the quantity shipped in the previous twelve months or the quantity in backlog are considered obsolete and reserved. In certain circumstances, management will determine, based on expected usage or other factors, that inventory considered obsolete by these guidelines should not be reserved. At March 31, 2007 $9.6 million of inventory on hand had been reserved as compared with $8.5 million at July 1, 2006.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, gross profit benefited as a result of the sale of inventory of $356,000 and $841,000, respectively, that had been previously identified as excess and written down to zero. In addition, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, gross profit benefited as a result from the sale of inventory of $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, that had been previously identified as excess and fully reserved.

The reduction in net inventories during the six month period ended December 30, 2006 is due to a combination of tightening of supply and a continued concerted effort to reduce inventory levels to a lower level in fiscal 2007 as well as reserving inventory that has become excess and obsolete.
