Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 29, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on July 8, 2014, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual periods.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2014, amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on July 8, 2014. The results of operations for the six months ended June 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The Company operates on a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the second quarter to realign the Company’s fiscal quarters more closely to calendar quarters. Fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are comprised of 52-week periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of commitments and contingencies and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used to account for the fair value of certain marketable securities, revenue adjustments, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs, valuation of intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, legal contingencies, income taxes, stock-based compensation expenses, the fair value of long-term debt, product warranties and pension related liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that provides for a new single revenue accounting model that will replace existing revenue recognition guidance. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance becomes effective in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. The Company will have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard update. The Company is evaluating the impact that the standard update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition

On August 1, 2013, the Company acquired the microcontroller and analog business (the MCA business) of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited (FSL) for purchase consideration of $158.5 million, ($150.0 million, net of cash acquired). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement with FSL, the Company acquired certain subsidiaries and assets and assumed certain liabilities of FSL for purposes of acquiring FSL’s business of designing, developing, marketing and selling microcontroller and analog semiconductor products.

There were no changes in the first half of fiscal 2014 to the allocation of purchase price to the net assets acquired under the MCA business.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)(Unaudited)

The Company’s cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with the majority in the United States. As of June 29, 2014, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $289.1 million held within the United States and $15.7 million held outside of the United States. As of December 29, 2013, the Company has cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments of $298.3 million held within the United States and $13.2 million held outside the United States.

All securities other than the FDIC insured certificates of deposit were designated as available-for-sale. FDIC insured certificates of deposit are held to maturity. Gross unrealized gains and losses on cash equivalents and short term investments were not material as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013. Gross realized gains and losses on cash equivalents and short-term investments were not material for the three months and six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

Sale of Sunnyvale property and new headquarters lease

On January 23, 2014, the Company sold property in Sunnyvale, California, consisting of 24.5 acres of land with approximately 471,000 square feet of buildings that include its headquarters building and submicron development center, a Pacific Gas & Electric transmission facility and a warehouse building, for a net consideration of $58.9 million. The Company concurrently leased back approximately 170,000 square feet of the headquarters building on a month-to-month basis with the Company having the option to continue the lease for up to 24 months; thereafter either party can terminate the lease. The first six months of the lease are rent free. For accounting purposes, the rents relating to the rent-free period have been netted against the sale proceeds and represent prepaid rent. The Company’s rent-free use of this building constitutes continuing involvement by the Company as lessee, and recognition of the sale of the property and the related gain is deferred until the lease period ends.

Due to the Company’s continuing involvement under the lease, the cash proceeds net of third-party costs were recorded under the financing method as a short term financing obligation, in accordance with the authoritative guidance on leases and sale of real estate. Interest is imputed on the financing obligation until such time as the sale can be recognized. The property will continue to remain on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and the buildings will be depreciated over their remaining useful life. As of June 29, 2014, $59.9 million, including interest, was recorded in Accrued liabilities and other as a financing obligation. After the rent-free period, a portion of the lease payments will be recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and the remainder will be recognized as interest expense.

On May 22, 2014, the Company entered into a new headquarters lease for renting office space in San Jose, CA. The lease term is for a period of 12 years, with two options to extend for periods of five years each after the initial lease term. The initial lease term will commence on January 1, 2015 and expire on December 31, 2026.

6. Equity Incentive Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan (2010 Plan) provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance awards, and deferred stock to its employees, consultants and non-employee members of its Board of Directors.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company granted performance awards to certain senior executives with vesting subject to achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Performance goals are based on a combination of Company- specific financial targets, and a relative total shareholder return (TSR) target that compares the Company’s TSR over a three-year period to a benchmark peer-group TSR. These awards vest at the end of the performance period of three years from the grant date. The number of stock awards that can vest range from 0% to 150% of those initially awarded. In evaluating the fair value of these awards, the Company used a combination of the stock price at the close of market on grant date, for the performance condition and a Monte Carlo simulation on grant date, taking the market-based goal into consideration, for the market condition.

The shares of common stock available for grant under the 2010 Plan are shown in the following table:

	Shares Available For Grant
Balance as of December 29, 2013		2,350,404
Additional shares issuable under 2010 plan (annual increase for 2014)		2,069,902
Stock options forfeited/cancelled through June 29, 2014		298,269
RSU awards granted, net of forfeitures/cancellations		(952,239	)
Key executive RSU awards forfeited/cancelled through June 29, 2014		357,870
PSU awards granted, net of forfeitures/cancellations ⁽¹⁾		(256,000	)
Balance as of June 29, 2014		3,868,206

(1) Includes performance awards granted in fiscal 2014 at target. Additional awards that could be earned under the fiscal 2014 grant total 137,000.

Stock-Based Compensation

The following table presents the total stock-based compensation expense by financial statement caption resulting from the Company’s stock options and RSU and PSU awards:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2014		June 30, 2013		June 29, 2014		June 30, 2013
		(in thousands)
Cost of sales	$	1,432	$	1,379	$	2,923	$	2,852
Research and development		1,850		2,673		3,814		5,468
Sales, general and administrative		3,839		3,619		8,865		7,976
Stock-based compensation expense after income taxes⁽¹⁾	$	7,121	$	7,671	$	15,602	$	16,296

⁽¹⁾There was no income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation because all of the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets, net of U.S. deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a full valuation allowance.

The fair value of each stock option was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions for grants:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2013

Expected volatility		43.79	%		49.45	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.15	%		0.85	%
Expected term (in years)		4.35			4.35
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

The weighted average fair value of the Company’s stock options granted is as follows:

2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On May 16, 2014 the stockholders of the Company approved the Spansion Inc. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their base salary towards the purchase of the Company’s common stock. The per share purchase price of the employee will be 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or the end of the offering period, whichever is lower.

The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 2.0 million shares. The plan shares will be increased automatically on an annual basis on January 1 of each year. The increase will be equal to one percent of total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the immediately preceding December 31, subject to certain restrictions. The initial offering period under the ESPP commences on August 15, 2014 and ends on February 13, 2015.

Capped Calls

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain bank counterparties to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon exchange of the Notes. The capped call transactions have a strike price of approximately $13.87 and a cap price of approximately $18.14, and are exercisable when and if the Notes are converted. If upon conversion of the Notes, the price of the common stock is above the strike price of the capped calls, the counterparties will deliver shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash with an aggregate value approximately equal to the difference between the price of our common stock at the conversion date (with a maximum price for purposes of this determination equal to the cap price) and the strike price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock related to the capped call transactions being exercised. The capped call transactions expire on September 1, 2020.

The Company is in compliance of all the covenants under its existing debt obligations as of June 29, 2014.

7.875% Senior Notes due 2017

On January 21, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining $94.1 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (the Senior Notes) at a redemption price that was 103.938% of their face value. The Company paid an aggregate amount of $99.1 million, including redemption price, accrued and unpaid interest, and repurchase premium, and recorded a loss on redemption of $4.8 million within Interest income and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company redeemed these Senior Notes with the proceeds from the issuance of the 2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020.

2012 Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 29, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility’s covenants. However, drawdown under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company meet or obtain a waiver to certain conditions including the senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 2.75:1.00 and compliance with coverage and leverage ratios, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Based on the financial results for the quarter ended June 29, 2014, the Company does not meet the maximum leverage ratio limit. The Company has not obtained a waiver for those conditions, so it is not able to draw down on the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company did not need to draw on the revolving line of credit during the quarter ended June 29, 2014 and believes that its sources of cash and liquidity are sufficient to meet the business requirements for the next 12 months.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company entered into multiple foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain operational exposures resulting from movements in Japanese yen (JPY) exchange rates. The Company’s hedging policy is designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on its operating results. Some foreign currency forward contracts were considered to be economic hedges that were not designated as hedging instruments while others were designated as cash flow hedges. Whether designated or undesignated, these forward contracts protect the Company against the variability of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from revenues and net asset or liability positions designated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and they are not speculative in nature.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges have maturities between three and eight months. The maximum original duration of any contract allowable under the Company’s hedging policy is fifteen months.

At June 29, 2014, the Company had outstanding forward contracts to buy USD for $145.3 million with Japanese Yen.

Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify $3.9 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as the related forecasted transactions occur.

12. Employee related pension obligation

A majority of the employees transferred as part of the MCA business acquisition were participants in the Fujitsu Corporate Pension Fund and Retirement Allowance Plan (together, the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan) until March 31, 2014. The Company accounted for its participation in the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan on behalf of these employees (Plan participants) as a multiemployer plan participant and recorded pension expense of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2014.

On January 15, 2014, the Company received approval from the transferred employees’ union to exit from the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan and establish the Spansion defined contribution and cash balance plans.

On April 1, 2014, the Company withdrew from the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan and set up the Spansion Corporate Defined Contribution Pension Plan and the Spansion Innovates Group Cash Balance Plan, an unfunded defined benefit plan of our MCA Japan business subsidiaries (Spansion Pension Plans). In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement with FSL, the plan assets transferred from the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan to the Spansion Pension Plans were valued as of March 31, 2014, one day before the transfer. The Company was not subject to any liabilities upon withdrawal from the Fujitsu Defined Benefit Plan.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)(Unaudited)

The Company recognized a gain of $2.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 relating to better than expected performance of the total fund assets in the pension plan. This gain was recorded as Interest income and other, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014.

The restricted cash that was received as a part of the MCA business acquisition for the underfunded portion of the Fujitsu managed pension plan was $23.2 million. According to the employees’ election and the expected distribution schedule, the Company recorded $6.6 million in Accrued compensation and benefits and $17.7 million in Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2014. Restricted cash relating to these distributions has been consequently recorded in short term and long term assets as appropriate.

Spansion Innovates Group Cash balance plan (Defined Benefit Plan)

The Spansion Innovates Group Cash balance plan (Cash Balance Plan) provides for the Company to set up a hypothetical cash balance account (CB account) for each plan participant and accumulates at a percentage of the annual pensionable salary and interest thereon. Only employees transferred as part of the MCA business acquisition are eligible to participate in the cash balance plan.

The pension charges under the Cash Balance Plan are based on certain actuarial assumptions, such as turnover rates, discount rates and other factors. The discount rate assumption is determined by comparing the expected benefit payments to the Japanese corporate bonds yield curve as of April 1, 2014. Actual results that differ from these assumptions will be accumulated and amortized over the future life of the plan participants if they exceed 10% of the PBO.

The Company recorded a service cost and accrued a liability of $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014. The Company expects to expense $1.0 million related to the Cash Balance Plan for the fiscal year ending 2014.

Spansion Corporate Defined Contribution Plan

The Company recorded an expense of $ 0.6 million under this plan for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014 and accrued a liability of $0.2 million as of June 29, 2014.

The tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign locations due to expiration of the applicable statues of limitations. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to pre-tax income in foreign jurisdictions and withholding taxes related to Samsung licensing revenue, offset by the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign locations.

As of June 29, 2014, all of the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is based on the Company's assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable in the foreseeable future.

As of December 29, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,024 million and $219.8 million, respectively. Approximately $489.7 million of the federal net operating loss carry forwards are subject to an annual limitation of $27.2 million. These federal and state net operating losses, if not utilized, expire from 2016 to 2033. The Company also has U.S. federal credit carryovers of $3.3 million, which expire from 2020 to 2033. The Company also has state tax credits of $18.2 million, which includes California state tax credits of $17.5 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely.

If the Company were to undergo an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its ability to utilize its federal net operating loss carry forwards could be limited under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Company could incur greater tax liabilities than it would in the absence of such a limitation and any incurred liabilities could materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

14. Restructuring and Others

Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, in an effort to lower its expense levels, given the competitive pricing pressures and slower than expected growth in Japan revenues from Flash products, the Company implemented a reduction in force to rationalize its global workforce.

Cash payments		(2	)		(774	)
Accrued restructuring balance, end of period	$	39		$	39

15. Capital Structure

Effective January 22, 2014, SLS Spansion Holdings, LLC and its affiliates were no longer holders of at least 5% of the Company’s voting securities. Consequently, the one outstanding share of Class B Common Stock was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

The Company had $117.0 million of purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for inventory items as of June 29, 2014.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these types of agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved with respect to each particular agreement. Historically, payments under these types of agreements have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various other tax authorities. The Company has reserved for potential adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities, and the Company believes that the final outcome of these examinations or agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of tax benefits in the period the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

Legal Matters

In the Matter of Certain Flash Memory Chips and Products Containing the Same, U.S International Trade Commission (Investigation No. 337-TA-893).

On August 1, 2013, Spansion LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Spansion LLC), filed a complaint pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337 (Section 337), to request the United States International Trade Commission ( ITC) to institute an investigation relating to the unlawful importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and/or the sale within the United States after importation of certain Macronix flash memory chips (Macronix Chips) that infringe certain claims of six valid patents held by Spansion LLC, and/or are made, produced or processed under, or by means of, a process covered by the claims of those patents, and products containing the Macronix Chips.

On September 9, 2013, the ITC instituted its investigation, naming the following entities as Respondents in the investigation: Macronix International Co, Ltd., of Hsin-chu, Taiwan; Macronix America, Inc., of Milpitas, CA; Macronix Asia Limited of Kanagawa Pref., Japan; Macronix (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., of Sa Tin, N.T., Hong Kong; Acer Inc. of New Taipei City, Taiwan; Acer America Corporation of San Jose, CA; ASUSTek Computer Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan; Asus Computer International of Fremont, CA; Belkin International, Inc., of Playa Vista, CA; D-Link Corporation of Taipei City, Taiwan; D-Link System, Inc., of Fountain Valley, CA; Netgear Inc., San Jose, CA; Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan; and Nintendo of America, Inc., of Redmond, WA.

Through this investigation, Spansion LLC seeks a general exclusion order to exclude from importation all infringing Macronix Chips and downstream products containing such chips. In the event that the ITC is unwilling to issue a general exclusion order, Spansion LLC requests a limited exclusion order be entered against each named Respondent and its subsidiaries and affiliates in order to remedy the Respondents’ violation of Section 337 and to prevent future violations by Respondents. Spansion LLC has also asked the ITC to issue a cease and desist order to ensure compliance with the requested exclusion orders.

Trial is presently set to commence on October 2, 2014. The ITC has entered a target date of May 22, 2015, for completion of its investigation.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has initiated inter partes review with respect to certain claims under four of the six patents involved in this investigation in response to petitions filed by Macronix. On May 7, 2014, the U.S. PTO initiated inter partes review of claims 1-14 of U.S. Patent No. 6,459,625. On May 8, 2014, the U.S. PTO initiated inter partes review of claims 1-4 of U.S. Patent No. 6,369,416; claims 1, 3-5, 7, 20, and 28 of U.S. Patent No. 6,731,536; and claims 1-6 and 8-13 of U.S. Patent No. 7,151,027, in response to petitions filed by Macronix. A second petition for inter partes review of claims 7 and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 7,151,027 was filed by Macronix on June 4, 2014, together with a Motion for Joinder, seeking to join the earlier filed petition and the already instituted review of the same patent. Absent a showing of good cause for delay, and depending on the decision on the Motion for Joinder, a final decision is expected in each of these inter partes review proceedings by May 8, 2015.

Overview

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and developer of embedded systems semiconductors, which include flash memory, microcontrollers, mixed-signal and analog products and embedded system-on-chip solutions. Our leading-edge intellectual property and products are driving the development of high quality, reliable and economical devices that are high performing, intelligent, efficient and secure.

The embedded markets we focus on are transportation, industrial, consumer, communications and gaming. These markets require reliable flash memory solutions, microcontrollers, mixed-signal and analog and other programmable semiconductors that run applications in a broad range of electronic systems. The embedded markets are generally characterized by longer design and product life cycles, relatively stable pricing, more predictable supply-demand outlook and lower capital investments. Within this embedded industry, we serve a well-diversified customer base through a predominantly differentiated, non-commodity, service oriented model that strives to meet our customers’ needs. Our embedded solutions are incorporated in products manufactured by leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We have many years of experience refining our product and service strategy to address market requirements and deliver high-quality products that go into a broad range of electronic applications such as automobiles, airplanes, set top boxes, games, telecommunications equipment, smart meters, factory automation and medical devices.

Our products are designed to accommodate various voltage, interface and density requirements for a wide range of applications and customer platforms. The majority of our NOR flash memory product designs are based on our proprietary two-bit-per-cell MirrorBit® technology, which has a simpler cell architecture, higher yields and lower costs than competing floating gate NOR flash memory technology. While we are most known for our NOR products, we are continuing to expand our portfolio in the areas of NAND flash memory, microcontroller, mixed-signal and analog products, as well as programmable system solutions or embedded system-on-chip solutions to broaden our customer engagement and bring differentiated products to embedded markets.

In addition to product sales, we generate revenue by licensing our intellectual property to third parties and we assist our customers in developing and prototyping their designs by providing software and hardware development tools, drivers and simulation models for system-level integration.

Sale of Sunnyvale property and new headquarters lease

On January 23, 2014, we sold our property in Sunnyvale, California, consisting of 24.5 acres of land with approximately 471,000 square feet of buildings that include our headquarters building and submicron development center, a Pacific Gas & Electric transmission facility and a warehouse building, for a net consideration of $58.9 million. We concurrently leased back approximately 170,000 square feet of the headquarters building on a month-to-month basis with the option to continue the lease for up to 24 months; thereafter, either party to the lease agreement can terminate the lease. The first six months of the lease are rent free. For accounting purposes, the rents relating to the rent-free period are assumed to have been netted against the sale proceeds and represent prepaid rent. Our rent-free use of this building constitutes continuing involvement by us as lessee, and recognition of the sale of the property and the related gain is deferred until the lease period ends.

Due to our continuing involvement under the lease, the cash proceeds net of third-party costs, are recorded under the financing method as a short term financing obligation in accordance with the authoritative guidance on leases and sale of real estate. Interest is imputed on the financing obligation until such time as the sale can be recognized. The property continues to remain on our books and the buildings will be depreciated over their remaining useful life. As of June 29, 2014, $59.9 million, including interest, was recorded in Accrued liabilities and other, as a financing obligation. After the rent-free period, a portion of the lease payments will be recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and the remainder will be recognized as interest expense.

On May 22, 2014, we entered into a new headquarters lease for renting office space in San Jose, CA. The lease is for a period of 12 years, with two options to extend for periods of five years each after the initial lease term. The initial term of the lease will commence on January 1, 2015 and expire on December 31, 2026.

Closure of Chapter 11 cases

Pursuant to the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization on April 16, 2010, a claims agent was appointed to analyze and, at his discretion, contest outstanding disputed claims totaling $1.5 billion. As of June 29, 2014, we had resolved all outstanding disputed claims and had distributed the 46,264,760 shares of stock that were reserved for holders of allowed general unsecured claims. On July 16, 2014, a final order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court closing all Chapter 11 cases. We recognized a gain of $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 relating to reversal of the reserve for bankruptcy claims. This has been recorded under Interest income and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

In connection with our establishment of the Spansion Innovates Group Cash Balance Plan (an unfunded defined benefit plan), for the employees transferred as part of the MCA business, we adopted the relevant accounting guidance for defined benefit plans beginning in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2014. Defined benefit pension plans are accounted for on an actuarial basis, which requires the selection of various assumptions such as turnover rates, discount rates and other factors. The discount rate assumption is determined by comparing the projected benefit payments to the Japanese corporate bonds yield curve as of April 1, 2014.

The benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation (PBO), which represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement. This liability is recorded in Other long term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net periodic pension cost is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and includes service cost. Service cost represents the actuarial present value of participant benefits earned in the current year. Interest cost represents the time value of money associated with the passage of time on the PBO. Gains or losses resulting from a change in the PBO if actual results differ from actuarial assumptions will be accumulated and amortized over the future life of the plan participants if they exceed 10% of the PBO.

Other Changes in Estimates or Accounting Policies

There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting estimates or significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 29, 2014 as compared to the discussion in Part II, Item 7 and in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on July 8, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that provides guidance regarding revenue recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance becomes effective in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. We will have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard update. We are evaluating the impact that the standard update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Net Sales

Net sales increased by $119.6 million from $195.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $314.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was due to the inclusion of $133.5 million of revenues from the MCA business acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, which was partially offset by $18.3 million decrease in sales of embedded flash memory products. The decrease in embedded flash memory sales was primarily in the consumer, transportation and industrial markets.

Net sales increased by $241.8 million from $384.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $626.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was due to the inclusion of $274.7 million of revenues from MCA business acquired, which was partially offset by $49.7 million decrease in embedded flash memory sales. The decrease in embedded flash memory sales was due to lower revenues from consumer, transportation and industrial markets and a downward pressure on selling prices.

Geographically, revenue was derived from the following regions:

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased by $35.4 million from $57.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $92.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. The gross margin percentage increased slightly from 29.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 29.5% in three months ended June 29, 2014. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to revenues from the MCA business. This increase was partially offset by reduced profits from revenues in the embedded flash memory market due to decline in consumer, transportation and industrial sales as described under Net Sales above.

Our gross profit increased by $79.5 million from $103.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $182.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. Our gross margin as a percentage of sales increased from 26.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 29.2% in the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase in gross profit / margin was mainly due to revenues from MCA business and additional licensing revenues. The increase was partially offset by reduced profits from sales of embedded flash solutions due to lower revenues from consumer, transportation and industrial markets and changes in product sales mix.

Research and Development (R&D)

R&D expenses increased by $16.2 million from $23.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $39.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. R&D expenses increased by $37.0 million from $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $83.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase for both three and six months ended June 29, 2014 was mainly due to incremental R&D expenses relating to the MCA business.

Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses increased by $26.7 million from $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $61.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was mainly due to incremental SG&A expenses relating to the MCA business and $15.6 million of higher legal expenses on the Macronix patent infringement litigation.

SG&A expenses increased by $53.8 million from $62.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $116.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was mainly due to incremental SG&A expenses relating to the MCA business and $21.4 million higher legal expenses on the Macronix patent infringement litigation.

Interest Income and Other, net

Interest income and other, net increased by $2.8 million from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. The increase is due to $3.2 million of reversal of bankruptcy related reserves on final closure of the Chapter 11 cases, $2.5 million gain recognized relating to better than expected performance of the total fund assets in the pension plan, and $0.5 million recovery from impaired investments consisting of auction rate securities. We impaired these securities at various intervals between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2010 based on our periodic analysis of discounted cash flows and the lack of a market for those securities. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we received a refund on the principal portion of the investment. The increase was partially offset by an adverse impact of $2.4 million of gain on ineffective cash flow hedges in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to no such gains in fiscal 2014 and $0.8 million higher realized and unrealized loss on foreign currency transactions in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Interest income and other, net, decreased by $2.8 million from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was due to $4.8 million of costs incurred to repurchase $94.0 million of the remaining 7.875% Senior Notes, an adverse impact of $2.4 million gain on ineffective cash flow hedges in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to no such event in fiscal 2014, and $1.1 million of higher realized and unrealized loss on foreign currency transactions. The decrease was offset by a gain of $3.2 million from the reversal of bankruptcy related reserves on final closure of the Chapter 11 cases, and $2.5 million gain recognized relating to better than expected performance of the total fund assets in the pension plan.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million from $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014 due to a lower interest rate on our debt. We fully redeemed 7.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (the Senior Notes) in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease was partially offset by $0.6 million of imputed interest recorded in fiscal 2014 on the financing obligation relating to the sale of the Sunnyvale property.

Interest expense decreased by $2.8 million from $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014 primarily due to lower interest expense on our debt. The decrease was partially offset by $1.0 million of imputed interest on the financing obligation relating to the sale of the Sunnyvale property in fiscal 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $3.8 million and an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Our income tax expense was $6.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

The tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign locations due to expiration of the applicable statues of limitations. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to pre-tax income in foreign jurisdictions and withholding taxes related to Samsung licensing revenue offset by the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign locations.

As of June 29, 2014, all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities continue to be subject to a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is based on our assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable in the foreseeable future.

As of December 29, 2013, we had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,024 million and $219.8 million, respectively. Approximately $489.7 million of the federal net operating loss carry forwards are subject to an annual limitation of $27.2 million. These federal and state net operating losses, if not utilized, expire from 2016 to 2033. We also have U.S. federal credit carryovers of $3.3 million which expire from 2020 to 2033. We also have state tax credits of $18.2 million, which includes California state tax credits of $17.5 million, which can be brought forward indefinitely.

If we were to undergo an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, our ability to utilize the unlimited federal net operating loss carry forwards could be limited under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, we could incur greater tax liabilities than we would in the absence of such a limitation and any incurred liabilities could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

(1)

Other long term liabilities consist of payment commitments under long term software license agreements with vendors and asset retirement obligations.

(2)

Operating leases includes payments relating to the new headquarters lease. The initial term of the lease will commence on January 1, 2015 and expire on December 31, 2026.

(3)

Unconditional purchase commitments (UPC) include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These agreements are principally related to inventory. UPCs exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.

(4)

As of June 29, 2014, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $19.3 million, including interest and penalties. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020

The net carrying amount of the liability component of 2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020 (the Notes) consists of the following:

	June 29, 2014
	(in thousands)
Principal amount	$	150,000
Unamortized debt discount		(35,950	)
Net carrying value	$	114,050

The following table presents the interest expense recognized on the Notes:

	Six Months Ended

Contractual interest expense at 2% per annum	$	1,484
Amortization of debt issuance costs		261
Accretion of debt discount		2,317
Total	$	4,062

Capped Calls

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into capped call transactions with certain bank counterparties to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon exchange of the Notes. The capped call transactions have a strike price of approximately $13.87 and a cap price of approximately $18.14, and are exercisable when and if the Notes are converted. If, upon conversion of the Notes, the price of our common stock is above the strike price of the capped calls, the counterparties will deliver shares of our common stock and/or cash with an aggregate value approximately equal to the difference between the price of our common stock at the conversion date (as defined, with a maximum price for purposes of this determination equal to the cap price) and the strike price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock related to the capped call transactions being exercised. The capped call transactions expire on September 1, 2020.

We are in compliance of all covenants under our existing debt arrangements as of June 29, 2014.

7.875% Senior Notes due 2017

On January 21, 2014, we redeemed the remaining approximately $94.1 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Senior Notes at a redemption price that was 103.938% of their face value. We paid an aggregate amount of $99.1 million, including redemption price, accrued and unpaid interest, and repurchase premium. Loss on redemption of the Senior Notes of $4.8 million was recorded within Interest income and other, net. We redeemed these Senior Notes with the proceeds from the issuance of the 2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020.

2012 Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 29, 2014, we were in compliance with all of the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility’s covenants. However, drawdown under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility requires that we meet or obtain a waiver to certain conditions including the senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 2.75:1.00 and compliance with coverage and leverage ratios, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Based on the financial results for the quarter ended June 29, 2014, we do not meet the maximum leverage ratio limit. We have not obtained a waiver for those conditions, so we would not be able to draw down on the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility. We did not need to draw on the revolving line of credit during the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe our sources of cash and liquidity are sufficient to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months, including capital expenditures for worldwide manufacturing and assembly and working capital requirements.

Cash Requirements

As of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, we had the following cash and cash equivalents and short term investments:

	June 29, 2014		December 29, 2013
	(in thousands)


Cash	$	265,437	$	282,163
Money market funds		115		3,906

Time deposits		14,063		14,045
Total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments	$	304,773	$	311,497

Key components of our cash flow during the six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2014			June 30, 2013
	(in thousands)

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	46,946		$	14,981

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		574			(232	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(17,139	)	$	(56,642	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.9 million during the six months ended June 29, 2014, which consisted of net loss of $34.5 million and net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $18.1 million and net non-cash items of approximately $63.3 million. The net increase in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of $24.3 million in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued compensation and benefits, and an increase of $4.4 million in deferred income. This was partially offset by an increase of $12.2 million in other assets. Net non-cash items primarily consisted of $53.3 million in depreciation and amortization, and $15.6 million of stock compensation expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, which consisted of net loss of $17.7 million and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $20.8 million, offset by net non-cash items of approximately $53.4 million. The net decrease in operating assets and liabilities was due to an increase of $14.9 million in inventory, a decrease of $8.2 million in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued compensation and benefits, an increase of $5.2 million in accounts receivables and an increase of $6.0 million in deferred income. Net non-cash items primarily consisted of $39.3 million in depreciation and amortization, and $16.3 million of stock compensation expense.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $32.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2014, primarily comprised of $23.4 million used to purchase marketable securities and $22.6 million used to purchase property, plant and equipment, which were offset by $13.0 million in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash used for investing activities was $70.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily comprised of $91.1 million used to purchase marketable securities and $24.7 million used to purchase property, plant and equipment, which were offset by $43.1 million in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $32.7 million during the six months ended June 29, 2014, primarily due to payments of $101.0 million on financing arrangements, offset by $59.0 million of proceeds from sale of our Sunnyvale building and $9.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used for financing activities was $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to payments of $2.1 million on financing arrangements, offset by $1.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Indemnification Obligations

During the normal course of business, we make certain indemnities and commitments under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include non-infringement of patents and intellectual property, indemnities to our customers in connection with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of our products, indemnities to our directors and officers in connection with legal proceedings, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities and commitments varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. We believe that substantially all of our indemnities and commitments provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of liabilities related to our indemnities and commitments because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events, which are not reasonably determinable.

As of June 29, 2014, we did not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as that term is defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash deposits, invested cash and debt. As of June 29, 2014, we had $265.5 million held in demand deposit accounts, $25.2 million invested in certificates of deposit most of which were insured by the FDIC and $14.1 million held in time deposits. Our cash and short-term investment position is highly liquid. Of our total cash and short-term investments, approximately $266.2 million have maturity terms of 0 to 30 days, $2.8 million have maturity terms of 31 to 90 days, $7.4 million have maturity terms of 91 to 180 days, and the remaining $28.4 million have maturity terms of 181 to 365 days at the time of purchase. While our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions, we believe our exposure to interest rate risk is minimal due to the short term nature of our cash and investment position.

Interest on our 2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes is fixed and interest on our Term Loan is at a variable rate. The Term Loan has a LIBOR floor of 0.75 percent. When LIBOR is below 0.75 percent, our interest expense will not change with short-term change in interest rate environment. When LIBOR is above 0.75 percent, changes in interest rates associated with the Term Loan will then result in a change to our interest expense. For example, a one percent aggregate change in interest rates would increase/decrease our contractual interest expense by approximately $2.9 million annually.

Default Risk

We intend to actively monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities and classes of securities in which we invest. We take a conservative approach to investing our funds. Our policy is to invest only in highly-rated securities with relatively short maturities.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our sales, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese yen and other foreign currencies are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For example,

●

some of our manufacturing costs are denominated in Japanese yen and other foreign currencies such as the Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit;

●

sales of our products to Fujitsu are denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen and Euros; and

●

some of our fixed asset purchases and sales are denominated in foreign currencies.

Consequently, movements in exchange rates could cause our net sales and our expenses to fluctuate, affecting our profitability and cash flows. We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our foreign exchange exposure on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. We also hedge a percentage of our forecasted revenue denominated in Japanese yen with foreign currency forward contracts. The objective of these contracts is to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. We do not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

We evaluate hedge effectiveness at the inception of the hedge prospectively, as well as retrospectively and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments in Interest income and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows resulting from the use of these instruments in the future, including the impact of counterparty non-performance. However, we cannot assure that these strategies will be effective or that transaction losses can be minimized or forecasted accurately, or that these activities will eliminate foreign currency exchange rate exposure. In particular, we generally cover only a portion of our foreign currency exchange exposure. Failure to eliminate or mitigate our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 29, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
