MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Maxim") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2011.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2012 is a 53-week fiscal year. The extra week is included in our current second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011.

NOTE 2: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 relating to Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08). The ASU allows an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that it is more likely than not, an entity is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for Maxim in fiscal 2013 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 relating to Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU is effective for Maxim in fiscal 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820)-Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04), to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for Maxim in Maxim's third quarter of fiscal 2012 and should be applied prospectively.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
The Company's Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of certificates of deposit, government agency securities and foreign currency forward contracts.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 3 liabilities consist of contingent consideration related to certain acquisitions, for details on inputs used in measuring fair value , please refer to the acquisitions footnote.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

In the six months ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended June 25, 2011, Maxim did not recognize any impairment charges on short-term investments.
The government agency securities have maturity dates between February 26, 2013 and December 18, 2013.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company generates revenues in various global markets based on orders obtained in non-U.S. currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the British Pound. Maxim incurs expenditures denominated in non-US currencies, principally Philippine Pesos and Thai Baht associated with the Company's manufacturing activities in the Philippines and Thailand, respectively, and expenditures for sales offices and research and development activities undertaken outside of the U.S. Maxim is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily on orders and accounts receivable from sales in these foreign currencies and cash flows for expenditures in these foreign currencies. Maxim has established risk management strategies designed to reduce the impact of volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in the exchange rate for these currencies. These strategies reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rates movements. Maxim does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company routinely hedges its exposures to certain foreign currencies with various financial institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations. If a financial counter party to any of the Company's hedging arrangements experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of the foreign currency hedge, the Company may experience financial losses.
 
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 815- Derivatives and Hedging, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings into the same financial statement line as the item being hedged, and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net.
 
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC No. 815, gains and losses are recognized in interest and other expense, net. All derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. The gains and losses on these derivatives largely offset the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Maxim estimates the fair value of derivatives primarily based on pricing models using current market rates and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The gross notional and the recorded fair value of derivative financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

(1) Current portion of long-term debt is included under accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 17, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") due on June 14, 2013, with an effective interest rate of 3.49%. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 14 and December 14 of each year. The Notes are governed by a base and supplemental indenture dated June 10, 2010 and June 17, 2010, respectively, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

In conjunction with the SensorDynamics acquisition as discussed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, Maxim acquired certain fixed and floating rate notes as detailed in the table above.

The Company accounts for the Notes based on their amortized cost. The discount and expenses are being amortized to Interest and other expense, net over the life of the Notes. Interest expenses associated with the Notes was $2.7 million and $2.6 million

11



during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. Interest expenses associated with the Notes was $5.4 million and $5.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. The interest expense is recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimated fair value of Maxim's debt was approximately $320 million at December 31, 2011. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units under its 2010 Shelf Registration Statement.

Credit Facility

On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders that expires on October 13, 2016. The Company agreed to pay the lenders a facility fee at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company's index debt rating. Any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company's debt index rating. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not more than 3 to 1. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not borrowed any amounts from this credit facility.

Other Financial Instruments
For the balance of Maxim's financial instruments, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Fair Value

The fair value of options granted to employees under the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and rights to acquire common stock under the Company's 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") is estimated using the value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company's common stock prior to vesting.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities from the Company's traded common stock over a period equal to the expected term. The Company is utilizing the simplified method to estimate expected holding periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. The Company determines the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividends per share by the prior quarter's average stock price. The result is analyzed by the Company to decide whether it represents expected future dividend yield. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions if the estimates change significantly or the actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The fair value of share-based awards granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on December 30, 2011, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of RSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of December 31, 2011.

The Company withheld shares totaling $7.9 million and $14.9 million in value as a result of employee withholding taxes based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting date as determined by the Company's closing stock price for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $143.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 10.8 million unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As of December 31, 2011, there was $7.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP.

NOTE 7: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs. Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and assumed issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plans using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Approximately 14.6 million and 15.3 million of the Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. Approximately 14.2 million and 22.9 million of the Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. These options were excluded because they were determined to be antidilutive. However, such options could be dilutive in the future and, under those circumstances, would be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates and tracks its results as one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of analog integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The Company has sixteen operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:

the nature of products and services;
the nature of the production processes;
the type or class of customer for their products and services; and
the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.

The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:

the sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company's sixteen operating segments;
the integrated circuits sold by each of the Company's operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;
the integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company's operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and
all of the Company's integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common electronics distributors.

All of the Company's operating segments share similar economic characteristics as they have a similar long term business model. The causes for variation among the Company's operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally,

16



each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes its operating segments based upon changes in customers, end-markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.

Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with GAAP. Geographical revenue information is based on customers' ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

In the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $28.8 million and $63.6 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $38.3 million and $96.2 million in the three and six months ended December 25, 2010, respectively. 
 
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010.  The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the Internal Revenue Service audit, however, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Stock Option Litigation
Beginning on or about May 22, 2006, several derivative actions were filed against certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company alleging, among other things, wrongful conduct of back-dating stock options as well as security law violations, and named the Company as a nominal defendant against whom the plaintiffs sought no recovery.

The parties to the derivative litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery entered into a stipulated settlement agreement, which was approved by the Delaware Court of Chancery on September 16, 2008. All derivative actions pending in the California Superior Court have since been dismissed, with prejudice. Net settlement proceeds of $18.9 million were received by the Company on September 10, 2009. The Company recognized an increase to additional paid in capital of $2.5 million related to excess gains while the remainder of the proceeds of $16.4 million was recorded as a reduction to Other operating (income) expenses, net.

On February 6, 2008, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and certain former officers and employees

18



in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging claims under the federal securities laws based on certain alleged misrepresentations and omissions in the Company's public disclosures concerning its stock option accounting practices.  On June 18, 2010, lead plaintiffs and the Company entered into a stipulation of settlement settling the action and providing for the payment of $173.0 million in cash by the Company. The Company made this payment in July 2010. On September 29, 2010, the Court issued a Final Order and Judgment approving the settlement.

Other Legal Proceedings
 
In addition to the above proceedings, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of the Company's business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Indemnifications
 
The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers and subcontractors for attorney fees, damages and costs awarded against such parties in certain circumstances in which the Company's products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks or copyrights. The terms of the Company's indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company's potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims.
 
Legal Fees Associated with Indemnification Obligations, Defense and Other Related Costs
 
Pursuant to the Company's charter documents and indemnification agreements, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to its officers and directors and certain former officers and directors. More specifically, the Company has separate written indemnification agreements with our current and former executive officers and directors. Pursuant to such obligations, the Company has incurred expenses related to legal fees and expenses advanced to certain former officers of the Company subject to civil charges by the SEC in connection with Maxim's historical stock option granting practices. The Company expenses such amounts as incurred.    

NOTE 12: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

In August 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $750 million of the Company's common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company's management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company's Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were canceled and superseded by this authorization.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 6.7 million shares of its common stock for $161.2 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $636.5 million of the Company's common stock. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company's common stock and general market and business conditions.

NOTE 13: ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions completed in fiscal 2012 is set forth in the table below and reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analysis, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, which are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are the determination of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and residual goodwill.

Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to Maxim's condensed consolidated results of income, either individually or in the aggregate. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition costs for fiscal 2012 were not material.

SENSORDYNAMICS

On July 18, 2011, the Company acquired SensorDynamics, a semiconductor company that develops proprietary sensor and microelectromechanical solutions. SensorDynamics is based in Lebring, near Graz, Austria. The purpose of the acquisition was to allow Maxim to combine sensors with analog products. The total cash consideration associated with the acquisition was approximately $123.1 million.

OTHER ACQUISITIONS

The Company acquired three other companies during fiscal 2012, the biggest of which is a company that develops low power high performance analog circuits. The total cash consideration associated with the acquisition was approximately $41.3 million. Maxim also recorded $11.4 million, representing the fair value of contingent consideration that would be payable in the future should certain specified project milestones be met. Total contingent consideration that could be paid out under the agreement amounts to $7.4 million. The contingent consideration was calculated based on probabilities that were developed regarding the likelihood that the product development milestones would be met and when the contingent payments would occur. Based on these factors, a probability weighted earnout amount was calculated and discounted (at the cost of debt) to present.

PHYWORKS

On September 7, 2010, the Company acquired Phyworks Limited ("Phyworks"), a developer of high-speed communications integrated circuits. The Company expects that none of the goodwill associated with the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. No supplemental pro forma information is presented for the acquisition due to the immaterial effect of the acquisition on the Company's results of operations.

OTHER ACQUISITIONS

During fiscal 2011, the Company completed two other acquisitions, The biggest of which is a developer of highly integrated, analog, mixed-signal solutions, as well as design methods and flows for analog system-on-a-chip (SoCs). The total cash consideration associated with the acquisition was $8.2 million. The acquired assets included cash of $0.4 million. Maxim also recorded $8.8 million, representing the fair value of contingent consideration that would be payable in the future should certain specified project milestones be met. Total contingent consideration that could be paid out under the agreement amounts to $12.5 million. As of December 31, 2011 Maxim has paid $1.8 million relating to contingent consideration.

NOTE 14: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions, by reporting unit, annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed the annual impairment analysis during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.

Activity and goodwill balances for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim" or the "Company" and also referred to as "we," "our" or "us") disclaims any duty to and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise or to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review future reports and documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K (particularly Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (particularly Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview of Business

Maxim is incorporated in the state of Delaware. Maxim designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of geographically diverse customers. The Company also provides a range of high-frequency process technologies and capabilities that can be used in custom designs. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. The Company is a global company with wafer manufacturing facilities in the United States, testing facilities in the Philippines and Thailand and sales and circuit design offices throughout the world. The major end-markets in which the Company's products are sold are the communications, computing, consumer and industrial markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets, intangible assets, and goodwill; accounting for stock-based compensation, which impacts cost of goods sold, gross margins and operating expenses; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or are less likely to have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.


23



There have been no material changes during the six months ended December 31, 2011 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2011.

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company's net revenues and on operating income during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was not material.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $591.4 million and $612.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, a decrease of 3.5%. Net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, were $1,227.4 million and $1,239.1 million, respectively, a decrease of 0.9%. We classify our net revenue by four major end market categories: Communications, Computing, Consumer and Industrial. Net shipments decreased during the three and six months ended

24



December 31, 2011 as compared to the three and six months ended December 25, 2010 due to reduced demand for our products in the communications, computing and industrial markets.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, approximately 87% and 86% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. During the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, approximately 88% and 85% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was immaterial.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentage was 58.8% and 62.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. The gross margin decreased primarily due to factory under-utilization.

Our gross margin percentage was 60.6% and 61.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. The gross margin decreased primarily due to factory under-utilization.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $142.1 million and $130.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, which represented 24.0% and 21.2% of net revenues, respectively. The $12.1 million increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related expenses of $10.0 million resulting from increased headcount and an extra week in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Research and development expenses were $282.3 million and $257.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, which represented 23.0% and 20.8% of net revenues, respectively. The $24.5 million increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related expenses of $16.9 million resulting from increased headcount and an extra week in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $80.8 million and $72.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, which represented 13.7% and 11.8% of net revenues, respectively. The $8.6 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related benefits of $4.7 million resulting from increased headcount and an extra week in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $163.3 million and $144.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, which represented 13.3% and 11.6% of net revenues, respectively. The $18.9 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related benefits of $9.3 million resulting from increased headcount and an extra week in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, legal expense increased by $3.7 million relating to acquisition costs.

The Company's legal expenses decreased by $6.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 25, 2010 and decreased by $7.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 25, 2010. The decrease relates to indemnification related legal fees and legal fees associated with the settlement of the derivative litigation during fiscal 2011.

Maxim will be relocating its headquarters from the current site in Sunnyvale, California to a purchased site in San Jose, California. During the three months ended December 25, 2010, the Company sold and leased back its current headquarter facilities and recognized a loss of $14.3 million in connection with this transaction. The Company received proceeds from this sale of $24.0 million Additionally, the Company purchased for $19.6 million its future headquarter facilities which is expected to be ready for occupancy in fiscal year 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $28.8 million and $63.6 million respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $38.3 million and $96.2 million in the three and six months ended December 25, 2010, respectively. 
 
The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was lower than the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate primarily because of earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed at lower rates.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the Internal Revenue Service audit, however, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.

BACKLOG

At December 31, 2011, backlog was approximately $365.0 million. The Company's backlog at the end of the quarter ended September 24, 2011 was approximately $403.1 million. Our backlog is subject to revisions, cancellations and rescheduling and includes orders from domestic distributors for which revenues are not recognized until the products are sold by the distributors. These factors could have a material impact on the timing and extent of our revenues and is not indicative of revenue projections for subsequent fiscal quarters.

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Cash from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2011 increased by approximately $11.6 million compared with the six months ended December 25, 2010. This is due to the payment of $173.0 million in the six months ended December 25, 2010 related to the litigation settlement. (For more information on contingencies, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1). This increase was offset by net decreases in other accrued liabilities, deferred taxes and deferred income on shipments to distributors of $61.2 million, $64.4 million, and $14.2 million, respectively.
         
Investing activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, net investment purchases and maturities and acquisitions.

Cash used in investing activities increased by $158.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the six months ended December 25, 2010. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $93.2 million in cash used for acquisitions, an increase in purchases of available-for-sale securities of $25.1 million and an increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20.1 million. In addition in our second quarter of 2010 we received $24.0 million from the sale of the Company's Sunnyvale headquarters.

Financing activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of repurchases of common stock and payment of dividends to stockholders.

Net cash used in financing activities increased by approximately $46.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the six months ended December 25, 2010. The increase is primarily due to an increase in repurchases of common stock of $35.8 million and repayment of notes payables of $19.0 million, due to the repayment of a portion of the assumed SensorDynamics notes during the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Debt Levels
On June 17, 2010, we completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes (the "Notes") due on June 14, 2013. In addition, On July 18, 2011, we acquired certain fixed and floating rate notes in conjunction with our acquisition of SensorDynamics. (For more information on debts, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1).

Outstanding debt increased to $311 million as of December 31, 2011 as compared to $300 million at June 25, 2011, bearing weighted average interest rates of 3.44% and 3.49% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and for the year ended June 25, 2011, respectively. The increase was driven by the debt assumed in the SensorDynamics acquisition.

Available borrowing resources
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units under its 2010 Shelf Registration Statement.


28



On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders that expires on October 13, 2016. The Company has agreed to pay the lenders a facility fee at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company's index debt rating. Any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company's debt index rating. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not more than 3 to 1. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not borrowed any amounts from this credit facility.

The Company anticipates that the available funds and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the requirements of its business for the next twelve months, including its working capital requirements, its anticipated level of capital expenditures, dividend payments and common stock repurchases.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2011.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and our chief financial officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2011. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended December 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In August 2011, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $750 million of the Company's common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company's management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company's Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were canceled and superseded by this authorization.

In the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock for approximately $72.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $636.5 million of the Company's common stock. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company's common stock and general market and business conditions.

ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

ITEM 4: RESERVED

ITEM 5: OTHER INFORMATION

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
On November 16, 2011, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, in a non-binding advisory vote of the Company's stockholders regarding the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation, the proposed frequency that received the highest number of votes was every "1 Year."  In light of this result and the other factors considered by the Company's Board of Directors in making its original recommendation to the stockholders, the Company's Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next required vote on the frequency of the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or until the Company's Board of Directors determines that a different frequency for such non-binding advisory vote is in the Company's best interests.
