Revenues in Asia increased by $100.4 million, or 8.2%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to increased unit sales of semiconductors used in storage product applications, partially offset by a decrease in unit sales of semiconductors used in networking product applications.

SG&A expense increased by $16.3 million, or 5.8%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase was primarily due to increases in litigation costs and higher sales and marketing expenses, including higher compensation-related expenses as a result of headcount additions, to support increased revenues and design activity. These increases were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation and decreases in general and administrative expenses as a result of our continuing focus on control of expenses. As a percent of revenues, SG&A expense declined from 14.9% in 2010 to 14.5% in 2011 as a result of higher revenues in 2011 as compared to 2010.

SG&A expense increased by $22.2 million, or 8.6%, in 2010 as compared to 2009. The increase was primarily due to the restoration in 2010 of compensation-related expenses that were reduced in 2009, an increase in sales commissions and other sales-related expenditures as a result of increased design wins and revenues in 2010, and higher compensation-related expenditures associated with the acquisition of the 3ware RAID storage adapter business in April 2009. The increase was offset in part by reductions in spending as a result of maintaining tighter expense controls. As a percent of revenues, SG&A expense declined from 16.3% in 2009 to 14.9% in 2010 as a result of higher revenues in 2010 as compared to 2009.
