Highlight of Business Operations:

In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we purchased and retired $100.0 million original principal amount of our 2012 Notes for $97.0 million, which resulted in a loss of approximately $1.6 million as a result of applying ASC 470-20. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we purchased and retired an aggregate of $10.0 million original principal amount of the 2012 Notes and 2014 Notes, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.9 million as a result of applying ASC 470-20. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we purchased and retired, at 100% of the original principal amount, $197.0 million of the 2010 Notes, which resulted in a loss of $0.4 million due to the write off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. ASC 470-20 requires us to record gains and losses on the early retirement of our 2012 Notes and our 2014 Notes in the period of derecognition, depending on whether the fair market value at the time of derecognition was greater than, or less than, the carrying value of the debt.

We have funded our operations to date through sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings, capital equipment leases and revenue from product sales. Through public and Rule 144A securities offerings, we have raised approximately $1,053.3 million, net of offering expenses. As of January 1, 2011, we had working capital of approximately $480.9 million, including $158.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $356.4 million at January 2, 2010, including $121.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of January 1, 2011, our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance exceeded our remaining principal amount of 2012 Notes and 2014 Notes by $71.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $112.5 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2011, compared to $207.3 million for the nine months ended January 2, 2010. This decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower repayment of debt. During the second quarter of 2011 we purchased and retired $100.0 million original principal amount of the 2012 Notes for $97.0 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011 we also repaid the $12.9 million balance of a no net cost loan (see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, the remaining $10.0 million balance of our 2010 Notes matured and was paid on July 1, 2010. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010 we purchased and retired $197.0 million original principal amount of the 2010 Notes for $197.0 million. During the first quarter

During fiscal 2004, we completed the private placement of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible subordinated notes due July 1, 2010 (first quarter of fiscal 2011). The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $224.7 million after payment of the underwriting discount and expenses of the offering totaling $5.3 million. The net proceeds from the 1.50% offering were offset by the purchase of $200.0 million of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2005.
