Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The Company prepared the interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 through May 10, 2010 and for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 through December 26, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”). References to the “Successor” in these condensed consolidated financial statements, notes and in the Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries after its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on May 10, 2010. References to the “Predecessor” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries up to May 10, 2010.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the Company’s opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2011.

Out of Period Adjustments

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company identified certain errors totaling $9.2 million related to uncertain income tax positions in certain foreign locations affecting the periods prior to May 10, 2010 (Predecessor periods). The Company assessed the errors and concluded that such errors were not material to those periods. Accordingly, the correction for the Predecessor periods were recorded as adjustments to increase Goodwill as of the Fresh Start date. Further, the Company identified a $2.8 million adjustment for uncertain tax positions related to the period from May 11, 2010 to December 26, 2010 (Successor periods). The Company also concluded that this adjustment was not material to the Successor periods and is not expected to be material to its projected results of operations for the year ending December 25, 2011; therefore, the adjustment was recorded as an increase to our income tax provision during the three months ended March 27, 2011. There were no such adjustments for the three months ended June 26, 2011.

(1)	May 10, 2010 is the date on which all Predecessor equity incentive plans were cancelled and the Successor’s 2010 Plan became effective.

Predecessor

No stock options were granted in the Predecessor period ended December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 under the Predecessor’s equity plans, all of which were cancelled upon emergence from the Chapter 11 cases.

Successor

The weighted average fair value of the Company’s stock options granted under the Successor’s 2010 Plan during the three months ended June 26, 2011 and the period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 was $8.24 and $5.04 per share, respectively. The weighted average fair value during the six months ended June 26, 2011 was $8.73 per share. 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 June 26, 2011			Six Months Ended June 26, 2011			For the period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010
Expected volatility		56.43	%		56.08	%		58.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.12	%		1.55	%		1.88	%
Expected term (in years)		4.35			4.35			4.30
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0.00	%

As of June 26, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and RSU awards was approximately $55.0 million after reduction for estimated forfeitures. These stock options and RSU awards will generally vest ratably through 2015.

Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and unvested RSUs which are calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Senior Secured Term Loan (the Term Loan)

On May 12, 2011, Spansion LLC amended its Term Loan to reduce the applicable margin on base rate loans from 3.75 percent per annum to 2.50 percent per annum and on Eurodollar rate loans from 4.75 percent per annum to 3.50 percent per annum, and reduce the LIBOR floor on Eurodollar rate loans from 1.75 percent to 1.25 percent, effective as of May 16, 2011. The Company incurred a $2.5 million prepayment penalty associated with the amendment of the Term Loan which was capitalized as a discount to the Term Loan in accordance with the guidance under ASC Topic No. 470, Debt.

At any time prior to May 12, 2012, if the Company makes any prepayment of the Term Loan in connection with certain repricing transactions or effects any amendment of the Term Loan resulting in certain repricing transactions, a prepayment premium of one percent of the amount of the Term Loan being prepaid will be due from the Company.

The amendment also provides for increased allowable limits for capitalized leases, loans to employees, threshold for requiring control agreements on deposit accounts, investments, dispositions, general restricted payments and acquisition of certain bankruptcy claims. Additionally, the amendment permits the sale of the Company’s headquarters building and consignment of equipment and inventory in connection with the provision of services or products.

As of June 26, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all the Term Loan’s covenants, including the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test, Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Capital Expenditures. The following shows the required ratios under these financial covenants and the current ratios as of June 26, 2011:


Financial Covenant	Required Ratio under Term Loan	Actual Ratios as of June 26, 2011

Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio	Greater than 3.5 to 1.0	8.0 to 1.0

Consolidated Leverage Ratio	Less than 3.0 to 1.0	1.6 to 1.0

Capital Expenditures	Less than $150 million during each fiscal year ⁽¹⁾	$45.3 million

(1)	Subject to certain provisions enabling a carry-over of unused amounts to the following fiscal year.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 12, 2011, the Company also amended the Revolving Credit Facility in a fashion similar to those changes made to the Term Loan.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 as compared to immaterial income tax benefits from May11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 and $1.2 million income tax expenses from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 26, 2011 related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations. The income tax expense recorded from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011 including correction for uncertain tax positions of its foreign locations for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to December 26, 2010 of $2.8 million, as compared to immaterial tax benefits from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 and income tax expense of $1.6 million from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010. The income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 26, 2011 excluding the correction, related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations. The income tax expense recorded from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations.

As of June 26, 2011, 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 the deferred tax assets will not be realizable in the foreseeable future.

As of December 26, 2010, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $870.0 million and $214.9 million, respectively. Approximately $533.6 million of the federal net operating loss carry forwards are subject to an annual limitation of $27.2 million. The federal and state net operating losses, if not utilized, expire from 2018 to 2030.

If the Company were to undergo an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such as an offering of its common stock, its ability to utilize its unlimited federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $336.4 million as of December 26, 2010 may be limited under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Company may incur greater tax liabilities than it would in the absence of such a limitation and any incurred liabilities could materially adversely affect it.

Please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the out of period tax adjustments.

12. Fair Value Measurements

As of June 26, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities consisted of those categorized in the table below based upon the fair value hierarchy:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Total financial liabilities	$	—	$	1,799	$	—	$	1,799		$	—	$	1,180	$	—	$	1,180

*	Total short-term investments and cash equivalents excludes cash of $288.0 million and $224.3 million as of June 26, 2011 and December 26, 2010 held in operating accounts, respectively.

As of June 26, 2011, the Company was holding approximately $26.1 million of certificates of deposits, issued by banks in the United States and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as held- to- maturity securities which is reported at amortized cost. The fair value of certificates of deposits is based on either quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, or if such prices are not available, quoted prices from similar assets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. These certificates of deposits are included in Level 2 and in determining the fair value of our interest rate swap, the Company uses the present value of expected cash flows based on market observable interest rate yield curves and interest rate volatility commensurate with the term of each instrument. Since the Company only uses observable inputs in the swap, it is considered a Level 2 valuation.

As of December 26, 2010, the fair value of the treasury bills were based on quoted prices in active markets for identical terms and included in Level 1.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is currently exposed to the variability of future quarterly interest payments on its Term Loan due to changes in the LIBOR interest rate above the floor rate of 1.25 percent. To mitigate this interest rate risk and also to comply with the requirement of hedging then required in the initial Term Loan agreement, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings in the third quarter of 2010. This hedging requirement was removed when the Term Loan was amended in November 2010. However, the interest rate swaps remained in place as of June 26, 2011.

The Company has approximately $249.8 million outstanding under the Term Loan as of June 26, 2011. Under the swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million and expiration date of May 17, 2013, the Company pays the independent swap counterparty a fixed rate of 2.42 percent and, in exchange, the swap counterparty pays the Company an interest rate equal to the floor rate of 2 percent or three-month LIBOR, whichever is higher.

As of November 9, 2010, due to amendment of the Term Loan, the critical terms of the swaps and the Term Loan were no longer matched. Accordingly, the swaps no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a result, the mark-to-market of the swaps has been reported as a component of interest expense since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has recorded a loss of approximately $0.7 million, $1.1 million, and $1.4 million in interest expenses related to the swaps for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 and for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to December 26, 2010, respectively. There was no interest rate swap in the Predecessor.

14. Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Matters

Purchase Commitments

The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for inventory and some nonproduction items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of June 26, 2011, the total purchase commitments were $195.5 million, which are due through 2015.

Guarantees

Product Warranties

The Company generally offers a one-year limited warranty for its Flash memory products. See Note 9 for more information relating to changes in the Company’s liability for product warranty.

Indemnities

During the normal course of business, the Company makes certain indemnities and commitments under which it 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. The Company believes that substantially all of our indemnities and commitments provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments it is obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to our indemnities and commitments because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities and commitments would not be material to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 26, 2011, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $18.7 million including interest and penalties. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

We primarily focus on serving the Embedded Flash memory market to customers worldwide. Our Flash memory products primarily store data and software code for microprocessors, microcontrollers and other programmable semiconductors which run applications in a broad range of electronics systems. These electronic systems include computing and communications, automotive and industrial, consumer and gaming, wireless and machine-to-machine, or M2M devices. In addition to Flash memory products, 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.

Our Flash memory solutions are incorporated in products from leading original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs. Our products are designed to accommodate various voltage, interface and memory density requirements for a wide range of applications and customer platforms. The majority of our new product designs are based on our proprietary two-bit-per-cell MirrorBit technology which has a simpler cell architecture requiring fewer manufacturing steps, supporting higher yields and lower costs as compared to competing floating gate NOR Flash memory technology.

Our net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010, due to the reduced impact of our fresh start accounting adjustments which began in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and an increase in unit demand in our embedded Flash memory business in second quarter 2011. Our gross margin also increased due to the reduced impact of our fresh start accounting adjustments and lower expenses from improved factory utilization offset by declining ASPs in the wireless market.

During the first quarter of 2011, we identified certain errors totaling $9.2 million related to uncertain income tax positions in certain foreign locations affecting the periods prior to May 10, 2010 (Predecessor periods). We assessed the errors and concluded that such errors were not material to those periods. Accordingly, the correction for the Predecessor periods were recorded as adjustments to increase Goodwill as of the Fresh Start date. Further, we identified a $2.8 million adjustment for uncertain tax positions related to the period from May 11, 2010 to December 26, 2010 (Successor periods). We also concluded that this adjustment was not material to the Successor periods and is not expected to be material to its projected results of operations for the year ending December 25, 2011; therefore, the adjustment was recorded as an increase to our income tax provision during the three months ended March 27, 2011. There were no such adjustments for the three months ended June 26, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates or significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 as compared to the discussion in Part II, Item 7 and in Note 1 to our financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2010.

Combined Quarterly Financial Results of the Predecessor and Successor

In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 Cases and the adoption of fresh start accounting, the results of operations for 2010 separately present the Successor period and the Predecessor period. Although distinct reporting periods, the effects of emergence and fresh start accounting did not have a material impact on the comparability of our results of operations between these periods, except as discussed below. For purposes of this MD&A, we combined the results of operations for (1) the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 with the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 and (2) the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 with the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010. We then compare the combined results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 with the three and six months ended June 26, 2011.

We believe the combined results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 provide management and investors with a more meaningful perspective on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 and our ongoing financial and operational performance and trends than if we did not combine the results of operations of the Predecessor and the Successor in this manner.

Results of Operations

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 gives effect to (i) the Plan of Reorganization and emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and the application of fresh start accounting on May 10, 2010 and (ii) the issuance of the notes. The information has been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions described below, (ii) are factually supportable and (iii) are expected to have a continuing impact on us. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 is presented on a basis to reflect the adjustments as if each of the transactions described below had occurred on December 28, 2009, the first day of the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010. A pro forma balance sheet has not been presented as the transactions described below are reflected in the historical balance sheet as of December 26, 2010.

The Company believes that the presentation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical periods’ operating results and that it assists investors in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by making the adjustments as described in more detail below. However, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been reported had the Plan of Reorganization and emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and the application of fresh start accounting and the issuance of the notes in fact occurred on the first day of the respective period presented for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations, or indicative of our future results. In addition, our historical consolidated financial statements will not be comparable to our financial statements following emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases due to the effects of the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization as well as adjustments for fresh start accounting. See the section titled “Adjustments Relating to Fresh Start Accounting” below for further information.

Adjustments Relating to Fresh Start Accounting

The “Fresh Start” column of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to adjustments relating to fresh start accounting pursuant to ASC 852 Reorganizations. In accordance with ASC 852, if the reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and if holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity, the entity shall adopt fresh start accounting upon its emergence from Chapter 11. The loss of control contemplated by a reorganization plan must be substantive and not temporary. That is, the new controlling interest must not revert to the stockholders existing immediately before the plan was filed or confirmed. We concluded that we met the criteria under ASC 852 to adopt fresh start accounting upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on May 10, 2010.

In connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting, we revalued our tangible and intangible assets as of the emergence date, resulting in a higher fair value of our tangible fixed assets and the recognition of intangible amortizable assets. The effect of these fair value adjustments was an increase in the depreciation and amortization charge for such assets in reporting periods subsequent to our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, which will increase the costs of goods sold and decrease gross profit margins in future periods.

For additional information regarding adjustments relating to fresh start accounting, see Notes 1 through 6 to this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

Adjustments Relating to the Financing

The “Financing” column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the repayment of $195.6 million of the original $450 million amount borrowed under the Term Loan using the proceeds from the notes. The effect of this pro forma adjustment will be lower interest expense as a result of the settlement of the FRNs and lower finance charges due to the elimination of the write-off of debt financing costs upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.

For additional information regarding adjustments relating to this financing, see Note 4 to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

(1)

Fresh start accounting requires the elimination of deferred revenue (and its associated deferred cost of sales) when no future performance obligation is required. No adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to recognize such eliminated deferred revenue and the related cost of sales of $37.0 million and $27.8 million respectively, as such adjustments are non-recurring in nature.

(2)

Fresh start accounting requires the revaluation of inventory to its fair value on the Emergence Date. Accordingly, the value of inventory was increased by $98.4 million on the Emergence Date. As a result, we recognized additional cost of sales of approximately $18.6 million for the revaluation. No adjustment has been made to reduce such additional cost in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as it is non-recurring in nature

(3)

Fresh start accounting requires the revaluation of our tangible and intangible assets to fair value, resulting in a higher fair value of our existing tangible fixed assets and the recognition of new intangible, amortizable assets namely developed technology, customer relationships and trade name. The effect of these fair value adjustments was primarily to increase the depreciation and amortization charge relating to these fixed assets and intangible assets in reporting periods subsequent to the Emergence Date, which will primarily increase our costs of goods sold and decrease gross profit margins in future periods. The pro forma adjustment to increase depreciation and amortization expense by $13.8 million reflects the average daily depreciation and amortization rate for the period from May 11, 2010 to December 26, 2010 applied to the period from March 29, 2010 to June 27, 2010.

(4)

On February 9, 2010, we borrowed $450 million pursuant to the Term Loan. The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with cash proceeds from other sources of cash available to us, were used in full to partially discharge the remaining balance of claims relating to holders of our Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (the FRNs). See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010 for more information.

On November 9, 2010, we completed an offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $195.6 million after related offering expenses. These proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our Term Loan.

The “Financing” column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the repayment of $195.6 million of the original $450 million Term Loan, using the proceeds from the notes. The effect of this pro forma adjustment will be a lower interest and financing charge to as a result of issuing debt with a lower rate of interest and utilizing the proceeds from the notes to partially pay down existing higher-interest debt. The lower interest expense is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as it is recurring in nature.

The following assumptions were utilized in computing the pro-forma impact of the Financing adjustment:

The FRNs were settled as of December 28, 2009 and there was no interest charge relating to the FRNs in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 27, 2010, a total interest saving of $3.1 million;

The Term Loan was effective as of December 28, 2009, which was the beginning of pro forma fiscal 2010;

$195.6 million of the original $450 million Term Loan was paid down from the proceeds of the $200 million notes effective as of December 28, 2009, which was the beginning of pro forma fiscal 2010. Additionally, a prepayment penalty charge of approximately $2.0 million was incurred in fiscal 2010 due to early paydown of the Term Loan; and

The effective interest rates of 6.50% and 7.875% on $250 million of the Term Loan and the $200 million notes, respectively, were effective throughout the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the pro forma three months ended June 27, 2010.

Further, as part of fresh start accounting, the Company had written off the unamortized debt financing costs for the $450 million Term Loan as the fair value of the debt was deemed to be at face value. The benefit to interest and other income represents the reversal of such debt financing costs that were charged to the consolidated statement of operations from February 9, 2010 to May 10, 2010. This resulted in a net benefit adjustment amounting to $3.3 million.

(5)	The Company has net operating loss carry forwards and a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. As a result, there is no tax impact on the adjustments identified in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for pro forma three months ended June 27, 2010.

(6)

Pro forma basic and diluted per-share numbers used in the per share calculation reflect the issuance of shares of the Successor and the cancellation of the shares of the Predecessor at the Emergence Date as if such shares were issued and cancelled, respectively, on December 29, 2009, which was the beginning of pro forma fiscal 2010. Additionally, initial vesting of restricted stock awards that occurred on May 10, 2010 was assumed to have occurred on December 28, 2009 and quarterly thereafter. Such vested restricted stock shares are included in the pro forma basic per-share numbers and unvested restricted stock awards are included in the pro forma diluted per-share numbers using the treasury stock method.

Total Net Sales

Total net sales for the three months ended June 26, 2011 increased by $43.1 million compared to the pro forma total net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The overall revenue increase for the quarter consisted of (i) $36.6 million higher deferred revenue loss in the three months ended June 27, 2010 due to our adoption of fresh start accounting on the emergence date compared to the three months ended June 26, 2011 and (ii) $24.3 million increase in revenues predominantly driven by increased unit shipments of embedded products offset by a decline in average selling price (ASP) in the wireless market of $20.5 million.

Total net sales for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 were $126.3 million and $129.4 million, respectively. The Successor’s net sales were adversely impacted by approximately $37.0 million attributed to deferred revenue lost as a result of the adoption fresh start accounting.

Total net sales for the six months ended June 26, 2011 increased by $58.7 million compared to the pro forma total net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2010. The increase was primarily due to (i) $35.2 million higher deferred revenue loss in the six months ended June 27, 2010 due to our adoption of fresh start accounting on the emergence date compared to the six months ended June 26, 2011 and (ii) $54.5 million increase in revenues predominantly driven by increased unit shipments of embedded products offset by a decline in ASPs in the wireless market of $33.8 million.

Total net sales for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 and the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 were $403.6 million and $129.4 million, respectively. Aside from the difference in the number of days in the Successor and Predecessor periods, sales were relatively consistent between these two periods except for the adverse impacted of approximately $37.0 million attributed to deferred revenue lost in the Successor period as a result of the adoption fresh start accounting.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin increased by 8 percent or $32.4 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 compared to the pro forma gross margin for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to: (i) a reduced impact of fresh start accounting related adjustments of $34.8 million (mainly due to greater amounts of lost deferred revenue upon emergence from bankruptcy during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011) and (ii) lower expenses resulting from operating efficiencies in factory utilization of $11.2 million. The gross margin increase was partially offset by $16.1 million decline in ASPs in the wireless market.

Our gross margin for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 was 32.1% and 13.9%, respectively. The lower gross margin in the Successor period was primarily impacted by fresh start accounting adjustments as a result of our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, including approximately (i) $18.6 million amortization of inventory mark-up, (ii) a $27.7 million loss of deferred margin and (iii) $13.6 million of higher depreciation expense.

Our gross margin increased by 5 percent or $42.2 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011, compared to the pro forma gross margin for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and consisted of the following: (i) approximately $30.5 million increase due to improved factory utilization and efficiency from restructuring and consolidation of back-end manufacturing operations and (ii) a reduced impact of fresh start accounting related adjustments (mainly due to greater amounts of lost deferred revenue upon emergence from bankruptcy during the six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2011) of $28.0 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of $17.4 million due to a decline in ASPs in the wireless market net of better pricing in the embedded market.

Our gross margin for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 and the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 was 31.9% and 13.9%, respectively. The lower gross margin in the Successor period was as described above.

Research and Development

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2011 increased by $4.9 million compared to the pro forma R&D expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The increase was primarily due to (i) net impairment charges of $3.8 million relating to R&D tools and equipment that had been held for sale after closing a design facility in Sunnyvale and (ii) increase in labor costs of $1.0 million due to increased headcount and employee compensation and benefits.

R&D expenses for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 were approximately $13.4 million and included among other items, approximately $5.3 million of labor costs; approximately $2.4 million of expenses relating to outside service providers; approximately $1.5 million of material costs and approximately $1.5 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

R&D expenses for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $12.1 million and included, among other items, approximately (i) $6.2 million of labor costs, (ii) $2.1 million of expenses relating to outside service providers, (iii) $0.9 million of material costs and (iv) $1.4 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

R&D expenses for the six months ended June 26, 2011 increased by $11.5 million compared to the pro forma R&D expenses for the six months ended June 27, 2010. The increase in R&D expenses was attributable to approximately (i) $5.7 million of net impairment charges relating to R&D tools and equipment held for sale after closing a design facility in Sunnyvale (ii) an increase of amortization expense of $2.0 million due to revaluation of license contracts upon emergence (iii) an increase in labor costs of $3.7 million due to headcount and employee compensation and benefits, and (iv) an increase in material costs of $1.1 million associated with new product development. These increases were offset by reduced expense of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 26, 2011 due to closure of R&D operations in certain foreign final manufacturing locations.

R&D expenses for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $35.1 million and included approximately (i) $22.8 million of labor costs, (ii) $3.7 million of expenses relating to outside service providers, (iii) $1.8 million of material costs and (iv) $4.3 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

Sales, General and Administrative

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2011 decreased by $28.1 million compared to the pro SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to (i) $31.3 million relating to the Samsung patent litigation settlement (refer to Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) which resulted in a reduction of our legal expense reserves and (ii) a reduction of $2.0 million in information technology expenses primarily due to data center migration resulting in lower costs. The decrease in SG&A expenses is partially offset by (i) higher labor cost due to increase in headcount and employee compensation and benefits of approximately $3.9 million, and (ii) an increase in operating expenses of $1.5 million for our Japanese subsidiary, Nihon Spansion Limited, having operated for the full quarter during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to only two months in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2010. Nihon Spansion Limited commenced operations in May 2010.

SG&A expenses for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 were approximately $18.3 million, and included, among other items, approximately (i) $9.0 million of labor costs, (ii) $5.0 million of expenses relating to outside service providers and (iii) $1.9 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

SG&A expenses for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $20.5 million and included, among other items, approximately (i) $8.0 million of labor costs, (ii) $7.4 million of expenses relating to outside service providers and (iii) $1.6 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 26, 2011 decreased by $36.3 million compared to the pro forma SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 27, 2010. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to (i) a reduction of $40.2 million in our legal expense reserves principally resulting from the Samsung patent litigation settlement (refer to Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) (ii) a reduction of approximately $3.3 million in information technology expenses primarily due to data center migration resulting in lower costs and (iii) a reduction of $1.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts. These decreases were partially offset by approximately (i) $5.4 million of higher labor costs due to increase in headcount and employee compensation and benefits costs, and (ii) an increase in operating expenses of $3.9 million for Nihon Spansion Limited having operated the full six months during the 2011 period as compared to only two months in the corresponding period in fiscal 2010.

SG&A expenses for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $68.1 million and included, among other items, approximately (i) $25.9 million of labor costs; approximately $25.1 million of expenses relating to outside service providers and approximately $6.6 million of building and other allocated operating expenses.

Restructuring Credits

There were no restructuring credits for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2011.

Restructuring credits for the three months and six months ended June 27, 2010 consisted of approximately $2.8 million which included (i) a $3.3 million gain on the sale of the fixed assets after closing a design facility in Sunnyvale (ii) a $1.5 million gain from the sale of the Suzhou plant (iii) a $1.3 million charge relating to employee severance pay and benefits, professional fees, and relocation of property, plant and equipment, and (iv) a $0.8 million charge relating to depreciation and write-off of fixed assets.

There were no restructuring credits for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010. Restructuring credits in the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and the period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $2.8 million due to approximately (i) $1.4 million of employee severance charges and (ii) $6.5 million of fixed asset relocation, depreciation and disposal charges, and which were offset by approximately $5.5 million and $5.2 million of gains on sale of fixed assets and sale of our Suzhou plant, respectively.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net, decreased by approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 compared to the pro forma interest and other income (expense), net, for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to $3.0 million in impairment charges on certain equity investments in privately held companies during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. There were no such charges during the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we also incurred fees of approximately $0.8 million relating to the amendment to our Term Loan.

Interest and other income (expense), net decreased by approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011 compared to the pro forma interest and other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 27, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to (i) $3.0 million in impairment charges on certain equity investments in privately held companies during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and (ii) $0.8 million of fees relating to the amendment of the Term Loan. This was partially offset by realized and unrealized net gain of $0.5 million on foreign currency transactions for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Interest and other income (expense), net for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 was approximately $0.4 million. Interest and other income (expense), net for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and the period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 was a charge of approximately $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which was mainly due to $3.0 million in impairment charges on certain investments in privately held companies.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011, compared to the pro forma interest expense for the three months ended June 27, 2010 primarily due to lower interest expense of $0.7 million as a result of renegotiation of license and software contracts.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011, compared to the pro forma interest expense for the six months ended June 27, 2010 primarily due to lower interest expense of $1.7 million due to renegotiation of license and software contracts and $0.5 million reduction in interest on capital leases as a result of lease buy-outs which is offset by $1.1 million fair market valuation loss of interest rate swap in fiscal 2011 compared to none in fiscal 2010.

Interest expense for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010 was approximately $4.8 million, of which approximately $4.7 million was related to interest costs associated with our Term Loan.

Interest expense for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 was approximately $11.2 million, of which approximately $10.4 million was related to interest costs associated with our FRNs and Term Loan. Interest expense for the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 was approximately $30.6 million, of which approximately $28.3 million was related to interest costs associated with our FRNs and Term Loan.

Reorganization Items

There were no reorganization items in the three and six months ended June 26, 2011.

Reorganization items of approximately $364.9 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 consist of a $434.0 million gain from discharge of pre-petition obligations, partially offset by (i) $42.4 million of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 Cases (ii) $12.7 million of debt financing cost (iii) $10.8 million in expenses related to accrued claims and cancellation of the Predecessor’s equity incentive plans and (iv) $7.0 million of withholding tax liability in a foreign subsidiary.

Reorganization items of approximately $370.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 consist of a $434.0 million gain from discharge of pre-petition obligations and a $22.5 million gain from approved settlement of rejected capital leases and various license agreements. The overall gain was partially offset by (i) $59.5 million in professional fees related to the Chapter 11 Cases (ii) $12.7 million of debt financing cost (iii) $10.8 million in expenses related to accrued claims and cancellation of the Predecessor’s equity incentive plans and (iv) $7.0 million of withholding tax liability in a foreign subsidiary.

There were no reorganization items for fiscal 2010 in the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010. Reorganization items in the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 were approximately $364.9 million and $370.3 million, respectively, as described above.

Income Tax Provision

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 as compared to $1.2 million income tax expense for the pro forma three months ended June 27, 2010. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 26, 2011 and June 27, 2010 related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations. We recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011 including correction for uncertain tax positions of our foreign locations of $2.8 million, as compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million for the six months pro forma period ended June 27, 2010. The income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 26, 2011, excluding the correction noted previously, related to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations.

Due to our emergence from bankruptcy, in the six months pro forma period ended June 27, 2010, we also recorded an increase of $12.0 million in deferred tax liabilities consisting of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $10.0 million and interest and penalties of $2.0 million in connection with certain intercompany arrangements.

As of June 26, 2011, 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 that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable in the foreseeable future.

We recorded immaterial income tax benefits for the Successor period from May 11, 2010 to June 27, 2010. Income tax expense for the Predecessor period from March 29, 2010 to May 10, 2010 and period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010 was $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, primarily due to tax provisions in profitable foreign locations.

(1)	The other long-term liabilities comprise payment commitments under long-term software license agreements with vendors and asset retirement obligations.

(2)

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 related principally to inventory and other items. UPCs exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.

(3)

As of June 26, 2011, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $18.7 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

As of June 26, 2011, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $314.1 million. As of June 26, 2011, the availability under our Revolving Credit facility was $16.6 million after deducting the standby letters of credit of $1.4 million issued to certain vendors, of which we had borrowed no amount.

Our future uses of cash are expected to be primarily for working capital, debt servicing, capital expenditures, purchase of our bankruptcy claims and other contractual obligations. We also expect the remaining Plan of Reorganization disbursements and expenses incurred for outstanding claims resolution will continue using cash from operations for at least the entire fiscal 2011 or until all outstanding claims are resolved. We believe our anticipated cash flows from operations, current cash balances, and our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to make remaining Plan of Reorganization disbursements and expenses incurred for outstanding claims resolution, to fund working capital requirements and operations, for debt servicing, and to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents consisted of demand deposits, certificates of deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and money market fund with a total amount of $292.3 million as of June 26, 2011.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operations was $26.5 million during the six months ended June 26, 2011, primarily due to net income of $11.1 million and net non-cash items of $116.5 million, which were offset by net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $101.2 million. The net decrease in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the decrease of $103.1 million in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued compensation and benefits and other liabilities. Net non-cash items primarily consisted of $93.0 million of depreciation and amortization, $9.6 million of stock compensation costs, $8.3 million of amortization of inventory markup relating to fresh start accounting, and $7.6 million of asset impairment charges, partially offset by $1.1 million gain from sale of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used by operations was $71,000 during the six months ended June 27, 2010, primarily due to net income of $345.4 million, which was offset by net non-cash items of $344.9 million. Net non-cash items primarily consisted of $434.0 million gain on discharge of pre-petition obligations and $22.5 million gain from approved settlement of rejected capital leases and various licenses, partially offset by (i) $69.9 million of depreciation and amortization, (ii) $18.6 million of amortization for inventory fresh-start markup starting emergence in the Successor, (iii) a $13.0 million write-off of financing costs relating to certain debts in the Predecessor, and (iv) $9.0 million of stock compensation costs.

The net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $28.3 million was primarily due to increases in (i) payables, accrued liabilities and accrued compensation and benefits of $29.7 million, (ii) receivables of $14.1 million, (iii) $6.3 million in prepaids and other current assets, and (iv) $6.5 million in deferred income, which was partially offset by a decrease in inventories of $27.8 million. Net non-cash items primarily consisted of approximately (i) $26.1 million of depreciation and amortization, (ii) $18.6 million of amortization of inventory markup relating to fresh start accounting and (iii) $1.9 million of stock compensation costs, partially offset by a non-cash gain of approximately $1.3 million from sale of the Suzhou plant.

Net cash provided by operations was approximately $1.4 million during the Predecessor period from December 28, 2009 to May 10, 2010, primarily due to net income of approximately $363.6 million and the net increase in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $27.8 million, offset by the net non-cash items of approximately $390.0 million. The net increase in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $27.8 million was due to increases in (i) payables, accrued liabilities and accrued compensation and benefits of $23.2 million and (ii) receivables of $17.3 million, which was offset by increases in (i) inventories of $7.2 million and (ii) prepaids and current assets of $3.9 million, and a reduction in deferred income of $3.2 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $21.0 million during the six months ended June 26, 2011, primarily due to (i) $28.8 million of capital expenditures used to purchase of property, plant and equipment and (ii) $21.8 million used to purchase marketable securities, which were offset by $4.7 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment and $25.0 million in proceeds from the redemption of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $43.1 million during the six months ended June 26, 2011 primarily due to (i) $41.0 million for the purchase of bankruptcy claims and (ii) $6.0 million of payments on debt and capital lease obligations, offset by $4.4 million of proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used by financing activities was $150.9 million during the six months ended June 27, 2010 primarily due to payments of (i) $693.9 million payments on debt and capital lease obligations, partially offset by net issuance costs of $438.1 million related to the Term Loan and $104.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance and sale of shares of common stock in the Rights Offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 liability related to our indemnities and commitments because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities and commitments would not be material to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We do not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of SEC Regulation S-K, as of June 26, 2011.

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. At June 26, 2011, we had approximately $259.2 million held in demand deposit accounts, approximately $28.8 million held in overnight money market funds and approximately $26.1 million invested in certificates of deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) of which $4.1 million are with maturity terms of 31 to 90 days, $7.2 million are with a maturity term of 91 to 180 days, and remaining $14.2 million are with a maturity term of 181 to 365 days at the time of purchase. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. Our cash and short-term investment position is highly liquid and our exposure to interest rate risk is minimal.

As of June 26, 2011, approximately 45 percent of the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under our third party debt obligations were fixed rate, and approximately 55 percent of our total debt obligations were variable rate comprised of the Term Loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $249.8 million as of June 26, 2011. The Term Loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.25 percent. While LIBOR is below 1.25 percent, our interest expense will not change along with short-term change in interest rate environment. When LIBOR is above 1.25 percent, changes in interest rates associated with the term loan could 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 $2.5 million annually.

As of June 26, 2011, we have a series of interests rate swaps with a financial institution to partially economically hedge the variability of interest payments attributable to fluctuations in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. See Note 13 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Default Risk

We intend to actively monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities and security classes in which we invest. We believe that we take a conservative approach to investing our funds in that our policy is to invest only in highly-rated securities with relatively short maturities, and we do not invest in securities we believe involve a higher degree of risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our sales, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese yen and other foreign currencies were 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 both U.S. dollars and Japanese yen; and

•

some fixed asset purchases are denominated in Japanese yen and European Union euros.

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. The objective of these contracts is to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements to our operating results. We do not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

We had an aggregate of $23.7 million (notional amount) of short-term foreign currency forward contracts denominated in Japanese yen outstanding as of June 26, 2011. The unrealized gain related to the foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended June 26, 2011 was not material. 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. However, we cannot assure you that these strategies will be effective or that transaction losses can be minimized or forecasted accurately. In particular, we generally cover only a portion of our foreign currency exchange exposure. We cannot assure you that these activities will eliminate foreign exchange rate exposure. Failure to eliminate this exposure 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 26, 2011 and December 26, 2010.


	June 26, 2011						December 26, 2010
	Notional Amount		Average Contract Rate		Estimated Fair Value		Notional Amount		Average Contract Rate		Estimated Fair Value

ITEM 4.

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 six months ended June 26, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LSI, Agere v. Spansion Inc., et al

Spansion v. Samsung Patent Infringement Litigation

Spansion was a several patent-related proceedings involving Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. On June 15, 2011, Spansion and Samsung entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) that settles all outstanding patent matters between them as well as granting each other seven-year limited patent cross-licenses.
