RF Micro Devices' business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties,
including variability in operating results, risks associated with the
impact of global macroeconomic and credit conditions on our business
and the business of our suppliers and customers, our reliance on a few
large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue, the rate of
growth and development of wireless markets, our ability to bring new
products to market, our reliance on inclusion in third party reference
designs for a portion of our revenue, our ability to manage channel
partner and customer relationships, risks associated with the operation
of our wafer fabrication, molecular beam epitaxy, assembly and test
and tape and reel facilities, our ability to complete acquisitions and
integrate acquired companies, including the risk that we may not realize
expected synergies from our business combinations, our ability to attract
and retain skilled personnel and develop leaders, variability in production
yields, raw material costs and availability, our ability to reduce costs
and improve margins in response to declining average selling prices,
our ability to adjust production capacity in a timely fashion in response
to changes in demand for our products, dependence on gallium arsenide
(GaAs) for the majority of our products, dependence on third parties,
and substantial reliance on international sales and operations. These
and other risks and uncertainties, which are described in more detail
in RF Micro Devices' most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other
reports and statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
could cause actual results and developments to be materially different
