1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (“Pericom” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 28, 2015, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014. This unaudited quarterly information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Pericom and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2014.

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The three and nine month periods ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 each had 13 and 39 week periods, respectively.

The Company participates in a dynamic high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations: advances and trends in new technologies; competitive pressures in the form of new products or price reductions on current products; changes in the overall demand for products offered by the Company; changes in customer relationships; acquisitions and the subsequent integration of the acquired entity with the Company; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory or other factors; risks associated with changes in domestic and international economic and/or political conditions or regulations and environmental laws; availability of necessary components; interruptions at wafer suppliers and subcontractors; fluctuations in currencies given the Company’s sales and operations heavily weighted and paid in foreign currencies; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pericom Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pericom Global Limited (“PGL”), PSE Technology Corporation (“PSE-TW”), and Pericom Asia Limited (“PAL”). PGL has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pericom International Limited (“PIL”) and Pericom Semiconductor (HK) Limited (“PHK”). In addition, PAL has three subsidiaries, PSE Technology (Shandong) Corporation ("PSE-SD") and Pericom Technology Yangzhou Corporation (“PSC-YZ”) for the Jinan, China and Yangzhou, China operations, respectively, and Pericom Technology Inc. (“PTI”). The Company eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions upon consolidation.

FISCAL PERIOD – For purposes of reporting the financial results, the Company’s fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to the end of June. The year ended June 28, 2014 is referred to as fiscal year 2014 or fiscal 2014, whereas the current fiscal year 2015 or fiscal 2015 will end on June 27, 2015. Both fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015 contain 52 weeks or 364 days. Periodically, the Company adds a 53rd week to a year in order to end that year on the Saturday closest to the end of June.

WARRANTY – The Company offers a standard one-year product replacement warranty. In the past, the Company has not had to accrue for a general warranty reserve, but assesses the level and materiality of return material authorizations (“RMA”s) and determines whether it is appropriate to accrue for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized. On occasion, management may determine to accept product returns beyond the standard one-year warranty period. In those instances, the Company accrues for the estimated cost at the time management decides to accept the return. Because of the Company’s standardized manufacturing processes and product testing procedures, returns of defective product are infrequent and the quantities have not been significant. Accordingly, historical warranty costs have not been material.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not yet been determined.
