Item 5. Other Events.

The Company announced an extension of its manufacturing relationship with IBM. As a result, the Company expects to report a non-cash charge in the first quarter of 2004, estimated to be approximately $14 million after tax, associated primarily with impaired excess equipment.

Separately, Intersil concluded a routine audit exam with the Internal Revenue Service related to the 1999 and 2000 tax years. The result of this settlement will be a one-time gain of $15.9 million, which will also be recognized in the first quarter. The company currently expects that the net impact of these one-time items will result in a slight increase to GAAP earnings for the quarter.
