Kurtzweil Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Cirrus Logic, Inc. 2901 Via Fortuna Austin, TX 78746 Re: Cirrus Logic, Inc. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended March 26, 2005 Filed May 27, 2005 File No. 000-17795 Dear Mr. Kurtzweil: We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in future filings in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 8-K filed October 19, 2005 1. We note that you present your non-GAAP measures in the form of statements of operations. That format may be confusing to investors as it also reflects several non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted interest income, net, adjusted other expense, net, adjusted income (loss) before income taxes and loss from discontinued operations, adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted basic and diluted income (loss) per share which have not been identified or described to investors. In fact, it appears that management does not use all of these non-GAAP measures but they are shown here as a result of the presentation format. Please note that Instruction 2 to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K requires that when furnishing information under this item you must provide all the disclosures required by paragraph (e)(1)(i) of Item 10 of Regulation S-K and FAQ 8 Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures dated June 13, 2003 for each non-GAAP measure presented. In addition, the reconciliation you have provided does not meet the requirements of Regulation G. You should explain why you believe each measure provides useful information to investors. * To eliminate investor confusion, please remove the non-GAAP statements of operations format from future filings and only disclose those non-GAAP measures used by management with the appropriate reconciliations. * Otherwise, confirm that you will revise your Forms 8-K in future periods to provide all the disclosures required by Item 10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K and FAQ 8 Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for each non-GAAP measure presented in the statement. We may have further comment. As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish a cover letter that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. When sending supplemental information regarding this filing, please include the following ZIP+4 code in our address: 20549-6010. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments. We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that: * the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; * staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
