NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Fiscal Years

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress” or the “Company”) reports on a fiscal-year basis. We end our quarters on the Sunday closest to the end of the applicable calendar quarter, except in a 53-week fiscal year, in which case the additional week falls into the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. Fiscal 2011 has 52 weeks and fiscal 2010 had 52 weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended on July 3, 2011 and the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on July 4, 2010.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial information included therein. The financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard amending U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) fair value measurements and disclosures for the purpose of ensuring that fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same across both U.S. GAAP and International Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The standard contains amendments changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changing a particular principle for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning January 2, 2012. Additionally, the standard expands certain disclosure requirements, including qualitative disclosures selected to level 3 fair value measurements. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect this new standard to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income that increases comparability between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity and instead requires presenting in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning January 2, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.

NOTE 2. DIVESTITURE

As part of Cypress’s continued efforts to focus on programmable products including our flagship PSoC^® programmable system-on-chip solutions and our TrueTouch™ touch-sensing controllers, we divested our image sensors product families and sold it to ON Semiconductor Corporation (ON) on February 27, 2011.

Product Families / Businesses	Reportable Segment	Buyer	Total Consideration
The image sensors product families	Memory Products Division	ON Semiconductor	$34.0 million

In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a gain of $34.3 million. We received $14.9 million in cash in March of 2011 and received the remaining $19.1 million on April 29, 2011. The following table summarizes the components of the gain:

	Image Sensors
	(In thousands)
Cash proceeds	$	34,025
Assets sold:
Inventories		(3,617	)
Prepaid and other assets		(2,003	)
Property, plant and equipment		(1,178	)
Liabilities disposed of:
Accounts payable		1,508
Other liabilities		3,416
Taxes payable		1,129
Customer advances		1,239
Transaction and other costs		(228	)
Gain on divestiture	$	34,291

In connection with the divestiture of the image sensor product families, we transferred approximately 80 employees to ON Semiconductor. In addition, we have entered into a transition service agreement (“TSA”) with ON where we will act as an agent and provide certain services related to shipping, manufacturing, planning and general administrative functions including the billing and collection of shipments to ON customers and payments to vendors for manufacturing activities. As a result of the TSA we may end up with a net payable or receivable to or from ON as we collect receivables and make payments to vendors on behalf of ON. As of July 3, 2011 the TSA resulted in a $3.3 million payable to ON by Cypress and is reflected in “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We anticipate providing services under the TSA through the third quarter of 2011.

NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill at July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 was $31.8 million. The Consumer and Computation Division (“CCD”) is the only reportable business segment with goodwill.

NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, we recorded restructuring charges of $3.8.million and $4.5.million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $0.2 million and a net charge of $0.2 million, respectively. The restructuring benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2010, included a $2.4 million gain on the sale of certain equipment in our Texas facility. The determination of when we accrue for severance and benefits costs, and which accounting standard applies, depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under a one-time benefit arrangement or under an on-going benefit arrangement.

Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan which allows us to continue to allocate and align our resources to the business units that we expect will drive future development and revenue growth (“Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan”). Restructuring activities related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Provision	$	4,464
Cash payments		(1,277	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	3,187

Restructuring balances under the 2011 Plan related primarily to personnel costs.

Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 we implemented a restructuring plan to exit certain of our back-end manufacturing operations located in the Philippines (“Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan”). These actions are intended to reduce the cost of our back-end manufacturing by selling our labor intensive assembly and test operations to lower cost third-party subcontractors in other parts of Asia and by the continued shifting of these operations to our fully automated back-end processes.

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	2,206
Provision		407
Cash payments		(214	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		2,399
Cash payments		(67	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	2,332

Under the Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring charges of zero and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011. No charges were recorded in the second half of 2010. As of July 3, 2011, our restructuring reserve of $2.3 million was related to personnel costs associated with severance and benefits of our employees. We expect to eliminate approximately 300 manufacturing employees and 200 contractors or approximately 34% of our Philippines plant workforce by the end of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan as part of a company-wide cost saving initiative which continued into 2011 aimed to reduce operating costs in response to the economic downturn (“Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan”). Restructuring actives related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	1,106
Provision		322
Non-cash		257
Cash payments		(373	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		1,312
Provision		(733	)
Cash payments		(415	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	164

As a result of the Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan, we have eliminated approximately 835 positions. In the second quarter of 2011, we substantially completed the remaining actions we had for this plan.

Assets Held For Sale:

In fiscal 2007 we implemented a restructuring plan to exit our manufacturing facility located in Round Rock, Texas (“Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plan”). The Texas facility ceased operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The net book value of the remaining restructured assets that were classified as held for sale and included in “Other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $6.9 million as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

We had expected to complete the disposal of the restructured assets by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009; however, due to the downturn and uncertainty in the commercial real estate market, we were unable to secure a buyer for the Texas facility. In response, during fiscal 2010 we revised the asking price for the property we expect to sell the facility within the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance of this and our ability to complete the sale of any restructured assets may be impacted by the current economic and credit conditions.

On a quarterly basis we continue to incur expenses related to ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Texas facility until we complete the sale of the property.

Valuation Techniques:

We use quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets to determine the fair value for our Level 1 financial instruments, which include U.S. treasuries, money market funds and marketable equity securities. Our employee deferred compensation plan is classified as Level 1 as the plan invests mutual funds, marketable equity securities and our common stock.

If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine the fair value of our financial instruments, then we use observable inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. These investments are classified as Level 2 and primarily consist of federal agency, commercial paper and corporate notes/bonds. In addition, we have derivative instruments that are classified as Level 2 financial assets. We determine the fair value of these instruments based on modeling techniques that include inputs such as market volatilities, spot rates and interest differentials from published sources.

Our Level 3 financial assets include investments in auction rate securities. The valuation techniques are described as follows:

Auction Rate Securities:

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. Auction rate securities are investments with contractual maturities generally between 20 and 30 years and are usually found in the form of municipal bonds, preferred stock, and a pool of student loans or collateralized debt obligations with interest rates resetting every seven to 49 days through an auction process. At the end of each reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold the securities at par. The auction rate securities held by us are backed by student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), which are guaranteed by the U.S. Federal Department of Education.

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities held by us were rated as either AAA, Aaa or A3 by the major independent rating agencies and all of our auction rate securities have experienced failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These failures are not believed to be a credit issue with the underlying investments, but rather caused by a lack of liquidity. Under the contractual terms, the issuer is obligated to pay penalty rates should an auction fail. The funds associated with failed auctions are not expected to be accessible until one of the following occurs: a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have matured. Given these circumstances and the lack of liquidity, we have classified our auction rate securities totaling $18.9 million as long-term investments as of July 3, 2011.

Quarterly we perform an analyses to assess the fair value of the auction rate securities. In the absence of a liquid market to value these securities, we prepared a valuation model based on discounted cash flows. The assumptions used at July 3, 2011 were as follows:

• 7 years to liquidity

• continued receipt of contractual interest which provides a premium spread for failed auctions; and

• discount rates of 1.60% – 5.4%, which incorporates a spread for both credit and liquidity risk.

Based on these assumptions, we estimated that the auction rate securities would be valued at approximately 90% of their stated par value as of July 3, 2011, representing a decline in value of approximately $2.1 million which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as an unrealized loss. In second quarter ended July 3, 2011, the issuers redeemed $0.1 million of our student loan auction rate securities at par value.

The available-for-sale debt investments that we hold are all high investment grade. The unrealized losses on our investments are due primarily to changes in interest rates and market conditions of the underlying securities. Because we do not intend to sell and it is likely we will not be required to sell before recovering our cost, which may be at maturity, except for the impairment recorded in the respective periods, we did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

For individual marketable equity securities with unrealized losses, we evaluated the near-term prospects in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and our ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time, we did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

As of July 3, 2011, contractual maturities of our available-for-sale, non-equity investments were as follows:

	Cost		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Maturing within one year	$	21,000	$	18,931
Maturing in one to three years		34,911		35,023

Total	$	149,848	$	147,949

Realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale and non-equity investments were immaterial for all periods presented. Proceeds from sales or maturities of available-for-sale investments were $170.1 million and $14.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively.

Employee Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a deferred compensation plan, which provides certain key employees, including our executive management, with the ability to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. We do not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan or guarantee returns on the investments. Participant deferrals and investment gains and losses remain with us and the assets are subject to claims of general creditors.

Under the deferred compensation plan, the assets are recorded at fair value in each reporting period with the offset being recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net.” The liabilities are recorded at fair value in each reporting period with the offset being recorded as an operating expense or income. As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the fair value of the assets was $33.0 million and $30.5 million, respectively, and the fair value of the liabilities was $32.6 million and $30.0 million, respectively.

All non-cash expense and income recorded under the deferred compensation plan were included in the following line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The accounting guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Consolidated cash proceeds from the issuance of shares under the employee stock plans were approximately $48.2 million and $39.8 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. We did not recognize a tax benefit from stock option exercises for the six months ended July 3, 2011 or July 4, 2010.

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, stock-based compensation capitalized in inventories totaled $4.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense by type of award:

The balance as of July 3, 2011 included approximately 4.4 million performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted under the 1994 Amended and Restated Plan. These performance-based awards (“PARS”) were issued to certain senior-level employees in fiscal 2007 and 2011 and can be earned ratably over fiscal 2011, subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Board”). These performance milestones can include:

• stock appreciation target against the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index (“SOXX”);

• certain levels of non-GAAP free cash flows, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP profit-before-taxes percentage; and

• annual revenue growth and revenue growth in certain products.

If the milestones are not achieved, the shares are forfeited and cannot be earned in future periods.

We estimated the fair value of the shares granted with the market-condition milestone using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2011			July 4, 2010
Volatility of our common stock		35.7	%		39.8	%
Volatility of the SOXX		25.2	%		30.3	%
Correlation coefficient		0.77			0.77
Risk-free interest rate		0.2	%		0.3	%

The fair value of the shares with the performance-related milestones was equivalent to the grant-date fair value of our common stock. In addition, we granted other performance-based and service-based restricted stock units whose fair value is typically equivalent to the grant-date fair value of our common stock.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2011, we advanced $2.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in pre-payments to Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporations (“Grace”), a strategic foundry partner, to secure a certain supply of wafers. The pre-payments will be applied to purchases of inventory from Grace over an estimated period of 10 to 18 months but no longer than the next two years. At July 3, 2011, the unapplied pre-payment balance was $12.0 million.

Product Warranties

We generally warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year and that product warranty is generally limited to a refund of the original purchase price of the product or a replacement part. We estimate our warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty returns are included in the allowance for sales returns. The allowance for sales returns is reviewed quarterly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligations based on the anticipated returns over the balance of the obligation period.

The following table presents our warranty activities, including amounts recorded in the allowance for sales returns:

Charitable Donation of Building

On April 1, 2011, we sold a building to a charitable organization for $4.0 million in exchange for a promissory note. The promissory note will be paid over the next four years in $1.0 million annual payments and is reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Other current assets” and “Other long-term assets”. In addition, we made a $4.0 million unconditional pledge to the same charitable organization to be paid in four $1.0 million installments over the next four years. This amount is reflected in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities.

Litigation and Asserted Claims

On August 21, 2009, XPoint Technologies filed a single patent infringement case against us and 29 other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. The patent at issue covers XPoint’s technology for data transfer between storage devices and network devices without the use of a CPU or memory. To date, all but Cypress and one other defendant have reached a settlement with XPoint. As a result, our potential exposure and the scope of discovery in this case has been narrowed significantly, and our potential exposure is now limited to a possible royalty on no more than an immaterial amount of our sales. Trial has been set for February 2012. We believe we have strong defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On January 21, 2011, Avago Technologies filed a patent infringement case against us in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. The three patents at issue cover Avago’s touch technology, including finger navigation. Avago has made no specific demand for relief in this matter. Accordingly, the possible range of losses is unknown at this time. On June 16th, we submitted Avago’s U.S. Patent No. 7,189,985 for inter partes reexamination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On July 20th, we learned that our request for re-examination was accepted. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On March 30, 2011, we filed a five patent infringement case against GSI Technology in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota. The five patents at issue cover GSI’s static random access memory (SRAM) technology, including GSI’s Sigma DDR and SigmaQuad II and III families of memory products. We are seeking damages as well as injunctive relief from the court. On June 10th, we filed an action with the ITC to enjoin the importation of GSI products that infringe four of our U.S. patents. On July 23rd, the action was formally instituted by the ITC. On July 22nd, GSI filed a request for re-examination of our U.S. Patent No. 7,142,477 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as a civil complaint with the Federal District Court in Northern California. The complaint accuses the QDR Consortium, of which we are a member, of certain anti-competitive activity. Aside from injunctive relief, GSI has made no specific monetary demand in the anti-trust matter. Accordingly, the possible range of monetary loss in the matter, if any is demanded in the future, is unknown at this time. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On July 26, 2011, Commonwealth Research Group, LLC (“CRG”) filed a single patent infringement case against us and 12 other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. As a non-practicing entity, CRG does not sell or produce any products or services to the public. The complaint accuses our PSoC5 of infringing CRG’s patent for a “system for conserving energy among electrical components.” CRG is seeking injunctive as well as unspecified monetary damages. However, given that our PSoC5 is not yet commercially available, there are no commercial sales on which to award damages. We are currently investigating the claims asserted in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. CRG has made no specific demand for relief in this matter.

We are currently a party to various other legal proceedings, claims, disputes and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on our own investigations, we believe the ultimate outcome of our current legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of the litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

NOTE 10. DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

Line of Credit

In March 2011, we amended our revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the maturity of the credit facility to February 28, 2012 and to reduce the commitment amount from $25.0 million to $15.0 million. Loans made under the line of credit bear interest based upon the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (3.25% as of July 3, 2011) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (2.75% as of July 3, 2011). The line of credit agreement includes a variety of standard covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of loans, the payment of dividends or distribution on our capital stock, and transfers of assets and financial covenants with respect to an adjusted quick ratio and tangible net worth. As of July 3, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the line of credit. Our obligations under the line of credit are guaranteed and collateralized by the common stock of certain of our business entities. We intend to use the line of credit on an as-needed basis to fund working capital and capital expenditures. To date, there have been no borrowings under the line of credit.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 21, 2010, our Board authorized a $600 million stock buyback program. The program allows us to purchase our common stock or enter into equity derivative transactions related to our common stock. The timing and actual amount expended with the new authorized funds will depend on a variety of factors including the market price of our common stock, regulatory, legal, and contractual requirements, cash balances and anticipated uses and other market factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or suspended at any time at our discretion. As of July 3, 2011, we have used $299.8 million to repurchase 15.4 million shares with $300.2 million remaining under the program available for additional repurchases.

Dividends

Our Board declared the first cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable to holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on June 24, 2011. This dividend was paid on July 21, 2011 and totaled $15.3 million. Future dividend payments remain subject to the discretion of the Board. No dividends were paid in the first half of fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010.

Yield Enhancement Program

The Audit Committee has approved a yield enhancement strategy intended to improve the yield on our available cash. As part of this program, the Audit Committee authorized us to enter into short-term yield enhanced structured agreements, typically with maturities of 90 days or less, correlated to our stock price. Under the agreements we have entered into to date, we pay a fixed sum of cash upon execution of an agreement in exchange for the financial institution’s obligations to pay either a predetermined amount of cash or shares of our common stock depending on the closing market price of our common stock on the expiration date of the agreement. The shares received upon the maturing of a yield enhancement structure are included in our “shares of common stock held in treasury” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table summaries the activity and settlements of our yield enhancement program in the first half of fiscal 2011:

Period	Aggregate Price Paid		Total Proceeds Received Upon Maturity		Total Number of Shares Received Upon Maturity		Average Price Paid per Share

NOTE 12. FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We operate and sell products in various global markets and purchase capital equipment using foreign currencies. As a result, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We may use various hedge instruments from time to time to manage the exposures associated with purchases of foreign sourced equipment, net asset or liability positions of our subsidiaries and forecasted revenues and expenses. We do not enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational banks and the risk of counterparty nonperformance associated with these contracts is not considered to be material as of July 3, 2011.

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, our hedging instruments consisted primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. We estimate the fair value of our forward contracts based on spot and forward rates from published sources.

We record hedges of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the related gains or losses recorded in “Interest and other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gains or losses on these contracts are substantially offset by transaction gains or losses on the underlying balances being hedged. As of July 3, 2011, we had an outstanding forward contract with an aggregate notional value of $0.7 million to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of January 2, 2011, we had outstanding forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $0.4 million to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

Our income tax benefit was $14.4 million and tax expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. Our income tax benefit was $13.1 million and tax expense was $8.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. The tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to a release of previously accrued taxes and interest of $18.4 million due to the completion of an income tax examination, and expired statutes of limitations in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by non-U.S. taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The tax expense for the first half of fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to non-U.S. income taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Subject to the filing of our 2010 tax return, Cypress’s remaining federal net operating loss carry-forwards utilizable in future periods, subject to applicable federal limitations, are approximately $607.1 million as of January 3, 2011. Of this amount, approximately $495.9 million is due to stock option deductions and original issue discount. When recognized, the tax benefit of these loss carryforwards will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of the income tax provision. In addition, Cypress has federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $117.9 million. While our U.S. federal income tax returns prior to 2006 are not open for assessment, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) can adjust net operating loss and research and development carryovers that were generated in prior years and carried forward to 2006 and subsequent years.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate totaled $27.4 million and $43.6 million, respectively.

Management believes events that could occur in the next twelve months and cause a material change in our unrecognized tax benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

• completion of examinations by the foreign taxing authorities; and

• expiration of statutes of limitations on our tax returns.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses our tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which we do business. We believe it is possible that within the next twelve months we may recognize approximately $5 to $7 million of our existing unrecognized tax benefits.

Classification of Interest and Penalties

Our policy is to classify interest and penalties, if any, as components of the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, accrued interest and penalties totaled $10.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively.

Tax Examinations

The IRS has completed its examination of fiscal years 2006-2008. The examination resulted in no material adjustments to our tax liabilities. In addition, non-U.S. tax authorities have completed their income tax examinations of our subsidiary in India for fiscal years 2005-2007 and our subsidiary in the Philippines for 2007. The proposed adjustments in India have been appealed, and we believe the ultimate outcome of these appeals will not result in a material adjustment to our tax liability. The Philippines examination for 2007 resulted in no material adjustments to our tax liabilities. An income tax examination of our Philippine subsidiary for the 2008 fiscal year is in progress.

Spin-Off of SunPower

We have a tax sharing agreement with SunPower providing for each of the parties’ obligations concerning various tax liabilities. The tax sharing agreement is structured such that, for all open tax years prior to 2009, we will pay all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are calculated on a consolidated or combined basis (as defined under applicable federal, state or foreign law) reduced by SunPower’s portion of such tax liability or benefit determined based upon its separate return tax liability as defined under the tax sharing agreement. Such liability or benefit will be based on a pro forma calculation as if SunPower were filing a separate income tax return in each jurisdiction, rather than on a combined or consolidated basis with us subject to adjustments as set forth in the tax sharing agreement.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Cypress and SunPower entered into an amendment to the existing tax sharing agreement between the parties to address certain transactions that may affect the tax treatment of the Spin-Off and certain other matters. Under the amended tax sharing agreement, SunPower agreed that it will not: (a) effect a Recapitalization during the 36 month period following the Spin-Off without first obtaining a tax opinion to the effect that such Recapitalization (either alone or when taken together with any other transaction or transactions) will not cause the Spin-Off to become taxable under Section 355(e), or (b) seek any private ruling, including any supplemental private ruling, from the IRS with regard to the Spin-Off, or any transaction having any bearing on the tax treatment of the Spin-Off, without our prior written consent.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section under Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

General

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress”) delivers high-performance, mixed-signal, programmable solutions that provide customers with rapid time-to-market and exceptional system value. Our offerings include the flagship Programmable System-on-Chip (“PSoC ”) families and derivatives such as CapSense touch sensing and TrueTouchTM solutions for touchscreens. We are the world leader in universal serial bus (“USB”) controllers, including the high-performance West Bridge solution that enhances connectivity and performance in multimedia handsets. We are also a leader in high-performance memories and programmable timing devices. We serve numerous markets including consumer, mobile handsets, computation, data communications, automotive, industrial and military.

As of the end of the first half of fiscal 2011, our organization included the following business segments:

Business Segments	Description
Consumer and Computation Division	A product division focusing on PSoC, touch-sensing and touchscreen solutions, USB and timing solutions.
Data Communications Division	A product division focusing on data communication devices for wireless handset and professional video systems.
Memory Products Division	A product division focusing on static random access memories and nonvolatile memories.
Emerging Technologies and Other	Includes Cypress Envirosystems and AgigA Tech, Inc., both majority-owned subsidiaries of Cypress, the Optical Navigation Systems (“ONS”) business unit, China business unit, foundry-related services, other development stage companies and certain corporate expenses.

Sale of Image Sensors Product Family

As part of Cypress’s continued efforts to focus on programmable products including our flagship PSoC programmable system-on-chip solution and our TrueTouchTM touch-sensing controllers, we divested our image sensors product family by selling it to ON Semiconductor Corporation on February 27, 2011. The name of our Memory and Image Sensor Division was changed to Memory Products Division, (“MPD”) to reflect the change in our business.

Manufacturing Strategy

Our core manufacturing strategy—“flexible manufacturing”—combines capacity from foundries with output from our internal manufacturing facilities. This initiative is intended to allow us to meet rapid swings in customer demand while lessening the burden of high fixed costs, a capability that is particularly important in high-volume consumer markets that we serve with our leading programmable product portfolio.

We currently manufacture approximately 50% of our semiconductor products at our wafer manufacturing facility in Bloomington, Minnesota. External wafer foundries, mainly in Asia, manufactured the balance of our products and we expect that our wafer foundry partners will continue to increase as a percentage of total output.

We conduct assembly and test operations at our highly automated assembly and test facility in the Philippines. This facility accounts for approximately 40% to 55% of the total assembly output and 45% - 60% of the total test output. Various subcontractors in Asia performed the balance of the assembly and test operations.

Our facility in the Philippines performs assembly and test operations manufacturing volume products and packages where our ability to leverage manufacturing costs is high. This facility has nine fully integrated, automated manufacturing lines enabling complete assembly and test operations with minimal human intervention. These autolines have shorter manufacturing cycle times than conventional assembly/test operations, which enable us to respond more rapidly to changes in demand

Total revenues	$	254,978	$	223,024	$	488,088	$	425,295

Consumer and Computation Division:

Revenues from the Consumer and Computation Division increased by $54.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $88.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2011, or approximately 71.8% and 58.8%, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in sales of our PSOC family of products mainly due to higher demand in our capacitive and touchscreen applications in mobile devices. Our PSOC product families, including our touchscreen family, continued to gain new design wins, expand our customer base and increase market penetration in a variety of end-market applications including mobile handsets, tablet computers, cameras ,GPS and other products.

Data Communications Division:

Revenues from the Data Communications Division decreased by $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $2.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2011, or approximately 10.4% and 4.6%, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods. The revenue decreases were primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of our communications products offset by increases in sales of our West Bridge controllers and other products.

Memory Products Division:

Revenues from the Memory Products Division decreased by $25.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $31.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2011, or approximately 22.3% and 15.0%, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods. The revenue decreases were primarily attributable to decreases in sales of our SRAM products driven by decreased demand from wireless and wireline end customers and due to the sale of our image sensor business unit during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Emerging Technologies and Other:

Revenues from Emerging Technologies and Other increased by $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $8.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2011, or approximately 99.4% and 110.8%, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods. The revenue increases were primarily attributable to an overall increase in demand as certain of the Emerging Technologies divisions are beginning initial production ramps.

As a percentage of revenues		19.3	%		19.3	%		19.9	%		19.6	%

R&D expenditures increased by $6.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in certain variable bonus programs, a $1.0 million increase in consulting fees to support new product introductions, a $0.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.8 million increase in certain payroll taxes as a result of option exercises and stock-based award deliveries.

R&D expenditures increased by $14.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.6 million increase in certain variable bonus programs, a $2.0 million increase each in stock-based compensation expense and an increase of $1.4 million in consulting fees to support new product introductions.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2011			July 4, 2010			July 3, 2011			July 4, 2010

As a percentage of revenues		22.9	%		24.3	%		24.0	%		24.8	%

SG&A expenses increased by $4.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.0 million increase in payroll taxes related to option exercises and stock-based award deliveries and a $0.8 million increase in labor costs. This amount was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in legal patent costs due to certain patent sales.

SG&A expenses increased by $11.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to $4.1 million donation to a charitable organization, a $1.9 million increase in payroll taxes related to option exercises and stock-based award deliveries, a $1.6 million increase in executive deferred compensation costs, a $1.5 million increase in labor costs, a $1.3 million increase in litigation costs, a $0.7 million increase stock-based compensation expense. These costs were offset by a $2.9 million decrease in legal patent costs due to certain patent sales.

Restructuring 2011

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, we recorded a net restructuring charge of $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $0.2 million and a net charge of $0.2 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a $2.4 million gain on the sale of certain equipment in our Texas facility.

Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan which allows us to continue to allocate and align our resources to the business units that we expect to drive future development and revenue growth (“Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan”). Restructuring activities related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Provision	$	4,464
Cash payments		(1,277	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	3,187

Restructuring balances under the 2011 Plan related primarily to personnel costs.

Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan

During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we implemented a restructuring plan to exit certain of our back-end manufacturing operations located in the Philippines (“Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan”). These actions are intended to reduce the cost of our back-end manufacturing by selling our labor intensive assembly and test operations to lower cost third-party subcontractors in Asia and by the continued shifting of these operations to our fully automated back-end processes.

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	2,206
Provision		407
Cash payments		(214	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		2,399
Cash payments		(67	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	2,332

As of July 3, 2011, we recorded total restructuring charges of $2.7 million under the Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan, which was all related to personnel costs. As of July 3, 2011, our restructuring provision was $2.3 million. We expect to eliminate approximately 300 manufacturing employees and 200 contractors or approximately 34% of our Philippines plant workforce by the end of fiscal 2011. Upon completion of all of our actions, we anticipate our annual savings impacting cost of goods sold after fiscal 2011 to be approximately $1.0 million, although there can be no assurance of this.

Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan as part of a company-wide cost saving initiative which continued into 2010 aimed to reduce operating costs in response to the economic downturn (“Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan”).

Restructuring activities related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	1,106
Provision		322
Non-cash		257
Cash payments		(373	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		1,312
Provision		(733	)
Cash payments		(415	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	164

As a result of the 2008/9 Restructuring Plan, we eliminated approximately 835 positions. In the second quarter of 2011, we substantially completed the remaining actions we had for this plan.

During fiscal 2010, our annual savings from our actions taken was approximately $70.0 million and proportionately impacted cost of goods sold by 50%, research and development expense by 25% and sales, general and administrative expense by 25%.

Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plan

During fiscal 2007, we implemented a restructuring plan to exit our manufacturing facility located in Round Rock, Texas (“Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plan”). The Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plan included the termination of employees and the planned disposal of assets, primarily consisting of land, building and manufacturing equipment, located in the Texas facility.

The actions related to the 2007 Restructuring Plan were substantially completed in fiscal 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a $2.4 million gain on the sale of certain equipment in our Texas facility. On a quarterly basis we continue to incur expenses related to ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Texas facility until we complete the sale of the property.

Assets Held For Sale:

The Texas facility ceased operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. As our management has committed to a plan to sell the assets associated with the facility, we have classified the assets as held for sale and recorded the assets at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value was determined by an analysis of market prices for similar assets. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded a $1.5 million write-down to the estimated fair value related to these assets.

The net book value of the remaining restructured assets that were classified as held for sale and included in “Other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $6.9 million as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

We had expected to complete the disposal of the restructured assets by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009; however, due to the downturn and uncertainty in the commercial real estate market we were unable to secure a buyer for the Texas facility. In response, during fiscal 2010 we revised the asking price for the property. We expect to sell the facility within the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance of this and our ability to complete the sale of any restructured assets may be impacted by the current economic and credit conditions.

Total interest and other income, net	$	(341	)	$	(1,165	)	$	1,265		$	(435	)

Employee Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a deferred compensation plan, which provides certain key employees, including our executive management, with the ability to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirements on a tax-free basis. We do not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan and we do not guarantee returns on the investments. Participant deferrals and investment gains and losses remain as our liabilities and the underlying assets are subject to claims of general creditors.

The increase or decrease in the fair value of the investments relates to the increased or decreased performance of the portfolio on a year over year basis.

Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit was $14.4 million and $13.1 million for the three and six months, respectively, ended July 3, 2011. Our income tax expense was $6.3 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months, respectively, ended July 4, 2010. The tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to a release of previously accrued taxes and interest of $18.4 million due to the completion of an income tax examination, and expired statutes of limitations in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by non-U.S. taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The tax provision for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to income taxes associated with our non-U.S. operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

(In thousands)	July 3, 2011		January 2, 2011

Key Components of Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	July 3 2011			July 4, 2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	112,213		$	84,154
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	77,335		$	(57,694	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(172,578	)	$	(81,222	)

During the six months ended July 3, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $112.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $84.2 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010. Operating cash flows for the six months ended July 3, 2011, were primarily driven by higher net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and partially offset by changes in our working capital. The changes in our working capital as of July 3, 2011 compared to January 2, 2011 were as follows:

• Accounts receivable increased by $53.0 million due to higher distributor shipments.

• Inventories increased by $8.2 million due to slightly lower shipments to our direct customers and distributors.

• Accounts payable increased by $11.6 million due to timing of purchases and payments.

• Dividend payable increased by $15.3 million due to dividend declared.

• Deferred revenues less cost of revenues increased by $60.2 million due to higher distributor shipments to support increased sales value.

During the six months ended July 3, 2011, net cash provided by investing activities was $77.3 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $57.7 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010. For the six months ended July 3, 2011, our investing activities primarily included $53.6 million of property and equipment expenditures and $97.7 million of purchases of our investments, net of proceeds from sales and maturities.

During the six months ended July 3, 2011, net cash used in financing activities was $172.6 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $81.2 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010. For the six months ended July 3, 2011, we used a net of $77.9 million on the yield enhancement structured agreements compared to $111.9 million used on yield enhancement structured agreements for the six months ended July 4, 2010. These amount were offset by net proceeds of $48.2 million for the six month ended July 3, 2011 and $39.7 million for the six month ended July 4, 2010 from the issuance of common shares under our employee stock plans.

Liquidity and Contractual Obligations

Auction Rate Securities:

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities have experienced failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. Currently, these failures are not believed to be a credit issue with the underlying investments, but rather caused by a lack of liquidity. We have classified our auction rate securities totaling $18.9 million as long-term investments as of July 3, 2011.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we performed analyses to assess the fair value of the auction rate securities. In the absence of a liquid market to value these securities, we prepared a valuation model based on discounted cash flows. Based on the discounted cash flows, we estimated that the value of our auction rate securities is approximately 90% of their stated par value as of July 3, 2011.

36

Stock Repurchase Program:

Under our Board authorized $600.0 million repurchase buyback program we have $300.2 million remaining for purchases as of July 3, 2011. To date our purchase program has included direct market repurchases, settlements under our yield enhancement program and common shares withheld for tax obligation on vested restricted shares.

During the six months ended July 3, 2011 we used $101.l million for direct market repurchases, $127.8 million for shares settled under our yield enhancement program and $41.4 million for common shares withheld for tax obligations on vested restricted shares.

Yield Enhancement Program:

The audit committee has approved a yield enhancement strategy intended to improve the yield on our available cash. Upon the expiration of each short term yield enhanced structured agreement we receive either our cash back in addition to a yield or shares of our stock.

The amount that we commit to our yield enhancement program strategy takes into account a variety of factors including our cash needs, market price of our common stock, contractual requirements and other market factors. This program can be modified or suspended at anytime at our discretion.

On March 1, 2011 we entered into a short-term yield enhanced structured agreement with a maturity of less than 45 days at an aggregate price of approximately $57.6 million. On April 18, 2011, we settled this agreement and received 3 million shares of our common stock.

On March 9, 2011 we entered into a short-term yield enhanced structured agreement with a maturity of less than 45 days at an aggregate price of approximately $53.3 million. On April 20, 2011, we settled this agreement and received 1 million shares of our common stock. In addition, we received net cash proceeds of $0.9 million upon maturity.

On May 9, 2011 we entered into a short-term yield enhanced structured agreement with a maturity of less than 90 days at an aggregate price of approximately $58.3 million. On June 29, 2011, we settled this agreement and received cash proceeds of $2.1 million upon maturity.

Purchase Obligations:

We have outstanding purchase obligations, which primarily include non-cancelable purchase orders for materials, services, manufacturing equipment, building improvements and supplies in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are defined as enforceable agreements that are legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including quantity, price and timing. As of July 3, 2011, non-cancelable purchase obligations totaled approximately $86.7 million.

Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Our long-term strategy is to maintain a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents for operational purposes and to invest the remaining amount of our cash in interest-bearing and highly liquid cash equivalents, debt securities and the purchase of our stock through our stock buyback program. As of July 3, 2011, in addition to $280.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, we had $78.7 million invested in short-term investments for a total cash and short-term investment position of $358.9 million that is available for use in our current operations. In addition, we had $18.9 million of long-term investments primarily consisting of auction rate securities.

As of July 3, 2011, approximately 35% of our cash and cash equivalents are offshore funds. While these amounts are primarily invested in U.S. dollars, a portion is held in foreign currencies. All offshore balances are exposed to local political, banking, currency control and other risks. In addition, these amounts, if repatriated may be subject to income tax in the United States and other transfer restrictions. We believe that liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and our borrowing arrangements will provide sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, should prevailing economic conditions and/or financial, business and other factors beyond our control adversely affect the estimates of our future cash requirements, we could be required to fund our cash requirements by alternative financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. We may choose at any time to raise additional capital or debt to strengthen our financial position, facilitate growth, enter into strategic initiatives including the acquisition of other companies and provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of other business opportunities that arise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, conditions for use of Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) financial measures, and other SEC regulations define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain Non-GAAP financial information. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described below. Management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting our business and operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us include gross margin, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income or loss, net income or loss and basic and diluted net income or loss per share.

Our Non-GAAP measures primarily exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, impairments to goodwill, gain or losses on divestiture, investment-related gains and losses, discontinued operations, restructuring costs and other special charges and credits. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our strategic and business decision making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these Non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

We use each of these Non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when providing our financial results and business outlook to the public, to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and are used to formulate our formula driven cash bonus plan and any milestone based stock awards. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational and financial performance of current and historical results. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these Non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

The following table shows our Non-GAAP financial measures:

	Three Months Ended
	July 3, 2011		July 4, 2010
	(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Non-GAAP gross margin	$	145,732	$	131,906
Non-GAAP research and development expenses		42,280		37,693
Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses		40,677		42,047
Non-GAAP operating income		62,775		52,164
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cypress		62,993		48,183
Non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Cypress - diluted	$	0.32	$	0.24

We believe that providing these Non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the GAAP financial results, are useful to investors because they allow investors to see our results “through the eyes” of management as these Non-GAAP financial measures reflect our internal measurement processes. Management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to better assess changes in each key element of our operating results across different reporting periods on a consistent basis and provides investors with another method for assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of our ongoing operations.

The following is a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risks

Our investment portfolio consists of a variety of financial instruments that exposes us to interest rate risk, including, but not limited to, money market funds, commercial paper and corporate securities. These investments are generally classified as availablefor-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our balance sheets at fair market value with their related unrealized gain or loss reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Due to the relatively short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Since we believe we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.

Auction Rate Securities

As of July 3, 2011, all our auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. Auction rate securities are investments with contractual maturities generally between 20 and 30 years. The auction rate securities held by us are backed by student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), which are guaranteed by the U.S. Federal Department of Education.

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities held by us were rated as either AAA, Aaa or A3 by the major independent rating agencies and all of our auction rate securities have experienced failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These failures are not believed to be a credit issue with the underlying investments, but rather caused by a lack of liquidity. Under the contractual terms, the issuer is obligated to pay penalty rates should an auction fail. The funds associated with failed auctions are not expected to be accessible until one of the following occurs: a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have matured. Given these circumstances and the lack of liquidity, we have classified our auction rate securities totaling $18.9 million as long-term investments as of July 3, 2011. If the financial market continues to deteriorate, future downgrades could potentially impact the rating of our auction rate securities.

On a quarterly basis we performed analyses to assess the fair value of the auction rate securities. In the absence of a liquid market to value these securities, we prepared a valuation model based on discounted cash flows. The assumptions used at July 3, 2011 were as follows:

• 7 years to liquidity;

• continued receipt of contractual interest which provides a premium spread for failed auctions; and

• discount rates of 1.60%—5.40%, which incorporates a spread for both credit and liquidity risk.

Based on these assumptions, we estimated that the auction rate securities would be valued at approximately 90% of their stated par value as of July 3, 2011, representing a decline in value of approximately $2.1 million.

As a result of our adoption of the amended other-than-temporary impairment guidance on debt securities in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reclassified the non-credit portion of the previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses related to our auction rate securities of $5.3 million from accumulated deficit to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The following table summarizes certain information related to our auction rate securities as of July 3, 2011:

	Fair Value		Fair Value Given a 100 Basis Point Increase in Interest Rates		Fair Value Given a 100 Basis Point Decrease in Interest Rates
	(In thousands)
Auction rate securities	$	18,931	$	20,824	$	17,038

Investments in Publicly Traded and Privately Held Companies

We have equity investments in certain publicly traded companies. The marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale investments and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gain (loss) reported as a component in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the common stock is subject to market price volatility. The following table summarizes certain information related to these investments as of July 3, 2011:

Investments	Fair Value		Fair Value Given a 10% Increase in Stock Prices		Fair Value Given a 10% Decrease in Stock Prices
	(In thousands)
Marketable equity securities	$	2,185	$	2,404	$	1,967

We also have equity investments in several privately held companies, many of which are start-ups or in development stages. These investments are inherently risky as the market for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. As our equity investments generally do not permit us to exert significant influence or control, these amounts generally represent our cost of the investments, less any adjustments we make when we determine that an investment’s net realizable value is less than its carrying cost. As of July 3, 2011, the carrying value of our investments in privately held companies was $4.0 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We operate and sell products in various global markets and purchase capital equipment using foreign currencies but predominantly the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our operating margins. For example, when foreign currencies appreciate against the U.S. dollar, inventory and expenses denominated in foreign currencies become more expensive. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products more expensive for international customers, thus potentially leading to a reduction in demand, and therefore in our sales and profitability. Furthermore, many of our competitors are foreign companies that could benefit from such a currency fluctuation, making it more difficult for us to compete with those companies. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business and results of operations.

We analyzed our foreign currency exposure, including our hedging strategies, to identify assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. For those assets and liabilities, we evaluated the effects of a 10% shift in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. We have determined that there would be an immaterial effect on our results of operations from such a shift.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed 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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended July 3, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On August 3, 2011, Cypress’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the incentive payments to our executive officers for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 performance incentive plans. These payments were earned in accordance with the terms of our Key Employee Bonus Plan (the “KEBP”) and the Performance Bonus Plan (the “PBP”).

The payments were determined based upon the financial performance of Cypress and each executive’s performance. The performance measures under the KEBP include our non-GAAP profit-before-taxes percentage as well as individual strategic, operational and financial goals established for each executive. The following table sets forth the cash payments to our Named Executive Officers (as determined in our Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2011) under the KEBP and the PBP in the second quarter of fiscal 2011:

Named Executive Officers	KEBP		PBP
T.J. Rodgers, President and Chief Executive Officer		—	$	182,208
Christopher Seams, Executive Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Operations	$	51,844		—
Brad W. Buss, Executive Vice President, Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer	$	49,220		—
Paul Keswick, Executive Vice President, New Product Development	$	44,112		—
Norman Taffe, Executive Vice President, Consumer and Computation Division	$	18,397		—

Additionally, the Compensation Committee authorized quarterly and annual incentive payments under the KEBP, totaling $264,414, to seven other senior executive officers who are not Named Executive Officers.

The available-for-sale debt investments that we hold are all high investment grade. The unrealized losses on our investments are due primarily to changes in interest rates and market conditions of the underlying securities. Because we do not intend to sell and it is likely we will not be required to sell before recovering our cost, which may be at maturity, except for the impairment recorded in the respective periods, we did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

For individual marketable equity securities with unrealized losses, we evaluated the near-term prospects in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and our ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time, we did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

As of July 3, 2011, contractual maturities of our available-for-sale, non-equity investments were as follows:

	Cost		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Maturing within one year	$	21,000	$	18,931
Maturing in one to three years		34,911		35,023
Maturing in more than three years		93,937		93,995
Total	$	149,848	$	147,949

Realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale and non-equity investments were immaterial for all periods presented. Proceeds from sales or maturities of available-for-sale investments were $170.1 million and $14.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively.

We did not sell any equity investments during the six months ended July 3, 2011and July 4, 2010.

Employee Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a deferred compensation plan, which provides certain key employees, including our executive management, with the ability to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. We do not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan or guarantee returns on the investments. Participant deferrals and investment gains and losses remain with us and the assets are subject to claims of general creditors.

Under the deferred compensation plan, the assets are recorded at fair value in each reporting period with the offset being recorded in "Interest and other income (expense), net." The liabilities are recorded at fair value in each reporting period with the offset being recorded as an operating expense or income. As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the fair value of the assets was $33.0 million and $30.5 million, respectively, and the fair value of the liabilities was $32.6 million and $30.0 million, respectively.

All non-cash expense and income recorded under the deferred compensation plan were included in the following line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Foreign Currency Derivatives

NOTE 12. FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We operate and sell products in various global markets and purchase capital equipment using foreign currencies. As a result, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We may use various hedge instruments from time to time to manage the exposures associated with purchases of foreign sourced equipment, net asset or liability positions of our subsidiaries and forecasted revenues and expenses. We do not enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational banks and the risk of counterparty nonperformance associated with these contracts is not considered to be material as of July 3, 2011.

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, our hedging instruments consisted primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. We estimate the fair value of our forward contracts based on spot and forward rates from published sources.

We record hedges of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the related gains or losses recorded in "Interest and other income, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gains or losses on these contracts are substantially offset by transaction gains or losses on the underlying balances being hedged. As of July 3, 2011, we had an outstanding forward contract with an aggregate notional value of $0.7 million to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of January 2, 2011, we had outstanding forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $0.4 million to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2011, we advanced $2.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in pre-payments to Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporations ("Grace"), a strategic foundry partner, to secure a certain supply of wafers. The pre-payments will be applied to purchases of inventory from Grace over an estimated period of 10 to 18 months but no longer than the next two years. At July 3, 2011, the unapplied pre-payment balance was $12.0 million.

Product Warranties

We generally warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year and that product warranty is generally limited to a refund of the original purchase price of the product or a replacement part. We estimate our warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty returns are included in the allowance for sales returns. The allowance for sales returns is reviewed quarterly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligations based on the anticipated returns over the balance of the obligation period.

The following table presents our warranty activities, including amounts recorded in the allowance for sales returns:

On April 1, 2011, we sold a building to a charitable organization for $4.0 million in exchange for a promissory note. The promissory note will be paid over the next four years in $1.0 million annual payments and is reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Other current assets" and "Other long-term assets". In addition, we made a $4.0 million unconditional pledge to the same charitable organization to be paid in four $1.0 million installments over the next four years. This amount is reflected in "Other current liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities.

Litigation and Asserted Claims

On August 21, 2009, XPoint Technologies filed a single patent infringement case against us and 29 other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. The patent at issue covers XPoint's technology for data transfer between storage devices and network devices without the use of a CPU or memory. To date, all but Cypress and one other defendant have reached a settlement with XPoint. As a result, our potential exposure and the scope of discovery in this case has been narrowed significantly, and our potential exposure is now limited to a possible royalty on no more than an immaterial amount of our sales. Trial has been set for February 2012. We believe we have strong defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On January 21, 2011, Avago Technologies filed a patent infringement case against us in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. The three patents at issue cover Avago's touch technology, including finger navigation. Avago has made no specific demand for relief in this matter. Accordingly, the possible range of losses is unknown at this time. On June 16th, we submitted Avago's U.S. Patent No. 7,189,985 for inter partes reexamination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On July 20th, we learned that our request for re-examination was accepted. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On March 30, 2011, we filed a five patent infringement case against GSI Technology in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota. The five patents at issue cover GSI's static random access memory (SRAM) technology, including GSI's Sigma DDR and SigmaQuad II and III families of memory products. We are seeking damages as well as injunctive relief from the court. On June 10th, we filed an action with the ITC to enjoin the importation of GSI products that infringe four of our U.S. patents. On July 23rd, the action was formally instituted by the ITC. On July 22nd, GSI filed a request for re-examination of our U.S. Patent No. 7,142,477 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as a civil complaint with the Federal District Court in Northern California. The complaint accuses the QDR Consortium, of which we are a member, of certain anti-competitive activity. Aside from injunctive relief, GSI has made no specific monetary demand in the anti-trust matter. Accordingly, the possible range of monetary loss in the matter, if any is demanded in the future, is unknown at this time. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the allegations set forth in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

On July 26, 2011, Commonwealth Research Group, LLC ("CRG") filed a single patent infringement case against us and 12 other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. As a non-practicing entity, CRG does not sell or produce any products or services to the public. The complaint accuses our PSoC5 of infringing CRG's patent for a "system for conserving energy among electrical components." CRG is seeking injunctive as well as unspecified monetary damages. However, given that our PSoC5 is not yet commercially available, there are no commercial sales on which to award damages. We are currently investigating the claims asserted in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. CRG has made no specific demand for relief in this matter.

We are currently a party to various other legal proceedings, claims, disputes and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on our own investigations, we believe the ultimate outcome of our current legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of the litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Line of Credit

In March 2011, we amended our revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the maturity of the credit facility to February 28, 2012 and to reduce the commitment amount from $25.0 million to $15.0 million. Loans made under the line of credit bear interest based upon the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (3.25% as of July 3, 2011) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (2.75% as of July 3, 2011). The line of credit agreement includes a variety of standard covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of loans, the payment of dividends or distribution on our capital stock, and transfers of assets and financial covenants with respect to an adjusted quick ratio and tangible net worth. As of July 3, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the line of credit. Our obligations under the line of credit are guaranteed and collateralized by the common stock of certain of our business entities. We intend to use the line of credit on an as-needed basis to fund working capital and capital expenditures. To date, there have been no borrowings under the line of credit.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 21, 2010, our Board authorized a $600 million stock buyback program. The program allows us to purchase our common stock or enter into equity derivative transactions related to our common stock. The timing and actual amount expended with the new authorized funds will depend on a variety of factors including the market price of our common stock, regulatory, legal, and contractual requirements, cash balances and anticipated uses and other market factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or suspended at any time at our discretion. As of July 3, 2011, we have used $299.8 million to repurchase 15.4 million shares with $300.2 million remaining under the program available for additional repurchases.

Dividends

Our Board declared the first cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable to holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on June 24, 2011. This dividend was paid on July 21, 2011 and totaled $15.3 million. Future dividend payments remain subject to the discretion of the Board. No dividends were paid in the first half of fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010.

Yield Enhancement Program

The Audit Committee has approved a yield enhancement strategy intended to improve the yield on our available cash. As part of this program, the Audit Committee authorized us to enter into short-term yield enhanced structured agreements, typically with maturities of 90 days or less, correlated to our stock price. Under the agreements we have entered into to date, we pay a fixed sum of cash upon execution of an agreement in exchange for the financial institution's obligations to pay either a predetermined amount of cash or shares of our common stock depending on the closing market price of our common stock on the expiration date of the agreement. The shares received upon the maturing of a yield enhancement structure are included in our "shares of common stock held in treasury" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table summaries the activity and settlements of our yield enhancement program in the first half of fiscal 2011:

NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense, by line item recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2011		July 4, 2010		July 3, 2011		July 4, 2010

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	29,740	$	26,279	$	50,577	$	47,853

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The accounting guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Consolidated cash proceeds from the issuance of shares under the employee stock plans were approximately $48.2 million and $39.8 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. We did not recognize a tax benefit from stock option exercises for the six months ended July 3, 2011 or July 4, 2010.

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, stock-based compensation capitalized in inventories totaled $4.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense by type of award:

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation balance	$	112,000		1.54

Valuation Assumptions

We estimated the fair value of the stock options and ESPP using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2011	July 4, 2010	July 3, 2011	July 4, 2010
Expected life	0.5- 7.3 years	0.5 - 7.0 years	0.5- 7.3 years	0.5 - 7.0 years
Volatility	37.6% - 43.8%	47.4% - 54.5%	37.6% - 50.3%	42.2% - 54.5%
Risk-free interest rate	0.1% - 2.5%	0.2% - 2.7%	0.1% - 2.9%	0.1% - 3.1%
Dividend yield	1.7%	—	0%- 1.7%	—

The fair value of the restricted stock units and the restricted stock awards was based on our stock price on the date of grant.

Equity Incentive Program

As of July 3, 2011, approximately 26.2 million stock options or 13.9 million restricted stock units and restricted stock awards were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Plan.

Stock Options:

The following table summarizes our stock option activities:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share
	(In thousands, except per-share amounts)
Options outstanding as of January 2, 2011		36,070		$	5.51

Options outstanding as of July 3, 2011		26,415		$	5.98
Options exercisable as of July 3, 2011		16,784		$	4.45

Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards:

The following table summarizes our restricted stock unit and restricted stock award activities:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Fair Value per Share
	(In thousands, except per-share amounts)
Balance as of January 2, 2011		14,970		$	4.90
Granted		94		$	21.25
Vested		(4,635	)	$	21.27
Forfeited		(679	)	$	8.16
Balance as of April 3, 2011		9,750		$	2.95
Granted		735		$	19.25
Vested		(486	)	$	21.22
Forfeited		(699	)	$	9.36
Balance as of July 3, 2011		9,300		$	8.95

The balance as of July 3, 2011 included approximately 4.4 million performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted under the 1994 Amended and Restated Plan. These performance-based awards ("PARS") were issued to certain senior-level employees in fiscal 2007 and 2011 and can be earned ratably over fiscal 2011, subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Board"). These performance milestones can include:

• stock appreciation target against the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index ("SOXX");

• certain levels of non-GAAP free cash flows, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP profit-before-taxes percentage; and

• annual revenue growth and revenue growth in certain products.

If the milestones are not achieved, the shares are forfeited and cannot be earned in future periods.

We estimated the fair value of the shares granted with the market-condition milestone using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2011			July 4, 2010
Volatility of our common stock		35.7	%		39.8	%
Volatility of the SOXX		25.2	%		30.3	%
Correlation coefficient		0.77			0.77
Risk-free interest rate		0.2	%		0.3	%

The fair value of the shares with the performance-related milestones was equivalent to the grant-date fair value of our common stock. In addition, we granted other performance-based and service-based restricted stock units whose fair value is typically equivalent to the grant-date fair value of our common stock.

Summary Of Basis Of Presentation And Recent Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Fiscal Years

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation ("Cypress" or the "Company") reports on a fiscal-year basis. We end our quarters on the Sunday closest to the end of the applicable calendar quarter, except in a 53-week fiscal year, in which case the additional week falls into the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. Fiscal 2011 has 52 weeks and fiscal 2010 had 52 weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended on July 3, 2011 and the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on July 4, 2010.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial information included therein. The financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard amending U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") fair value measurements and disclosures for the purpose of ensuring that fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same across both U.S. GAAP and International Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The standard contains amendments changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changing a particular principle for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company's interim and annual periods beginning January 2, 2012. Additionally, the standard expands certain disclosure requirements, including qualitative disclosures selected to level 3 fair value measurements. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect this new standard to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income that increases comparability between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity and instead requires presenting in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for the Company's interim and annual periods beginning January 2, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.

Restructuring

NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, we recorded restructuring charges of $3.8.million and $4.5.million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $0.2 million and a net charge of $0.2 million, respectively. The restructuring benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2010, included a $2.4 million gain on the sale of certain equipment in our Texas facility. The determination of when we accrue for severance and benefits costs, and which accounting standard applies, depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under a one-time benefit arrangement or under an on-going benefit arrangement.

Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan which allows us to continue to allocate and align our resources to the business units that we expect will drive future development and revenue growth ("Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan"). Restructuring activities related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Provision	$	4,464
Cash payments		(1,277	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	3,187

Restructuring balances under the 2011 Plan related primarily to personnel costs.

Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 we implemented a restructuring plan to exit certain of our back-end manufacturing operations located in the Philippines ("Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan"). These actions are intended to reduce the cost of our back-end manufacturing by selling our labor intensive assembly and test operations to lower cost third-party subcontractors in other parts of Asia and by the continued shifting of these operations to our fully automated back-end processes.

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	2,206
Provision		407
Cash payments		(214	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		2,399
Cash payments		(67	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	2,332

Under the Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring charges of zero and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011. No charges were recorded in the second half of 2010. As of July 3, 2011, our restructuring reserve of $2.3 million was related to personnel costs associated with severance and benefits of our employees. We expect to eliminate approximately 300 manufacturing employees and 200 contractors or approximately 34% of our Philippines plant workforce by the end of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan as part of a company-wide cost saving initiative which continued into 2011 aimed to reduce operating costs in response to the economic downturn ("Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan"). Restructuring actives related to personnel costs are summarized as follows:

(In thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2011	$	1,106
Provision		322
Non-cash		257
Cash payments		(373	)
Balance as of April 3, 2011		1,312
Provision		(733	)
Cash payments		(415	)
Balance as of July 3, 2011	$	164

As a result of the Fiscal 2008/9 Restructuring Plan, we have eliminated approximately 835 positions. In the second quarter of 2011, we substantially completed the remaining actions we had for this plan.

Assets Held For Sale:

In fiscal 2007 we implemented a restructuring plan to exit our manufacturing facility located in Round Rock, Texas ("Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plan"). The Texas facility ceased operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The net book value of the remaining restructured assets that were classified as held for sale and included in "Other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $6.9 million as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

We had expected to complete the disposal of the restructured assets by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009; however, due to the downturn and uncertainty in the commercial real estate market, we were unable to secure a buyer for the Texas facility. In response, during fiscal 2010 we revised the asking price for the property we expect to sell the facility within the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance of this and our ability to complete the sale of any restructured assets may be impacted by the current economic and credit conditions.

On a quarterly basis we continue to incur expenses related to ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Texas facility until we complete the sale of the property.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

Our income tax benefit was $14.4 million and tax expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. Our income tax benefit was $13.1 million and tax expense was $8.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. The tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to a release of previously accrued taxes and interest of $18.4 million due to the completion of an income tax examination, and expired statutes of limitations in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by non-U.S. taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The tax expense for the first half of fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to non-U.S. income taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Subject to the filing of our 2010 tax return, Cypress's remaining federal net operating loss carry-forwards utilizable in future periods, subject to applicable federal limitations, are approximately $607.1 million as of January 3, 2011. Of this amount, approximately $495.9 million is due to stock option deductions and original issue discount. When recognized, the tax benefit of these loss carryforwards will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of the income tax provision. In addition, Cypress has federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $117.9 million. While our U.S. federal income tax returns prior to 2006 are not open for assessment, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") can adjust net operating loss and research and development carryovers that were generated in prior years and carried forward to 2006 and subsequent years.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate totaled $27.4 million and $43.6 million, respectively.

Management believes events that could occur in the next twelve months and cause a material change in our unrecognized tax benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

• completion of examinations by the foreign taxing authorities; and

• expiration of statutes of limitations on our tax returns.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses our tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which we do business. We believe it is possible that within the next twelve months we may recognize approximately $5 to $7 million of our existing unrecognized tax benefits.

Classification of Interest and Penalties

Our policy is to classify interest and penalties, if any, as components of the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, accrued interest and penalties totaled $10.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively.

Tax Examinations

The IRS has completed its examination of fiscal years 2006-2008. The examination resulted in no material adjustments to our tax liabilities. In addition, non-U.S. tax authorities have completed their income tax examinations of our subsidiary in India for fiscal years 2005-2007 and our subsidiary in the Philippines for 2007. The proposed adjustments in India have been appealed, and we believe the ultimate outcome of these appeals will not result in a material adjustment to our tax liability. The Philippines examination for 2007 resulted in no material adjustments to our tax liabilities. An income tax examination of our Philippine subsidiary for the 2008 fiscal year is in progress.

Spin-Off of SunPower

We have a tax sharing agreement with SunPower providing for each of the parties' obligations concerning various tax liabilities. The tax sharing agreement is structured such that, for all open tax years prior to 2009, we will pay all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are calculated on a consolidated or combined basis (as defined under applicable federal, state or foreign law) reduced by SunPower's portion of such tax liability or benefit determined based upon its separate return tax liability as defined under the tax sharing agreement. Such liability or benefit will be based on a pro forma calculation as if SunPower were filing a separate income tax return in each jurisdiction, rather than on a combined or consolidated basis with us subject to adjustments as set forth in the tax sharing agreement.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Cypress and SunPower entered into an amendment to the existing tax sharing agreement between the parties to address certain transactions that may affect the tax treatment of the Spin-Off and certain other matters. Under the amended tax sharing agreement, SunPower agreed that it will not: (a) effect a Recapitalization during the 36 month period following the Spin-Off without first obtaining a tax opinion to the effect that such Recapitalization (either alone or when taken together with any other transaction or transactions) will not cause the Spin-Off to become taxable under Section 355(e), or (b) seek any private ruling, including any supplemental private ruling, from the IRS with regard to the Spin-Off, or any transaction having any bearing on the tax treatment of the Spin-Off, without our prior written consent.

Valuation Techniques:

We use quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets to determine the fair value for our Level 1 financial instruments, which include U.S. treasuries, money market funds and marketable equity securities. Our employee deferred compensation plan is classified as Level 1 as the plan invests mutual funds, marketable equity securities and our common stock.

If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine the fair value of our financial instruments, then we use observable inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. These investments are classified as Level 2 and primarily consist of federal agency, commercial paper and corporate notes/bonds. In addition, we have derivative instruments that are classified as Level 2 financial assets. We determine the fair value of these instruments based on modeling techniques that include inputs such as market volatilities, spot rates and interest differentials from published sources.

Our Level 3 financial assets include investments in auction rate securities. The valuation techniques are described as follows:

Auction Rate Securities:

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. Auction rate securities are investments with contractual maturities generally between 20 and 30 years and are usually found in the form of municipal bonds, preferred stock, and a pool of student loans or collateralized debt obligations with interest rates resetting every seven to 49 days through an auction process. At the end of each reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold the securities at par. The auction rate securities held by us are backed by student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), which are guaranteed by the U.S. Federal Department of Education.

As of July 3, 2011, all of our auction rate securities held by us were rated as either AAA, Aaa or A3 by the major independent rating agencies and all of our auction rate securities have experienced failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These failures are not believed to be a credit issue with the underlying investments, but rather caused by a lack of liquidity. Under the contractual terms, the issuer is obligated to pay penalty rates should an auction fail. The funds associated with failed auctions are not expected to be accessible until one of the following occurs: a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have matured. Given these circumstances and the lack of liquidity, we have classified our auction rate securities totaling $18.9 million as long-term investments as of July 3, 2011.

Quarterly we perform an analyses to assess the fair value of the auction rate securities. In the absence of a liquid market to value these securities, we prepared a valuation model based on discounted cash flows. The assumptions used at July 3, 2011 were as follows:

• 7 years to liquidity

• continued receipt of contractual interest which provides a premium spread for failed auctions; and

• discount rates of 1.60% – 5.4%, which incorporates a spread for both credit and liquidity risk.

Based on these assumptions, we estimated that the auction rate securities would be valued at approximately 90% of their stated par value as of July 3, 2011, representing a decline in value of approximately $2.1 million which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as an unrealized loss. In second quarter ended July 3, 2011, the issuers redeemed $0.1 million of our student loan auction rate securities at par value.

The following table presents a summary of changes in our Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 19, 2011, we entered into a capital lease agreement which allows us to borrow up to $35.0 million to finance certain manufacturing equipment. We have the option of purchasing the tools from the lessor at a specified intervals during the lease term. The master lease contains standard covenants requiring us to insure and maintain the equipment in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations and comply with other customary terms to protect the leased assets.

Fiscal Years

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation ("Cypress" or the "Company") reports on a fiscal-year basis. We end our quarters on the Sunday closest to the end of the applicable calendar quarter, except in a 53-week fiscal year, in which case the additional week falls into the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. Fiscal 2011 has 52 weeks and fiscal 2010 had 52 weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended on July 3, 2011 and the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on July 4, 2010.

Basis Of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial information included therein. The financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2. DIVESTITURE

As part of Cypress's continued efforts to focus on programmable products including our flagship PSoC^® programmable system-on-chip solutions and our TrueTouch™ touch-sensing controllers, we divested our image sensors product families and sold it to ON Semiconductor Corporation (ON) on February 27, 2011.

Product Families / Businesses	Reportable Segment	Buyer	Total Consideration
The image sensors product families	Memory Products Division	ON Semiconductor	$34.0 million

In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a gain of $34.3 million. We received $14.9 million in cash in March of 2011 and received the remaining $19.1 million on April 29, 2011. The following table summarizes the components of the gain:

	Image Sensors
	(In thousands)
Cash proceeds	$	34,025
Assets sold:
Inventories		(3,617	)
Prepaid and other assets		(2,003	)
Property, plant and equipment		(1,178	)
Liabilities disposed of:
Accounts payable		1,508
Other liabilities		3,416
Taxes payable		1,129
Customer advances		1,239
Transaction and other costs		(228	)
Gain on divestiture	$	34,291

In connection with the divestiture of the image sensor product families, we transferred approximately 80 employees to ON Semiconductor. In addition, we have entered into a transition service agreement ("TSA") with ON where we will act as an agent and provide certain services related to shipping, manufacturing, planning and general administrative functions including the billing and collection of shipments to ON customers and payments to vendors for manufacturing activities. As a result of the TSA we may end up with a net payable or receivable to or from ON as we collect receivables and make payments to vendors on behalf of ON. As of July 3, 2011 the TSA resulted in a $3.3 million payable to ON by Cypress and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We anticipate providing services under the TSA through the third quarter of 2011.
