PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our common shares, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and the information set forth under the sections “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in each case included in this prospectus.

Telegent Systems, Inc.

We are a fabless semiconductor company that develops and markets highly-integrated, high-performance, CMOS RF and mixed-signal system-on-a-chip solutions. Our strategy is to apply our core technical expertise in RF mixed-signal design, communications signal processing and multimedia processing to enable new market opportunities for communications and computing platforms. Our initial products solved many of the long-standing technical challenges that precluded reception of analog free-to-air broadcast television on mobile handsets and integrate all of the key IC components to enable a full television-on-a-chip, including an RF tuner, demodulator, decoder, video processor and universal interfaces. As a result, consumers of our products are no longer limited to watching live television broadcasts on stationary television sets and can now access the same free-to-air broadcast content on a mobile handset or portable computer. Our television-on-a-chip platforms were the most widely sold broadcast television solutions for the approximately 1.3 billion unit global mobile handset market in 2008.

To facilitate and accelerate the adoption of our television-on-a-chip solutions, we develop and foster relationships with and among mobile device manufacturers, wireless network operators, distributors, retailers and, in some cases, broadcasters. Our approach is to use this ecosystem of relationships to drive consumer awareness and demand, help our distributors and end customers successfully penetrate new markets and expand their businesses globally and create new opportunities for operators, broadcasters and other market participants to benefit from the convergence of broadcast television and mobile multimedia devices.

Our solutions utilize existing analog free-to-air broadcast television content and infrastructure to enable delivery of familiar broadcast television to virtually any mobile device with a display. We believe we were the first to successfully integrate analog television technology on a single chip to meet the small form factor, low power consumption and mobile signal sensitivity requirements of mobile handsets. Our current products address all analog broadcast television standards worldwide, which are available to approximately 93% of the world’s population. We recently introduced a hybrid solution for notebook PCs and netbooks, which enables both analog and digital free-to-air broadcast television reception in countries that have adopted the DVB-T digital standard, and we plan to develop solutions to address additional consumer devices and digital standards. Our system-level design is independent of, and compatible with, a wide range of mobile handset baseband platforms, application processors and operating systems. We believe our technology can also be incorporated into a broad range of mobile multimedia devices, including notebook PCs, netbooks, personal media players, handheld game consoles and personal navigation devices.

We currently have more than 80 end customers, most of which are located in China. Since our inception, over 50 million of our products have been incorporated into mobile handsets and sold to consumers in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, China and Russia/CIS. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we shipped on average more than one million units per week. Our

end customers, based on industry-reported unit shipments for calendar year 2008, include eight of the top ten mobile handset IDHs in China, two of the top five mobile handset manufacturers in Taiwan and recently, one of the three leading global mobile handset manufacturers. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we generated revenue of $123.9 million, representing 150% year-over-year growth, and in the six months ended September 30, 2009, we generated revenue of $111.1 million, representing 66% growth over the comparable period in 2008. We have been profitable for nine consecutive quarters, commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Industry Background and Our Solutions

Our initial products and sales efforts targeted the mobile handset market to address the large potential opportunity arising from the convergence of the mobile multimedia device and broadcast television markets.

The mobile handset market has grown rapidly over the last ten years and handsets are the most widely adopted type of mobile device today. Forward Concepts estimates that there are over 4.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide in 2009 and, according to In-Stat, approximately 1.3 billion mobile handsets were shipped in 2008. In addition, nearly 330 million notebook and netbook computers, personal media players, handheld game consoles and personal navigation devices were sold in 2008, according to In-Stat. We believe growth in mobile devices will be particularly strong in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, China, India, South America, Eastern Europe and Africa. According to Forward Concepts, mobile handset shipments in these markets are expected to increase from 823 million units in 2008 to 1.2 billion units in 2013. These emerging markets combine a large mobile device market opportunity with strong consumer demand for analog broadcast television.

Analog free-to-air broadcast television is widely available in almost every country, encompassing most of the world’s population. Some countries have transitioned, or plan to transition, to digital free-to-air television. Consumers rely on free-to-air broadcast television as a critical means of receiving real-time news, sports and entertainment and, in many countries, broadcast television is a primary means of disseminating information to the public. According to DisplaySearch, approximately 200 million televisions are expected to be shipped in 2009 and, according to Eurodata, the average time spent per day watching television is over three hours. According to ZenithOptimedia, spending on global television advertising amounted to nearly $187 billion in 2008. The time and monetary investments made in the broadcast television ecosystem, as well as the breadth and relevance of available programming, have resulted in a high degree of consumer familiarity with the content and schedules of existing broadcasts. Proliferation of free-to-air broadcast television on mobile multimedia devices creates new opportunities for broadcasters, advertisers and other ecosystem participants by widening the audience and increasing the amount of time consumers spend watching television.

Our technology facilitates the convergence of broadcast television and mobile multimedia devices by enabling the reception of free-to-air broadcast content on virtually any mobile device with a display without requiring incremental investments in infrastructure or content. We believe there was no broadly adopted solution for analog free-to-air broadcast television on mobile handsets prior to the commercialization of our products. Our deep understanding of systems design and the free-to-air broadcast television and mobile multimedia device markets enables us to provide turnkey platform solutions to our end customers. We also enhance their ability to penetrate new market opportunities by helping them identify and understand consumer tastes and usage patterns and by enabling them to meet the certification and qualification processes required in various markets.

The key attributes of our solutions include the following:

•

Highly integrated television-on-a-chip architecture that integrates all IC components, including an RF tuner, demodulator, decoder, video processor and universal interfaces, on a single CMOS chip, delivering system-level benefits such as low power consumption, a small footprint, ease of design-in and low cost;

•

Support of free-to-air broadcast television standards available to more than 93% of the global population, including NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and DVB-T;

•

Advanced RF mixed-signal system implementation in CMOS, which enables high quality reception of broadcast signals while moving at high speeds and full integration of analog and digital IC components on one chip;

•

Proprietary, embedded signal processing techniques that enable reception, processing and display of broadcast content on mobile devices in highly variable signal strength environments; and

•

End-to-end system-level design that enables end customers to integrate our products into their devices quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

Our Strategy

We intend to continue developing new technology and products to enhance the consumer experience, increase levels of integration, address additional digital global broadcast standards and device platforms and enter new markets. The key elements of our strategy include:

•

Proliferate the use of our technology in more devices by continuing to leverage our leading market position to expand our business with existing end customers, penetrate additional leading end customers and accelerate demand for devices that incorporate our products;

•

Continue to build and leverage our broadcast and mobile television ecosystem relationships to help our distributors and end customers enter new markets;

•

Broaden consumer awareness of mobile television through increased marketing efforts and collaboration with our ecosystem partners;

•

Leverage the global availability of free-to-air broadcast television infrastructure and content to further penetrate our served markets and enter new markets;

•

Use our core competencies in RF mixed-signal design, high performance communications signal processing, multimedia processing and system-on-a-chip integration to drive technical innovation, introduce new products to support additional digital broadcast television standards and continue to improve video quality and the overall user experience;

•

We are dependent on sales of two products used in mobile handsets, and a decline in market acceptance of these products could harm our business.

From inception through June 2009, our revenue has primarily been generated from a single analog mobile television product used in mobile handsets and we are shifting to reliance on two such products. In fiscal 2009, we derived 99% of our revenue from the sale of these two analog products, and we expect to continue to derive a significant percentage of our revenue from the sale of these products for the next several years. As a result, continued market acceptance of these products is critical to our future success. If demand for these products, or for analog mobile television generally, were to decline, our revenue would decline and our business would be harmed.

We expect our market share and our gross margins to decline as a result of competition from new market entrants.

We believe we are currently the largest provider of single chip analog free-to-air broadcast mobile television products used in mobile handsets. We expect competition to intensify in the future as new participants enter the market. An increase in competition could make it more difficult for us to sell our products and will likely result in increased pricing pressure, reduced gross margins and a loss of market share. For instance, as competition increases, we expect that we will have to periodically lower the price of our products and, as a result, we expect our gross margins and operating margins to decrease over time.

Specifically, we may face competition from a number of larger, more established companies who either have close relationships with our current end customers or who historically have sold mobile television products, including companies such as MediaTek Inc., SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation and others. We may also face imminent competition from a number of private companies who we believe are developing products for the mobile television market, including RDA Microelectronics, Inc., MaxLinear, Inc., Newport Media Inc., DiBcom S.A., Siano Mobile Silicon Ltd. and others. In addition, major semiconductor suppliers who either offer proprietary or digital mobile television products or sell products to mobile device manufacturers, such as Broadcom Corporation, Infineon Technologies AG, Marvell Technology Group Ltd., QUALCOMM Incorporated, ST-Ericsson N.V. and others, may decide to enter the market for analog mobile television products. Many of these semiconductor suppliers sell a broader range of products to mobile device manufacturers than we do. Given their existing relationships with these manufacturers, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, these large semiconductor suppliers may be better positioned to develop and sell products with similar functionality as our products and with greater pricing flexibility. Further, mobile device manufacturers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers rather than from a newer supplier like us regardless of a product’s performance or its features. New entrants into the market may decide to build market share by selling products at prices that are significantly lower than ours.

As competition in our market increases, our ability to compete will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

our success in identifying and penetrating new markets, applications and customers;

•

our ability to accurately predict the demand for our products;

•

our ability to develop and maintain relationships with key end customers;

•

our ability to accurately understand the price points and performance metrics of competing products in the marketplace;

•

our products’ performance and cost-effectiveness relative to that of competitors’ products;

•

our ability to deliver products in large volume on a timely basis at competitive prices;

•

our success in utilizing new and proprietary technologies to offer products and features previously not available in the marketplace;

•

our ability to recruit design and application engineers and sales and marketing personnel; and

•

our ability to protect our intellectual property.

Our potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties or acquire companies that provide similar products to ours. If so, new competitors or alliances may emerge that could acquire significant market share. In addition, future development efforts by our competitors could render our products obsolete. For example, we believe a significant number of our products shipped to date are incorporated into mobile handsets that also incorporate a MediaTek baseband chipset. MediaTek may choose to create a baseband design that prohibits the inclusion of our products, develop competitive products or include their own or other competitive products in their reference designs. Any of these competitive tactics, alone or in combination with others, could harm our business and result in a loss of market share and an increase in pricing pressure.

Our business is dependent upon the ability of mobile handset manufacturers to successfully sell their products.

Our products are primarily incorporated into mobile handsets. Accordingly, demand for our products is dependent on the ability of mobile handset manufacturers to successfully sell handsets that incorporate our products. We cannot be certain whether these manufacturers will be able to create or sustain demand for their handsets or how long they will remain competitive in their business, if at all. The success of these mobile handset manufacturers and the demand for their handsets can be affected by a number of factors, including:

•

market acceptance of their mobile handsets;

•

the impact of slowdowns or declines in sales of mobile handsets in general;

•

their ability to design products with features that meet the evolving tastes and preferences of consumers;

•

fluctuations in foreign currency;

•

relationships with wireless carriers in particular markets;

•

the implementation of or changes to mobile handset certification standards and programs;

•

technological advancements in the functionality and capabilities of mobile handsets;

•

the imposition of restrictions, tariffs, duties or regulations by foreign governments on mobile handset manufacturers;

•

failure to comply with governmental restrictions or regulations;

•

cost and availability of components for their products, including specialized chipsets such as baseband or flash memory chips; and

•

inventory levels in the sales channels into which mobile handset manufacturers sell their products.

In addition, we invest resources to help facilitate mobile handset manufacturers’ ability to sell their products, and if we are not able to foster the relationships necessary to aid them in the introduction of new products and their expansion into new geographic markets, our collective sales efforts may not be successful. Our ability to succeed and expand our business will be harmed if mobile handset manufacturers cannot develop and sell or sustain demand for their current and future products that incorporate our products.

If consumption of free-to-air broadcast television on mobile multimedia devices does not achieve broad consumer adoption, our operating results will suffer.

Our products are designed for use in mobile multimedia devices that provide consumers with the ability to watch free-to-air broadcast television, primarily in analog format. The success of our products depends in part on consumer desire to purchase mobile multimedia devices that integrate this functionality in countries where free-to-air broadcast television is available, as well as manufacturers’ willingness to design and produce mobile multimedia devices that incorporate this functionality. The timing of broad market adoption of the functionality enabled by our products will depend in part on:

•

the price of the mobile multimedia devices incorporating our products;

•

the availability of analog free-to-air broadcast television content;

•

the pace of transition to digital free-to-air or subscription-based broadcast standards;

•

the quality of the consumer viewing experience on these devices;

•

consumer tastes, demands and preferences;

•

support for available broadcast television standards in various targeted geographies; and

•

the cost, availability and attractiveness of other methods of consuming multimedia content on mobile multimedia devices.

If market demand for television functionality on mobile multimedia devices, particularly mobile handsets, fails to develop or be broadly adopted, demand for our products will decline and our revenue and business will be harmed.

We may not be successful in developing and selling new products or in penetrating new markets.

We operate in a dynamic industry characterized by rapidly changing consumer tastes and demands, technologies, industry standards and regulations. Our competitiveness and future success depend in part on our ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements in a timely and cost-effective manner. In particular, the manufacturers of mobile handsets based in China operate in a rapidly evolving environment characterized by frequent introductions of new mobile handsets with varying functionality and capabilities. Currently, most of our end customers are based in China. As a result, our success is dependent on our ability to accurately anticipate market trends, these end customers’ changing strategies and consumer demands and to design products for devices, standards and geographies that address the needs of our target markets in a cost-effective manner. If we are unable to develop new products in a timely manner or fail to gain market acceptance for new products, our business will be harmed.

Successful product development and market acceptance of our products depend on a number of factors, including:

•

accurate prediction of changes in device manufacturer requirements, technology, industry standards or consumer tastes and preferences;

•

accurate prediction of changing broadcast standards in our target markets;

•

our ability to design, develop and sell products that address a broader array of mobile multimedia devices;

•

timely qualification and certification of our products for use in mobile multimedia devices;

•

market acceptance, adequate consumer demand and commercial production of the products into which our products are incorporated;

•

availability, quality, reliability, price, performance, power consumption and size of our products as compared to competing products and technologies;

•

our customer service, support and responsiveness; and

•

successful development of our relationships with existing and potential new mobile device manufacturers.

We cannot assure you that products we are developing or may develop in the future will achieve market acceptance. If these products fail to achieve market acceptance, or if we fail to develop new products that achieve market acceptance, our growth prospects, operating results and competitive position could be adversely affected.

The emergence of alternative models for consuming multimedia content on mobile devices may impact our business in ways we cannot anticipate.

Currently, free-to-air broadcast television is one of the most widely adopted and available forms of delivery of real time news, sports, and entertainment content. Various proprietary paid broadcast mobile television services and other modes of content consumption, including those transmitted over the Internet, may be available to consumers or may be adopted by consumers over time. We cannot predict the impact on our business should these or other modes of content distribution and consumption become widely adopted.

As analog broadcasts are phased out, we will need to correctly anticipate digital standards that become broadly adopted and develop and sell products that support such digital standards.

Our future success will depend on our ability to design products to support relevant and changing broadcast television standards and formats. We have derived substantially all of our revenue from products that support analog broadcast television formats only, and we have not yet commercialized a product that supports a digital format in mobile handsets. While a majority of free-to-air broadcasts globally are in analog format today, we expect broadcasts to transition to digital formats over time. The selection of a digital standard is determined by governmental and regulatory agencies and standard setting bodies and will vary by geographical region. In addition, the selection of a particular digital standard may be affected by, among other things, the availability of technology to support a proposed standard, government policies and regional infrastructure considerations. As a result, a single universal digital broadcast standard is not likely to emerge.

As digital broadcasts become available and analog broadcasts are phased out, we will need to develop and sell products that support digital standards and hybrid products that support analog and digital standards. In order to be successful, we must accurately predict which digital standards will be

broadly adopted in various regions. As a result, we expect to continue to invest significant time and effort and incur significant expense to design, manufacture and market products to address relevant standards and address various digital formats. If we fail to predict the relevant digital standard in our target markets, or if we do not design our products to meet relevant standards on a timely basis compared to competitors, we may fail to achieve market acceptance for our products or lose market share and our business will be harmed.

Our business is highly dependent on the mobile handset market, which is dominated by a few large manufacturers, and our future success is dependent upon our ability to build relationships with these manufacturers and incorporate our products into their mobile handsets.

The mobile handset market consists of a few well established mobile device manufacturers with large market share and international brand recognition and a significantly larger group of smaller manufacturers and designers, generally with limited brand recognition, that typically target emerging markets. In some instances these smaller manufacturers provide manufacturing or other services for the large, well established mobile device manufacturers. To date, we have primarily sold our products to the smaller mobile handset manufacturers and designers.

For mobile television functionality to become broadly adopted worldwide, we believe large, well established mobile device manufacturers must incorporate this functionality into their mobile handset designs. The future success of our business is dependent, in part, on our ability to build relationships with these large, well established manufacturers to facilitate the incorporation of our products into their mobile handsets. We anticipate that developing these relationships will require significant effort over an extended period of time and may require participation in costly field trials, extensive qualification programs, or possible modifications to our products that involve significant technological challenges. We cannot assure you that our efforts will result in our products being incorporated into one of their product designs, or that such incorporation would lead to consistent orders for our products. We also expect that these large, well established mobile device manufacturers will place considerable pressure on us to meet their supply chain, quality management and inventory policies and require extensive, localized customer support, which may require us to significantly expand our customer support organization, resulting in substantial expense.

In addition, we may have to devote a substantial amount of our limited resources to developing and sustaining relationships with these large, well established mobile device manufacturers, which could detract us from or delay our completion of other important development projects or other activities. Delays in completion of these projects could impair our relationships with our existing end customers and negatively impact sales of our current products and those under development, which will harm our business. Further, devoting significant attention to the development of relationships with these large, well established mobile device manufacturers may impair our ability to stay ahead of the rapidly changing demands and tastes of our current end customers, which may harm our business.

Our continued growth is dependent on our ability to serve the small mobile handset manufacturers that constitute the substantial majority of our current end customer base. These manufacturers primarily target emerging markets and the market share of these manufacturers is fluid and changes rapidly depending upon the success of their products.

Demand for mobile handsets in emerging markets is characterized by evolving consumer tastes and preferences. The composition and market share of the mobile handset suppliers servicing these markets, including our customer base, in any particular period, changes rapidly. These changes have been historically driven primarily by the success of new handset designs, market entry strategies and market entrants. The incorporation of our products into smaller manufacturers’ mobile handsets and,

ultimately, our growth in market share has been, and for the foreseeable future will be, dependent on their ability to anticipate changes in consumer tastes and preferences and our ability to cost-effectively design, manufacture and sell our products to the end customers who successfully address these markets.

In addition, if the large, well established mobile device manufacturers incorporate mobile television functionality into their mobile handset designs, the market share of the small mobile handset manufacturers may decline and, as a result, demand for our products from small mobile handset manufacturers may be harmed.

We may not be able to increase and broaden global market demand for our products.

Substantially all of our sales are currently derived from mobile handset manufacturers based in China. These manufacturers sell mobile handsets, including handsets that incorporate our products, primarily in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, China and the Middle East. The ability of these mobile handset manufacturers to expand their presence in these emerging markets and to penetrate or broaden penetration into other markets, such as Russia/CIS, India and Europe, will be important to our future success. Assisting these manufacturers in expanding into these markets will require a significant investment by us and we may not be able to cost-effectively increase and sustain international market demand for our products. In addition, regulations or standards adopted by, or relevant patents issued in, other countries may require us to redesign our existing products or develop new products for such markets. Furthermore, to the extent we are unable to expand international operations in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to increased demand, our business and operating results will suffer.

Our limited operating history and rapid revenue growth may make it difficult for us to forecast our business and assess the seasonality and volatility in our business.

We were formed in April 2004 and shipped our first product in October 2006. In addition, we have only two products that have been sold in significant quantities and only for a relatively short period of time and to a limited number of distributors. The mobile handset manufacturers that purchase our products have limited visibility into demand for their devices and, as a result, we cannot forecast longer-term demand or order patterns for our products. Because of our limited operating history, limited historical data and limited visibility into mobile handset manufacturers’ demand we may not be able to accurately forecast our future revenue and budget our operating expenses. Because most of our expenses are fixed in the short-term or incurred in advance of anticipated revenue, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any shortfall in revenue.

Our business is subject to the varying order patterns of the mobile handset market. In the past, mobile handset manufacturers have inaccurately forecasted consumer demand, which has led to significant changes in orders placed with their component suppliers. In addition, many of the geographies in which mobile handsets that incorporate our products are purchased have varying holiday seasons that differ from traditional patterns observed by other semiconductor suppliers and these seasonal buying patterns can impact our sales. We have experienced both increases and decreases in orders during our limited operating history within the same quarter and with limited advanced notice, and we expect such increases and decreases to occur in the future. Our recent growth in revenue makes it difficult for us to assess the impact of seasonal factors on our business. If we, the foundry from which we purchase wafers, contract manufacturers or mobile handset manufacturers are unable to increase production of new or existing products to meet any increases in demand due to seasonality or other factors, our revenue would be adversely affected and our reputation with our end customers may be damaged. Conversely, if mobile handset manufacturers overestimate consumer demand, they may reduce their orders or delay shipments of our products from units forecasted, and our revenue in a particular period could be lower than expected.

We have in the past and we may in the future make requests to distributors and end customers regarding the timing of product shipments, which may impact our reported revenue in a particular period.

In the ordinary course of business, our products are shipped by distributors to end customers at various times during a fiscal quarter, based on inventory levels, customer requests and other factors, including, but not limited to, manufacturing capacity and yields at our third-party fabrication facilities, shipping logistics, anticipated consumer demand for end customer products and timing thereof. Therefore, our shipment schedules are regularly reviewed and adjusted to meet our operational requirements and those of our end customers, in some instances resulting in accelerated shipments and in others in delayed shipments. In the past, specifically during the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, we asked distributors or field personnel to check end customer requirements and inventory levels, to determine whether a request to ship our products at a later date than originally expected would harm the business of that end customer. These requests were made with the intent of delaying the recognition of revenue from such end customers until the subsequent quarter. Because we recognize revenue when distributors sell our products to end customers, such postponed shipments affected our financial results. If the end customer accepted delivery at a later date, it resulted in revenue being recognized in a quarter later than it would have been absent postponement of the shipment. The delayed shipments were limited to the three months ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and resulted in an impact on our results for the three months ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2009. Based on a review of certain point of sale data, documentation regarding requests made of certain end customers, to the extent available, to delay shipments and our analysis of such data, we estimate the impact of these requests on the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 was a reduction in revenue of between approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million related to the delayed shipments in September 2008. We estimate the impact of the requests on the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 was an increase in revenue between approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million related to the delayed shipments in September 2008, as offset by a reduction of approximately $1.0 million related to the delayed shipments in December 2008, resulting in a net increase in revenue of up to $200,000. We estimate the impact of the requests on the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 was an increase in revenue of approximately $1.0 million related to the delayed shipments in December 2008. If we make future requests of our distributors or end customers to change the timing of product shipments by distributors, our reported revenue in a particular period may increase or decrease as a result of such requests. If our revenue or operating results differ from the expectations of investors or securities analysts or from any estimates we may provide to the market, the price of our common shares may decline substantially.

In reviewing these requests and other transactions we determined that there were errors in some of the point of sale reports prepared by our distributors which affected the timing of revenue recognition. We therefore concluded that we had a significant deficiency as of March 31, 2009. These errors were determined to be isolated in nature, were not deemed to be systemic in nature and did not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material error to our consolidated financial statements that are included in this prospectus.

We have identified a significant deficiency in our internal controls and if we fail to adequately remedy such deficiency or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be impaired.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires, among other things, that as a publicly traded company we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. We determined we had a significant deficiency as of March 31, 2009 related to policies, procedures and controls over the reporting of sales of our products by distributors to end customers. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by

those responsible for oversight of a company’s financial reporting. Our failure to have adequate policies, procedures and controls in place resulted in errors in the timing of our recognition of revenue in certain quarters. Specifically we noted errors in the point of sale report data prepared by our distributors where delivery documents prepared by distributor logistic agents were inconsistent with delivery dates included in the point of sale reports. We have developed a remediation plan designed to address this significant deficiency, which we intend to implement in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010. The remediation plan includes training for our distributors with a focus on appropriate documentation and procedures necessary for satisfying revenue recognition criteria; ongoing training of our employees with regard to our code of conduct and revenue recognition and other policies, procedures, and protocol; and implementation of additional procedures to validate point of sale report data provided by distributors that is used for revenue recognition. Until we have experience with the results of the remediation plan, we will not know if it will be successful in helping us avoid such errors in the future.

In addition to our remediation plan, our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, will require that we incur substantial costs and expend significant management time on compliance-related matters. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by a company’s internal controls. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we may be unable to meet our reporting obligations, the market’s confidence in our financial statements could decline, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by NASDAQ, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

We may not sustain our revenue growth, and we may not be able to manage future growth effectively.

We have experienced significant revenue growth in a short period of time. Our revenue increased from $321,000 in fiscal 2007 to $123.9 million in fiscal 2009. We do not expect to achieve similar revenue growth on a percentage basis in future periods. You should not rely on our revenue growth, gross margins, or operating results for any prior quarter or annual period as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain adequate revenue growth in absolute dollars, we may not sustain our recent profitability and our share price could decline.

Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to successfully manage our anticipated expansion and growth. To manage our growth successfully, among other things, we must effectively:

•

add additional sales and marketing personnel in various regions worldwide;

•

control expenses;

•

maintain and enhance our information technology support for enterprise resource planning, accounting and design engineering by adapting and expanding our systems and tool capabilities;

•

recruit, hire, train and manage additional qualified engineers; and

•

manage operations in multiple global locations and time zones.

We are increasing our investment in research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative and other functions to grow our business. We are likely to recognize the costs associated with these increased investments earlier than some of the anticipated benefits and the return on these investments, if any, may be lower, may develop more slowly than we expect, or may not materialize.

If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or develop new products or enhancements to existing products and we may fail to satisfy consumer requirements, maintain product quality, execute our business plan, or respond to competitive pressures, which could result in lower revenue and profitability and a decline in our share price.

The loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, one or more major end customers that incorporate our products into their mobile handsets would reduce our revenue and harm our operating results.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and the six months ended September 30, 2009, five end customers together accounted for 55% and 44% of our revenue, respectively. The composition of our major end customers for our products generally changes from period to period as the mobile handset industry in Asia evolves and changes rapidly over time. The changes in the composition and market share of our major end customers have been historically driven primarily by the success of new handset designs, market entry strategies and market entrants. We expect the mix of major end customers to whom our products are sold will continue to change over time. If we experience a loss of one or more significant end customers, or if we suffer a substantial reduction in orders from one or more of these end customers and we are unable to sell to new end customers or increase orders from other existing end customers to offset lost revenue, our business will be harmed. Our ability to continue to generate revenue from these mobile handset manufacturers will depend on our ability to introduce new products that are desirable at competitive prices and in sufficient quantities. Because sales are made to end customers through distributors pursuant to purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments, orders may be cancelled or reduced at any time, without penalty. In the event of a cancellation or reduction of an order, we may not be able to reduce operating expenses to minimize the effect of the lost revenue on our business.

Our quarterly operating results fluctuate significantly, which makes our future results difficult to predict and may lead to fluctuation in our share price.

Our quarterly operating results fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Because revenue for any future period is not predictable with any significant degree of certainty, you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Moreover, the semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical in nature, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns of consumers. Our expense levels are relatively fixed in the short-term and are based, in part, on our expectations of future revenue. If revenue levels are below our expectations, we may experience declines in margins and profitability, as occurred during the third quarter of our fiscal 2009, or incur a loss from our operations. As a result, our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict, even in the near term. If our revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts or below any estimates we may provide to the market, the price of our common shares would likely decline substantially.

Factors that may affect our operating results include:

•

fluctuations in demand due to seasonality, sales cycles, product mix and prices for our products;

•

pricing pressure from mobile handset manufacturers or competitors;

•

the forecasting, scheduling, rescheduling, or cancellation of orders by mobile handset manufacturers;

•

changes in the competitive dynamics of our market, including new entrants or substantial discounting of products;

•

the timing of our product introductions and the variability in lead time between the time a mobile handset manufacturer or designer begins to implement our products and the time the mobile handset goes into production;

•

variances in order patterns by our end customers as a result of our current or future sales incentive or rebate programs;

•

our ability to successfully define, design and release new products in a timely manner that meet our end customers’ needs;

•

changes in manufacturing costs, including wafer, test and assembly costs, mask costs, manufacturing yields and product quality and reliability;

•

timely availability of adequate manufacturing capacity from our manufacturing subcontractors;

•

delays in ordering of our products as a result of supply shortages or delays in delivery of other components, including specialized chipsets, from third parties for our end customers’ mobile handsets;

•

the timing of announcements by competitors or us;

•

changes in broadcast standards or analog to digital transition timing relative to our available products;

•

future accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies;

•

volatility in our share price, which may lead to higher share-based compensation expense;

•

general socioeconomic and political conditions in the countries where we operate or where our products are sold or used;

•

costs associated with litigation, especially related to intellectual property; and

•

productivity and growth of our sales and marketing force.

Our end customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production, and if we fail to forecast demand for our products accurately, we may experience product shortages, delays in product shipments, or excess product inventory.

We do not have firm, long-term purchase commitments from our end customers or the distributors through which virtually all of our sales are made. Because production lead times often exceed the amount of time required to fulfill orders, we often must manufacture products approximately 12 weeks in advance of orders, relying on an imperfect demand forecast to project volumes. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. Our demand forecast accuracy can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including inaccurate forecasting by our end customers, changes in market conditions, and demand for mobile handsets. In the recent past, end customers experienced slowed demand for their products and have, as a consequence, deferred purchase orders for our products. Even after an order is placed, our end customers may cancel or reduce the quantity of an order with our distributors. Any such cancellation or decrease subjects us to a number of risks, including the risk that expected sales may not materialize on schedule or at all, leading to unanticipated revenue shortfalls and excess inventory which our distributors may be unable to sell to other mobile handset manufacturers. Alternatively, if we are unable to project end customer demands

accurately, we may not manufacture enough product, which could lead to delays in product shipments and lost sales opportunities in the near term, as well as drive our end customers to identify alternative supply sources, which could affect our ongoing relationships with these end customers and our future product sales. We have in the past had end customers increase their requested production quantities with little or no advance notice. If we do not fulfill end customer demands in a timely manner, our end customers may cancel orders placed with a distributor. Underestimating or overestimating demand would lead to insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory, which could harm our business and operating results, as well as our relationships with our end customers.

The average selling prices of our products have historically decreased over time and will continue to decrease in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross profit.

Average selling prices of semiconductor products in the mobile handset market, including prices of our products, have historically decreased over time. In addition, as new competitors enter the market, we expect increased pricing pressure which may result in decreases in the average selling prices of our products. Our gross profit and operating results will suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling prices by reducing our costs, developing new or enhanced products on a timely basis with higher prices or gross margins, or increasing our sales volumes. Additionally, because we do not operate our own manufacturing or assembly and testing facilities, we may not be able to reduce our costs as rapidly as competitors that operate their own facilities or companies that have higher volumes of products. Our costs may even increase, which could correspondingly reduce our gross margins. We have in the past reduced the prices of our products and we expect that we will do so again in the future.

We rely on a limited number of distributors, and the loss of existing, or a need to add new, distributors may cause disruptions in our shipments, which may adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

We sell substantially all of our products through distributors and a substantial portion of our revenue is from a limited number of distributors. Approximately 81% and 79% of our revenue was derived from two distributors for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and three distributors accounted for 92% and 99% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and for the six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to be dependent upon a limited number of distributors for a significant portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. The portion of our revenue attributable to certain distributors may also fluctuate in the future. Termination of a relationship with a major distributor, either by us or by the distributor, could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenue. We may not be successful in finding suitable alternative distributors on satisfactory terms, or at all, and this could adversely affect our ability to sell in certain geographical locations or to certain end customers. Additionally, if we terminate our relationship with a major distributor, we may be obligated to repurchase unsold products, which could be difficult or impossible to sell to other end customers. Furthermore, distributors we do business with may face issues obtaining credit, which could impair their ability to make timely payments to us.

Our inability to control the sales of our products on the gray market could harm our business.

Our products have been, and may in the future be, resold by our end customers on a stand alone, or “gray market,” basis, to other device manufacturers or third parties, rather than sold as part of a mobile device. Gray market products entering the market result in shadow inventory that is not visible to us, which may result in increased pricing pressure and make it more difficult for us to forecast demand accurately. Diversion of our products to the gray market may be caused by actions of our distributors, end customers, employees, or other parties involved in the distribution process, and such activities can be difficult or impossible to detect, confirm or prevent. During a recent review, we found evidence that

China-based employees had provided introductions between third parties in connection with likely gray market activity and had supported our end customers, which had likely purchased gray market products. We are implementing policies that prohibit our employees from aiding or facilitating gray market activities by our end customers. However, we do not believe that we will be able to prevent future sales of our products in the gray market and we may not be able to prevent involvement by our employees. Our inability to control sales or prices of our products on the gray market could harm our business.

Our products must meet exacting specifications and defects and failures may occur, which may cause mobile handset manufacturers to return or stop buying our products.

Mobile handset manufacturers generally establish demanding specifications for quality, performance and reliability that our products must meet. However, our products are highly complex and may contain defects and failures when they are first introduced or as new versions are released. If defects and failures occur in our products during the design phase or after, we could experience any of the following, which would harm our operating results:

•

lost revenue;

•

increased costs, including warranty costs and costs associated with customer support;

•

delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments;

•

product returns or discounts;

•

diversion of management resources;

•

damage to our reputation and brand equity; and

•

consequential damages.

In addition, delays in our ability to fill product orders as a result of quality control issues may negatively impact our relationships with our end customers. We may not have sufficient resources, including any available insurance, to satisfy any asserted claims related to product defects and failures.

We depend on a single foundry to manufacture our products and this third party may not be able to satisfy our manufacturing requirements, which would harm our business.

We do not manufacture the silicon wafers used for our products and do not own or operate a wafer fabrication facility. Instead, we are dependent on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, or TSMC, to manufacture our semiconductor wafers using its fabrication equipment and techniques. TSMC, which often has limited capacity, also manufactures products for other semiconductor companies, including some of our potential competitors, many of which are larger, more established companies that require substantially more manufacturing capacity than we require. Since we do not have long-term commitment contracts with TSMC, they do not have an obligation to provide us with any minimum quantity of product at any time or at any set price, except as may be provided in a specific purchase order. In times of high demand, TSMC could choose to prioritize its capacity for other companies, particularly larger, more established companies with longer operating relationships with TSMC, reduce or eliminate deliveries to us, or increase the prices that they charge us. If we are unable to meet customer demand due to reduced or eliminated deliveries or have to increase the prices of our products, we could lose sales to customers, which would negatively impact our revenue and our reputation.

We do not have an alternative source of supply for our products. The lead-time needed to establish a relationship with a new foundry can be lengthy and we may experience delays in meeting demand in the event we must switch to a new foundry. In addition, the time and effort to qualify a new foundry could result in additional costs, diversion of resources, reduced manufacturing yields, or lost sales, any of which would negatively impact our operating results.

We may experience difficulties in transitioning to new wafer fabrication process technologies or in achieving higher levels of design integration, which may result in reduced manufacturing yields, delays in product deliveries and increased costs.

To remain competitive, we expect to continue to transition our semiconductor products to increasingly smaller geometries. This transition requires us to modify our designs to work with the manufacturing processes of TSMC and our third party subcontractors, which include STATS ChipPAC Ltd., ASE Group, or ASE, and United Test and Assembly Center Ltd., or UTAC. We periodically evaluate the benefits of migrating to new process technologies to reduce cost and improve performance. We may face difficulties, delays and increased expenses as we transition our products to new processes and potentially to new foundries. We are dependent on our relationship with TSMC and our subcontractors to transition to new processes successfully. We cannot assure you that TSMC or our subcontractors will be able to effectively manage the transition or that we will be able to maintain our relationship with TSMC or develop relationships with new foundries. If TSMC, any of our subcontractors or we experience significant delays in transitioning to smaller geometries or fail to efficiently implement transitions, we could experience reduced manufacturing yields, delays in product deliveries and increased costs, all of which could harm our relationships with our end customers and our operating results. As new processes become more prevalent, we expect to continue to integrate greater levels of functionality, as well as end customer and third-party intellectual property, into our products. However, we may not be able to achieve higher levels of design integration or deliver new integrated products on a timely basis.

Failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for our products could negatively impact our operating results and damage our reputation.

Manufacturing yields for our products are a function of product design, which is developed largely by us, and process technology, which is typically proprietary to the foundry. Low yields may result from either product design or process technology failure. We do not know a yield problem exists until our design is manufactured. When a yield issue is identified, the product is analyzed and tested to determine the cause. As a result, yield problems may not be identified until well into the production process. Resolution of yield problems requires cooperation among, and communication between, us and the foundry. Because of our potentially limited access to wafer foundry capacity, decreases in manufacturing yields could result in an increase in our costs and force us to allocate our available product supply among end customers. Lower than expected yields could potentially harm customer relationships, our reputation and our operating results.

We are dependent on third parties for assembly, testing and packaging of our products, which reduces our control over the delivery schedule, product quantity and product quality.

Our products are assembled, tested and packaged by independent subcontractors, such as STATS ChipPAC, ASE and UTAC. As a result, we do not directly control our product delivery schedules, product quantity, or product quality. These subcontractors also assemble and test and package products for other companies, including some of our potential competitors. Since we do not have long-term agreements with our subcontractors, when demand for their services is high, our subcontractors may decide to prioritize the orders of their other customers ahead of our orders. Additionally, our subcontractors may experience financial difficulties that would impede their ability to operate effectively. Since the time required to qualify a different subcontractor to assemble and test or package our products can be lengthy, if we have to find a replacement subcontractor we could experience significant delays in shipments of our products, product shortages, a decrease in the quality of our products, or an increase in product cost. Any product shortages or quality assurance problems could increase the costs of manufacturing, assembly or testing of our products, which could cause our gross margin and revenue to decline.

We rely on third-party technologies for the development of our products and our inability to use such technologies in the future would harm our ability to make our products competitive.

We rely on third parties for technologies that are integrated into our products. If we are unable to continue to use or license these technologies on reasonable terms, or if these technologies fail to operate properly, we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner and our ability to make our products would be harmed. In addition, if we are unable to successfully license technology from third parties to develop future products, we may not be able to develop such products in a timely manner or at all.

Mobile handset manufacturers incorporate components supplied by multiple third parties, and a supply shortage or delay in delivery of these components could delay orders for our products by our end customers.

Our end customers purchase components used in the manufacture of their mobile handsets from various sources of supply, often involving several specialized components. Any supply shortage or delay in delivery by third-party component suppliers may prevent or delay production of the manufacturers’ mobile handsets. In addition, replacement or substitute components may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result of delays in delivery or supply shortages of third-party components, orders for our products may be delayed or canceled and our business may be harmed.

Any increase in the cost of our products or delays to our cost reduction strategy could reduce our gross margins and gross profit.

Any increase in the cost of our products, whether by adverse purchase price variances or adverse manufacturing cost variances, will reduce our gross margins and gross profit. We do not have a long-term supply agreement with TSMC or our contract manufacturers and we typically negotiate pricing on a purchase order-by-purchase order basis. Consequently, we may not be able to obtain price reductions or anticipate or prevent future price increases from our suppliers.

Some of our potential competitors are better capitalized than we are, may have a long-term agreements with TSMC or other foundries and may induce TSMC to reallocate capacity to them. Any such reallocation could require us to pay higher prices to secure the supply of products that we need.

In order to secure sufficient foundry capacity when demand is high and mitigate the risks described above, we may enter into various arrangements with suppliers that could be costly and harm our operating results, such as nonrefundable deposits with, or loans to, foundries in exchange for capacity commitments and contracts that commit us to purchase specified quantities of products over extended periods. We may not be able to make any such arrangement in a timely fashion or at all, and any such arrangements may be costly, impact our use of cash and not be on terms favorable to us. Moreover, if we are able to secure foundry capacity, we may be obligated to use all of that capacity or incur penalties. These penalties may be expensive and could harm our financial results.

The semiconductor industry and the mobile handset market have historically experienced significant fluctuations with prolonged downturns, which could negatively impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

The semiconductor industry has historically exhibited cyclical behavior, which at various times has included significant fluctuations in customer demand. The semiconductor industry is currently emerging from a severe downturn. We may in the future be affected by industry-wide downturns and other macro-economic trends. Because a significant portion of our expenses are fixed in the near term or are incurred in advance of anticipated sales, we may not be able to decrease our expenses rapidly enough to offset any unanticipated shortfall in revenue. If this situation were to occur, it could adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and financial condition. Furthermore, the semiconductor industry has

periodically experienced periods of increased demand and production constraints. If this happens in the future, we may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of our products to meet the increased demand. We may also have difficulty in obtaining sufficient wafer, assembly and test resources from foundries and contract manufacturers. Any factor adversely affecting the semiconductor industry in general, or the particular segments of the industry that our products target, may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and could negatively impact our operating results.

The mobile handset market has also, in the past, experienced pronounced volatility, both in terms of market share shifts among suppliers, as well as fluctuations in demand for mobile handsets, and these cycles may continue in the future. To respond to a downturn, many mobile handset manufacturers may slow their research and development activities, cancel or delay new product development, reduce their inventories and take a cautious approach to acquiring our products, which would have a significant negative impact on our business. If this situation were to occur, it could adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and financial condition. In the future, any of these trends may also cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from period to period, which may increase the volatility of our share price.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our ability to compete effectively or to defend ourselves from litigation could be impaired, which could reduce our revenue and increase our costs.

We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies and know-how. As of December 31, 2009, we had ten patents issued and 27 patents pending in several countries, including the United States. The rights granted to us under our patents, including prospective rights sought in our pending patent applications, may not be meaningful or provide us with any commercial advantage and they could be opposed, contested, circumvented or designed around by our competitors or be declared invalid or unenforceable in judicial or administrative proceedings. The failure of our patents to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies. Patent protection outside the United States is generally not as comprehensive as in the United States and may not protect our intellectual property in some countries where our products are sold or may be sold in the future. Even if patents are granted outside the United States, effective enforcement in those countries may not be available. For example, the legal regime protecting intellectual property rights in China is relatively weak and it is often difficult to create and enforce such rights. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights in China. Many companies have encountered substantial intellectual property infringement in countries where we sell or intend to sell products, particularly China, where a substantial portion of our business operates.

Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property may have occurred or may occur without our knowledge. The steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Our failure to effectively protect our intellectual property could reduce the value of our technology in licensing arrangements or in cross- licensing negotiations, and could impair our ability to compete. We may in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or a defendant, can be expensive and time-consuming and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel, which could result in lower revenue and higher expenses, whether or not such litigation results in a determination favorable to us.

Assertions by third parties that we infringe their intellectual property rights could result in a significant diversion of management’s time, increased expenses and lower sales.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights and positions, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many

companies. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. We expect to receive in the future, particularly as a public company, communications from various industry participants alleging our infringement of their patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights and/or offering licenses to such intellectual property. Any lawsuits resulting from such allegations could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force us to do one or more of the following:

•

stop selling products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property;

•

lose the opportunity to license our technology to others or to collect royalty payments based upon successful protection and assertion of our intellectual property rights against others;

•

incur significant legal expenses;

•

pay substantial damages to the party whose intellectual property rights we may be found to be infringing;

•

redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property, which could be costly and disruptive; or

•

attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property from third parties, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

We expect that companies in the semiconductor industry will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps.

If we fail to attract or retain operations, engineering or sales and marketing personnel or if we lose the services of our key executives, our ability to grow our business and our competitive position would be impaired.

We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled operations, engineering and sales and marketing personnel. Our operations, research and development, sales and marketing personnel represent a significant asset and serve as the source of our business strategy, technological and product innovations and sales and marketing initiatives. As a result, our success is substantially dependent upon our ability to attract additional personnel for all areas of our organization, particularly in our research and development and our sales and marketing organizations. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel on a timely basis or on competitive terms. Any failure to adequately expand our research and development, sales and marketing personnel will impede our growth. In addition, many qualified personnel are located outside of Northern California where our U.S. subsidiary is located, and some qualified personnel that we may recruit may not be interested in relocating. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel on a cost-effective basis, our ability to grow our business and our competitive position would be impaired.

In particular, we are highly dependent on the contributions of Weijie Yun, our Executive Chairman, Samuel Sheng, our Chief Executive Officer, and Qing (Ken) Wang, our Vice President of Worldwide Sales and General Manager of Telegent China. The loss of any of these executives could make it more difficult to manage our operations and research and development activities, reduce our employee retention and revenue and impair our ability to compete. If any of these key executives were to leave us unexpectedly, we could face substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity, both during the search for, and integration of, any such successor. The loss of any of these executives or the inability to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, including research and development and sales and marketing personnel, could delay the development and introduction of, and impair our ability to, sell our products.

We may engage in acquisitions that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our shareholders, reduce our financial resources and result in increased expenses.

In the future, we may acquire other businesses, products, or technologies. We have not made any acquisitions to date. Accordingly, our ability as an organization to make acquisitions is unproven. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all, or integrate any acquired business, products or technologies into our operations. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals, or these acquisitions may be viewed negatively by distributors, customers, financial markets, or investors. In addition, any acquisitions that we make could lead to difficulties in integrating personnel, technologies and operations from the acquired businesses and in retaining and motivating key personnel from these businesses. Acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing operations, divert management from day-to-day responsibilities and increase our expenses. Future acquisitions may reduce our cash available for operations and other uses, and could result in an increase in amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets acquired, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, or the incurrence of debt. We cannot predict the number, timing, or size of future acquisitions, or the effect that any such acquisitions might have on our operating results. We have no plans, nor are we currently considering any proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to acquire a business, technology, product, or service.

Events such as earthquakes, typhoons, or viral outbreaks may disrupt the operations of TSMC, our end customers or our subcontractors, could cause significant delays in the production or shipment of our products and could harm our business or our operating results.

TSMC, most of our end customers and our assembly and testing and packaging subcontractors are located in the Pacific Rim. The risk of an earthquake in this area is significant due to the proximity of major earthquake fault lines. For example, in December 2006 and June 2003, major earthquakes occurred in Taiwan. The occurrence of earthquakes or other natural disasters in the Pacific Rim could result in the disruption of our or our end customers’ foundry or assembly and testing and packaging capacity. In addition, a virus or viral outbreak in Asia, such as the SARS outbreak in early 2003 or threat of Avian flu or the H1N1 virus, could reduce demand for mobile handsets or impair the development of new mobile handsets, or harm the operations of our foundry, suppliers, distributors and those of our end customers. Any disruption resulting from such events could reduce the demand for our products, or cause significant delays in the production or shipment of our products until we are able to shift our manufacturing, assembly, testing or packaging from the affected contractor to another foundry or third-party contractor, which may harm our business. We may not be able to obtain alternate capacity on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all.

In addition, we rely on our network infrastructure, data centers, enterprise applications and technology systems for the development of our products and for the internal operation of our business, which are housed or supported in or around our U.S. office located in Northern California, near major earthquake fault lines, and where a significant portion of our critical business operations take place. Disruptions to or the failure of any of these systems, and the resulting loss of critical data, could affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, the result of which may harm our operating results.

Unfavorable tax law changes, an unfavorable government review of our tax returns, changes in our geographical earnings mix, or imposition of withholding taxes on repatriated earnings could adversely affect our effective tax rate and our operating results.

Our operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, China and other jurisdictions in which we do business. A change in the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business, including an increase in tax rates or an adverse change in the

treatment of an item of income or expense, could result in a material increase in the amount of taxes we incur. In particular, proposals have been made to change certain U.S. tax laws relating to foreign entities with U.S. connections, which may include us. Legislation has been proposed that would require treating certain foreign corporations as U.S. domestic corporations (and therefore taxable on all of their worldwide income) if the management and control of the foreign corporation occurs, directly or indirectly, primarily within the United States. Although management and control is not clearly defined in the proposed legislation, if the legislation is enacted in its currently proposed form and we do not alter the location of our current management functions, we are likely to be subject to the proposed legislation. In addition, the U.S. government has proposed various other changes to the U.S. international tax system, certain of which could adversely impact foreign-based multinational corporate groups, and increased enforcement of U.S. international tax laws. Although none of these proposed U.S. tax law changes has yet been enacted, and they may never be enacted in their current forms, it is possible that these or other changes in the U.S. tax laws could significantly increase our U.S. income tax liability in the future.

We are subject to periodic audits or other reviews by tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our activities. For example, we were recently notified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that our tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2008 are subject to audit and this examination remains open. Any such audit, examination or review requires management’s time, diverts internal resources and, in the event of an unfavorable outcome, may result in additional tax liabilities or other adjustments to our historical results.

Because we conduct operations in multiple jurisdictions, our effective tax rate is influenced by the amounts of income and expense attributed to each such jurisdiction. If such amounts were to change so as to increase the amounts of our net income subject to taxation in higher-tax jurisdictions, or if we were to commence operations in jurisdictions assessing relatively higher tax rates, our effective tax rate could be adversely affected. In addition, we may determine that it is advisable from time to time to repatriate earnings from subsidiaries, under circumstances which could give rise to imposition of potentially significant withholding taxes by the jurisdictions in which such amounts were earned, without our receiving the benefit of any offsetting tax credits, which also could adversely impact our effective tax rate.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders.

Based on the assumed initial public offering price of our common shares in this offering, the expected price of our common shares following the offering and the composition of our income and assets, we do not expect to be considered a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2010 taxable year. However, we must make a separate determination for each taxable year as to whether we are a PFIC after the close of each taxable year and we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our 2010 taxable year or any future taxable year. Under current law, a non-U.S. corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either (a) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (b) at least 50% of the value of its assets, generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year, is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. PFIC status depends on the composition of our assets and income and the value of our assets, including, among others, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each subsidiary in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the subsidiary’s equity interests, from time to time. Because we currently hold, and expect to continue to hold following this offering, a substantial amount of cash or cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our common shares, which may fluctuate after this offering and may fluctuate considerably given that market prices of technology companies historically often have been volatile, we may be a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held common shares, certain adverse U.S. federal

income tax consequences could apply for such U.S. holder. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders of Common Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Companies.”

Fluctuations in exchange rates between and among the currencies of the countries in which we do business may adversely affect our operating results.

All of our products are sold to mobile handset manufacturers located outside the United States. Currently our products are incorporated into products primarily sold into countries such as Brazil, China, Mexico, Thailand and other emerging economies. We may experience foreign exchange gains or losses due to the volatility of other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. Our sales have been historically denominated in U.S. dollars and an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which our end customers operate could impair the ability of our end customers to cost-effectively integrate our products into their mobile handsets, which may materially affect the demand for our products and cause these end customers to reduce their orders, which would adversely affect our revenue and business. A significant number of our employees are located in Asia. Therefore, a portion of our payroll as well as certain other operating expenses are paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as the RMB. Our operating results are denominated in U.S. dollars and the difference in exchange rates in one period compared to another may directly impact period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. Furthermore, currency exchange rates have been especially volatile in the recent past and these currency fluctuations may make it difficult for us to predict our operating results.

We have not implemented any hedging strategies to mitigate risks related to the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Even if we were to implement hedging strategies, not every exposure can be hedged, and, where hedges are put in place based on expected foreign exchange exposure, they are based on forecasts which may vary or which may later prove to have been inaccurate. Failure to hedge successfully or anticipate currency risks accurately could adversely affect our operating results.

Our product development efforts are time-consuming and expensive and may not generate an acceptable return, if any.

Our product development efforts require substantial research and development expense. Our research and development expense for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $19.6 million and was $10.2 million, $17.3 million and $27.0 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. We may not be able to achieve an acceptable return, if any, on our research and development efforts.

The development of our products is highly complex. Due to the relatively small size of our product design teams, our research and development efforts in our core technologies may lag behind those of our potential competitors, some of whom have substantially greater financial and technical resources. We occasionally have experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products and product enhancements, and we could experience delays in the future. Unanticipated problems in developing products could also divert substantial engineering resources, which may impair our ability to develop new products and enhancements and could substantially increase our costs. Furthermore, we may expend significant amounts on a research and development program that may not ultimately result in a commercially successful product. As a result of these and other factors, we may be unable to develop and introduce new products successfully and in a cost-effective and timely manner, and any new products we develop and offer may never achieve market acceptance. Any failure to successfully develop future products would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

We will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations regarding corporate governance practices. The listing requirements of The NASDAQ Global Market require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to independent directors, committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, shareholder meetings, shareholder approvals, solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, shareholder voting rights and a code of conduct. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to both the reporting and corporate governance compliance initiatives. Moreover, the reporting requirements, rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These reporting requirements, rules and regulations, coupled with the increase in potential litigation exposure associated with being a public company, could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

We cannot predict our future capital needs and we may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future. Any required additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or convertible debt, investors may experience significant dilution of their ownership interest, and the newly-issued securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common shares. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility, and would also require us to incur interest expense. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may have to scale back our operations or limit our production activities, and we may not be able to expand our business, develop or enhance our products, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, which could result in lower revenue and reduce the competitiveness of our products.

Changes to financial accounting standards may affect our results of operations and could cause us to change our business practices.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting rules and regulations. Changes in those accounting rules can have a significant effect on our financial results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. Changes to those rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Risks Associated with Doing Business Globally and Specifically in China

Our substantial global operations subject us to a number of risks, including unfavorable political, regulatory, labor and tax conditions.

We have significant operations in China that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory and social requirements and economic conditions in that country. In addition, our products are incorporated into our end customers’ mobile handsets for use in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, China and Russia/CIS. Risks inherent to international operations and sales include the following:

•

difficulty in enforcing agreements, judgments and arbitration awards in foreign legal systems;

•

fluctuations in exchange rates, which may affect product demand and may adversely affect our profitability in U.S. dollars to the extent the cost of labor and other operating costs are denominated in a foreign currency;

•

impediments to the flow of foreign exchange capital payments and receipts due to exchange controls instituted by certain foreign governments and the fact that local currencies of some countries are not freely convertible;

•

difficulty in obtaining, maintaining or enforcing intellectual property rights;

•

changes in general economic and political conditions;

•

changes in governmental regulations and technical standards related to our products or our end customers’ products;

•

requirements or preferences of nations for domestic products could reduce demand for our products;

•

trade barriers such as export requirements, tariffs, taxes and other restrictions and expenses, which could increase the prices of our products and make us less competitive; and

•

longer payment cycles typically associated with global operations and potential difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, which may affect our profitability.

Our business requires us to respond to rapid changes in market conditions in the countries in which our end customers operate. Our overall success as a global business depends on our ability to effectively operate in different legal, regulatory, economic, social and political situations and conditions. We may not be able to develop and implement effective policies and strategies in each jurisdiction where we do business.

We have considerable operations in China and the Chinese market is of significant importance for our products. We face risks if China loses normal trade relations status with the United States or if trade relations between the United States and China are otherwise adversely impacted.

We have substantial research and development and marketing operations in China and we lease facilities in China. A significant percentage of our products are purchased by end customers in China. As a result of opposition to certain policies of the Chinese government and China’s growing trade surpluses with the United States, there has been, and in the future may be, opposition to normal trade relations status with China. The U.S. Congress may also introduce trade legislation targeting currency manipulation, which may adversely affect our business in China. The loss of normal trade relations status for China, changes in current tariff structures or adoption in the United States of other trade policies adverse to China, and any retaliatory measures that impact our products in the Chinese market, could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, a change in exchange rates mandated by legislation could negatively impact the cost of operating in China.

Furthermore, our business and operations may be adversely affected by deterioration of diplomatic and political relationships between the United States and China. If the relationship between the United States and China were to materially deteriorate, it could negatively impact our ability to control our operations and business in China, enforce any agreements we have with Chinese entities or otherwise protect our assets or investments we may have in China.

Enforcing intellectual property rights, agreements and laws in China is difficult and may be impossible because China does not have a comprehensive system of laws.

We depend on our relationships with various entities in China, including mobile handset manufacturers. In China, enforcement of contractual agreements may be sporadic and the implementation and interpretation of laws may be inconsistent, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Further, it is often difficult to create and enforce intellectual property rights in China due to the relatively weak intellectual property regime. Even where adequate laws exists in China, it may not be possible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of such laws, or to obtain enforcement of a judgment or an arbitration award by a court of another jurisdiction, and accordingly, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or enforce agreements in China.

The government of China may change or even reverse its policies of promoting private industry and foreign investment, in which case our assets and operations may be at risk.

Our existing and planned operations in China are subject to risks related to the business, economic and political conditions in China, which include the possibility that the central government of China will change or reverse its policies of promoting private industry and foreign investment . The government of China has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every section of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Many of the current reforms which support private business in China are of recent origin or provisional in nature. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities of per capita wealth among citizens of China and between regions within China, could also lead to further readjustment of the government’s reform measures. It is not possible to predict whether the Chinese government will continue to be as supportive of private business in China, nor is it possible to predict how any future reforms will affect our business. For example, if the government were to limit the number of foreign personnel who could work in the country, substantially increase taxes on foreign businesses, eliminate export processing zones, restrict the transportation of goods in and out of the country, adopt policies favoring competitors or impose other restrictions on our operations, the impact may be significant.

Additionally, a reversal of recent liberalizations of foreign exchange controls by the Chinese government could be disruptive and costly to our cross-border operations and our business as a whole.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee share ownership plans or stock option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

In December 2006, the People’s Bank of China promulgated the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange, which set forth the respective requirements for foreign exchange transactions by PRC individuals under either the current account or the capital account. In January 2007, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Implementation Rules of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange, which, among other things, specified approval requirements for certain capital account transactions such as a PRC citizen’s participation in the employee share ownership plans or stock option plans of an overseas publicly-listed company. In March 2007, SAFE promulgated the Processing Guidance on Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding Plans or Stock Option Plans of Overseas-Listed Companies. Under this rule, PRC citizens who are granted stock options by an overseas publicly-listed company are required, through a qualified PRC domestic agent or PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly-listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures. We and our PRC citizen employees who have been granted stock options will be subject to these rules after the closing of this offering. If we or our PRC optionees fail to comply with these

regulations, we or our PRC optionees may be subject to fines and other legal or administration sanctions, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Certain PRC employment and labor laws may restrict our flexibility regarding the hiring and termination of employees and may increase our labor costs in China.

Certain employment law in China requires employers to enter into fixed-term employment contracts with all employees, and imposes stringent requirements regarding the recruitment of temporary employees and the dismissal of employees. In addition, under the Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, employees who have worked continuously for more than one year are entitled to paid vacation ranging from 5 to 15 days, depending on the length of the employee’s service. Employees who waive paid vacation time at the request of the employer will be compensated for three times their normal daily salaries for each vacation day waived. These laws and regulations may restrict our flexibility regarding the hiring and termination of employees and may increase our labor costs in China.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Shares

The market price of our common shares may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

Prior to this offering, our common shares have not been traded in a public market. We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or how liquid that market might become. The initial public offering price of our common shares will be negotiated between us and representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of the trading price of our common shares after this offering. The trading price of our common shares following this offering is therefore likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

•

quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of other semiconductor or comparable companies;

•

fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

•

economic developments in the semiconductor or mobile handset device industries as a whole;

•

general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets;

•

political or social conditions in the markets where we sell our products;

•

changes in financial estimates or guidance, including our ability to meet our future revenue and operating profit or loss estimates or guidance;

•

changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

•

announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products, significant contracts or orders, commercial relationships, or capital commitments;

•

our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•

commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;

•

disruption of our operations;

•

any major changes in our board of directors or management; and

•

changes in governmental regulations.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Such fluctuations may be even

more pronounced in the trading market shortly following this offering. These broad market and industry factors may cause the market price of our common shares to decrease, regardless of our actual operating performance. These trading price fluctuations may also make it more difficult for us to use our common shares as a means to make acquisitions or to use options to purchase our common shares to attract and retain employees. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

If securities analysts or industry analysts downgrade our stock, publish negative research or reports, or do not publish reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business and our market. If one or more analysts adversely change their recommendation regarding our stock or our competitors’ stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Purchasers in this offering will immediately experience substantial dilution.

The assumed initial public offering price is substantially higher than the prices paid for our common shares in the past and higher than the book value of the shares we are offering. This is referred to as dilution. Accordingly, purchasers of common shares in the offering will incur immediate dilution of $ per share in the net tangible book value per share from the price paid for our common shares based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share. If the holders of outstanding stock options exercise those options, investors will incur additional dilution.

A limited number of shareholders will have the ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring shareholder approval.

After this offering, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates will beneficially own approximately % of our outstanding common shares. These shareholders, if they acted together, could exert substantial influence over matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including electing directors, adopting new compensation plans and approving mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their stock as part of a sale of our company and might reduce our stock price. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering. In addition, our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that a minimum of one shareholder holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of our issued common shares will constitute a necessary quorum for purposes of a valid meeting of our shareholders. The number of our common shares expected to be held by our directors and executive officers and their affiliates following the completion of this offering will be enough to establish the necessary quorum for purposes of a valid meeting of our shareholders without the presence of other shareholders.

The price of our common shares could decrease as a result of our common shares being sold in the market after this offering.

If our existing shareholders, particularly our directors, their affiliated venture capital funds and our executive officers, sell substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or are perceived by investors as intending to sell, the trading price of our common shares could decline

significantly. Based on shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009, upon the closing of this offering we will have common shares outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. Of the shares being sold in this offering, will be freely tradable without restriction in the public market immediately following the closing of this offering. The shares that have been reserved pursuant to the directed share program will be subject to the contractual lock-up agreements with the underwriters discussed below.

Of the remaining shares, shares, or % of our outstanding shares after this offering, are currently subject to contractual lock-up agreements entered into by certain of our shareholders with us or with the underwriters in connection with our initial public offering and will become freely tradable 90 or 180 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to extension or reduction, upon the expiration of the restrictions contained in these contractual lock-up agreements, except for common shares held by directors, executive officers and our other affiliates which will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, in certain cases, various vesting arrangements.

Following the closing of this offering, some of our existing shareholders have demand and piggyback rights to require us to register with the SEC up to 45,930,060 common shares. If we register these common shares, the shareholders would be able to sell those shares freely in the public market, subject to the lock-up agreements described above. These registration rights have been waived with respect to this offering.

We also intend to register common shares subject to outstanding stock options and reserved for issuance under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. These shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain vesting restrictions and the lock-up agreements described above. For additional information, see the section “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

Management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

We currently anticipate spending a portion of the net proceeds for sales and marketing activities, research and development activities, and to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. We have not reserved or allocated specific amounts for these purposes and we cannot specify with certainty how we will use the net proceeds. Accordingly, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

Holders of the common shares may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

Following this offering, our corporate affairs will be governed by our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, by the Companies Law (2009 Revision) and by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, due to the comparatively less developed nature of Cayman Islands law in this area.

Unlike many jurisdictions in the United States, Cayman Islands law does not specifically provide for shareholder appraisal rights on a merger or consolidation of a company. This may make it more

difficult for you to assess the value of any consideration you may receive in a merger or consolidation or to require that the offeror give you additional consideration if you believe the consideration offered is insufficient.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies, such as us, have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of the company. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

Subject to limited exceptions, under Cayman Islands law, a minority shareholder may not bring a derivative action against the board of directors.

Provisions of our post-offering memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands corporate law may discourage or prevent an acquisition of us, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.

Provisions of our post-offering memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands corporate law may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:

•

the division of our board of directors into three classes;

•

the right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or due to the resignation or departure of an existing board member;

•

the prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of shareholders to elect director candidates;

•

the requirement for the advance notice of nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at a shareholders’ meeting;

•

the ability of our board of directors to issue, without shareholder approval, up to 10,000,000 preference shares with terms set by our board of directors, which rights could be senior to those of our common shares;

•

the elimination of the rights of shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting; and

•

the required approval of a special resolution of the shareholders, being a two-third vote of shares held by shareholders present and voting at a shareholder meeting, to adopt, amend or repeal the provisions of our post-offering memorandum and articles of association regarding the election and removal of directors.

As a holder of the common shares, you may have difficulty obtaining or enforcing a judgment against us because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Because we are a Cayman Islands company, there is uncertainty as to whether the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. See the section “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data

When used in this prospectus the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is designed to,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•

our expectations regarding our revenue, gross margin and expenses;

•

our ability to compete in our industry;

•

our growth strategy and our growth rate;

•

our anticipated cash needs, our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our need for additional financing;

•

our expectations regarding our current and future products’ functionality and capabilities and the ability of our products to be incorporated into other multimedia devices;

•

assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing.

These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risk and uncertainties. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, including those under the section “Risk Factors.”

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth in this prospectus. Other than as required by applicable securities laws, we are under no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This prospectus also contains statistical data and estimates that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by Allied Business Intelligence, Inc., DVB.org, Forward Concepts

Co., In-Stat (a division of Reed Elsevier), iSuppli Corporation, KAV Productions, Inc., Mediametrie, TenLab and ZenithOptimedia Group Limited. These industry publications and reports generally indicate that the information contained therein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. Although we believe that the publications and reports are reliable, we have not independently verified the data.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities

We are incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. A substantial portion of our total assets are located outside of the United States. As of September 30, 2009, $141.3 million of our total assets were located outside of the United States and $21.3 million of our total assets were located in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for persons purchasing the common shares to enforce judgments against us or judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands counsel, Maples and Calder, that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will, based on the principle that a judgment by a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given, recognize and enforce a foreign judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction if such judgment is final, for a liquidated sum, not in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matters, and was not obtained in a manner, and is not a kind, the enforcement of which is contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands. There is doubt, however, as to whether the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will (a) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States, or (b) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States, on the grounds that such provisions are penal in nature.

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our common shares in this offering will be approximately $ million, or approximately $ million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common shares in full, and the net proceeds to the selling shareholders will be $ million, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $ million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. Each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $ million, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We do not expect that a change in the offering price or the number of shares by these amounts would have a material effect on our uses of the net proceeds from this offering, although it may impact when we may need to seek additional capital.

The principal purposes of this offering are to create a public market for our common shares, obtain additional capital, facilitate our future access to the public equity markets and improve our competitive position. While we have not designated the use of the net proceeds to us from this offering for any specific purpose, we expect that we will use such proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include sales and marketing expenditures, general and administrative expenditures, funding capital expenditures and research and development of new products. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to expand our current business through acquisitions of, or investments in, other complementary businesses, products or technologies. However, we have no agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisitions at this time.

The expected use of net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions. The amounts we actually expend in these areas will depend upon a number of factors, including future sales growth, success of our engineering efforts, cash generated from future operations, if any, and actual expenses to operate our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The amount and timing of our expenditures will depend on several factors, including the amount and timing of our spending on sales and marketing activities and research and development activities, as well as our use of cash for other corporate activities. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors.

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2009:

•

on an actual basis;

•

on a pro forma basis to reflect the conversion of all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preference shares into 45,930,060 common shares immediately prior to the closing of this offering; and

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the range reflected on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease)

each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $ , assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. Each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $ , assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

The outstanding share information in the table above excludes, in each case, as of September 30, 2009 (except as otherwise noted):

•

14,597,327 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.44 per share and an additional 4,468,550 common shares subject to outstanding stock options as of October 31, 2009 with a weighted-average exercise price of $7.95 per share granted subsequent to September 30, 2009;

•

633,403 common shares reserved for future issuance under our 2004 Share Plan and an additional 1,231,450 common shares reserved for future issuance under our 2004 Share Plan as of October 31, 2009 and approved by our board of directors subsequent to September 30, 2009; and

•

500,000 common shares reserved for future issuance under our 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as well as any automatic increases in the number of common shares reserved for future issuance under this plan and our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common shares and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common shares after this offering. Historical net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets), less total liabilities, convertible preference shares and common shares subject to repurchase, by the number of outstanding common shares. As of September 30, 2009, the net tangible book value of our common shares was $73.9 million, or approximately $4.05 per common share. As of September 30, 2009, our pro forma net tangible book value was $124.6 million, or $1.94 per common share. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities and divided by the total number of our common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009, after giving effect to the conversion of our preference shares into common shares. After giving effect to our sale in this offering of common shares at the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the range reflected on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2009 would have been approximately $ , or $ per common share. This represents an immediate increase of net tangible book value of $ per share to our existing shareholders and immediate dilution of $ per share to investors purchasing common shares in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:


Assumed initial public offering price per share				$
Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2009	$	4.05
Pro forma decrease in net tangible book value per share attributable to conversion of our preference shares		(2.11	)

Pro forma net tangible book value per share before this offering	$	1.94
Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing shares in this offering

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering

Pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering				$

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $ , or $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering by $ per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $ , or $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering would be $ per share, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, a decrease of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would decrease our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $ , or $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering would be $ per share, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The pro forma information

discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering would be $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering would be $ per share.

The following table summarizes, as of September 30, 2009, the differences between the number of common shares purchased from us, after giving effect to the conversion of our preference shares into common shares, the total cash consideration paid and the average price per share paid by our existing shareholders and by our new investors purchasing common shares in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, before deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:


	Shares Purchased			Total Consideration				Average Price Per Share
	Number	Percent		Amount		Percent		Average Price Per Share
Existing shareholders	64,184,538		%	$	52,018,269		%	$	0.81
New investors			%				%

Total		100.0	%			100.0	%

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, existing shareholders would own % and new investors would own % of the total number of common shares outstanding upon completion of this offering. The total consideration paid by existing shareholders would be $ , or %, and the total consideration paid by new investors would be $ , or %.

The above discussion and tables also assume no exercise of any outstanding stock options except as set forth above. As of September 30, 2009 (except as otherwise noted), there were:

•

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this prospectus, including those set forth under the sections “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities.”

Overview

We are a fabless semiconductor company that develops and markets highly-integrated, high-performance, CMOS RF and mixed-signal system-on-a-chip solutions. Our strategy is to apply our core technical expertise in RF mixed-signal design, communications signal processing and multimedia processing to enable new market opportunities for communications and computing platforms. Our initial products solved many of the long-standing technical challenges that precluded reception of analog free-to-air broadcast television on mobile handsets and integrate all of the key IC components to enable a full television-on-a-chip, including an RF tuner, demodulator, decoder, video processor and universal interfaces. As a result, consumers of our products are no longer limited to watching live television broadcasts on conventional stationary television sets and can now access the same free-to-air broadcast content on a mobile handset or portable computer. Our television-on-a-chip platforms were the most widely sold broadcast television solution for the approximately 1.3 billion unit global mobile handset market in 2008.

The following sets forth our significant corporate, product and financial milestones:

•

In April 2004, we were incorporated in the Cayman Islands and started the development of our first chip integrating all of the key IC components to enable a full television-on-a-chip solution.

•

In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we generated our first revenue from the sale of our first generation analog television-on-a-chip solutions for mobile handsets.

•

In the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we achieved profitability and positive operating cash flow on a quarterly basis approximately three years from our first venture capital financing.

•

We used an aggregate of less than $20 million on operations and capital expenditures to achieve profitability.

•

In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we started generating revenue from the sale of our second generation analog television-on-a-chip solutions for mobile handsets.

•

In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we started generating revenue from the sale of our first mobile hybrid television-on-a-chip solutions for computing platforms such as notebooks and netbooks.

In order to remain competitive, we work toward increasing operational efficiency and lowering product costs. These improvements have included a variety of efforts, such as evaluating the cost of wafers and manufacturing services for assembly and test, choice of package materials, package size, test time, production volume, vendor selection and transition of products to smaller line width geometries.

Key Financial Measures

We operate on a March 31 fiscal year end. References to fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 refer to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 and ending March 31, 2010, respectively.

Revenue

We sell substantially all of our products through distributors and, in limited cases, directly to the end customer. Once a design enters production, the mobile handset manufacturer or contract manufacturer purchases our products through our distributors. Our revenue is derived from sales of our products to OEMs, ODMs and IDHs of mobile handsets and other mobile multimedia devices, which we refer to as our end customers. We price our products based on market and competitive conditions and periodically reduce the price of our products as market and competitive conditions change and as manufacturing costs are reduced. We provide rebates to certain end customers and record reductions to revenue for such rebates at the time the related revenue is recognized. To date, all of our revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of Revenue. A significant portion of our cost of revenue consists of the cost of purchased wafers and assembly and test services, and is impacted by manufacturing variances such as cost and yield for assembly and test operations, test time, package type and cost. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes expenses relating to our internal operations that manage our subcontractors, which consist primarily of personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, the cost of shipping and logistics, royalties, inventory valuation charges for excess and obsolete inventory and warranty costs. We typically experience lower yields and higher associated costs on new products. In general, our cost of revenue associated with a particular product has declined over time as a result of decreases in wafer costs associated with the increase in the volume of wafers purchased, as well as yield improvements and assembly and test enhancements.

We use a third-party foundry and assembly and test subcontractors, which are primarily located in Asia, to manufacture, assemble and test our semiconductor products. We purchase processed wafers on a per wafer basis from our fabrication supplier, currently TSMC. We also outsource the sort, assembly, testing and packaging and other processing of our product to third-party contractors, primarily STATS ChipPAC, ASE and UTAC. We generally negotiate wafer fabrication on a purchase order basis and our purchase obligations with our third-party contractors are generally on a quarterly basis.

Gross Margin. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including changes in the average selling prices of our products, changes in volume of purchased

wafers, the timing of cost reductions for fabricated wafers and assembly and test service costs, inventory valuation charges and the timing and changes in assembly and test yields. Changes in average selling prices could be the result of competitive pricing pressures or planned decreases in sales price. Overall product margin is impacted by the mix of sales among our products. We expect our gross margin to decrease over time.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs and share-based compensation expense for our research and development personnel, product development costs, including engineering services, development software and hardware tools, license fees, cost of fabrication of mask sets for prototype products, depreciation and allocated facilities expenses. We expect research and development expense to increase on an absolute basis as we enhance and expand our product offerings. We expect research and development expense to vary as a percentage of revenue as our revenue changes over time.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs and share-based compensation expense for our sales and marketing personnel, costs related to sales and marketing programs and services and allocated facilities expenses. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase on an absolute basis as we increase the number of sales and marketing professionals and our marketing activities. We expect sales and marketing expense to vary as a percentage of revenue as our revenue changes over time.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs and share-based compensation expense for our finance, human resources and information technology personnel and certain executive officers, professional services costs related to accounting, tax and legal services, depreciation and allocated facilities expenses. We expect general and administrative expense to increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the short-term as we develop infrastructure necessary to operate as a public company, including increased audit and legal fees, costs to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on The NASDAQ Global Market, as well as investor relations expense and higher insurance premiums.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalent balances and short-term investments. We have historically invested our cash primarily in money market funds, corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bills.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, consists primarily of gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and remeasurement of foreign currency balances.

Income Taxes

As a multinational corporation, we conduct our business in many countries and regions and are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. As a result, our operating income is subject to varying rates of tax. Consequently, our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses and the tax laws and regulations in each geographical region. We expect that our income taxes will vary in relation to our profitability and the geographic distribution of our profits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates, judgments and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, allowances for inventory write down, warranty reserves, valuation of equity instruments, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes asset, valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from sales of semiconductor products. We recognize revenue from products sold directly to customers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We use a contract or purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. We consider delivery to occur upon shipment provided title and risk of loss have passed to the customer based on the terms of sale. At the time of sale, we assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable and whether collection is reasonably assured. We assess the ability to collect from our customers based on a number of factors, including credit worthiness and past transaction history. If the price is not fixed or determinable or collection of the fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognizes revenue at the time the price is fixed and determinable and collection becomes reasonably assured.

For products sold to distributors, we provide distributors price protection privileges on unsold product. Price protection rights grant distributors the right to a credit in the event of declines in the price of our products. Distributors are provided with price concessions subsequent to delivery of product to the distributors based on who they sell our product to and the price. These concessions are based on a variety of factors, including customer, product, quantity, geography and competitive differentiation. Distributors do not have a general right to return product. We defer revenue on shipments to distributors as the price is not fixed or determinable until delivery has been made by the distributor to its customer and the final sales price has been established. We rely upon point of sale reports from our distributors to record revenue. Point of sale reports provide the date of delivery by distributors to their customers which establishes the net sales price to distributors. At the time of shipment to distributors, we record a trade receivable for the selling price as there is a legally enforceable obligation of the distributor to pay for the product delivered, relieve inventory for the carrying value of goods shipped, and record the net of these amounts as deferred income on shipments to distributors on the consolidated balance sheet. This deferred income represents the gross margin on the initial sales to the distributor; however, the amount of gross margin recognized in future consolidated statements of operations is often less than the originally recorded deferred income as a result of price protection credits and price concessions which are not estimable at the time of shipment due to the variability of negotiated prices. We do not reduce deferred margin by estimated price protection and price concessions; instead such amounts are recorded when incurred, which is at the time of a price decline or at the time the distributor sells the product to its customer. The recognition of revenue from deferred income on shipments to distributors is ultimately contingent upon delivery of product to the distributor’s customer, at which point persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

We have not experienced any sales returns from end customers and currently do not record any reserves for future sales returns. In the event of actual returns, we will review the history of returns and estimate reserves for sales returns.

We provide rebates to certain end customers and record reductions to revenue for such rebates at the time the related revenue is recognized. Accruals for the amounts of these rebates are recorded based on the contractual or agreed upon rebate rate for products purchased by end customers and are presented in our consolidated balance sheets as accrued rebates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We continuously monitor cash collections from our distributors and end customers. Annually or as required, we perform credit evaluations of our distributors and end customers and adjust credit limits as applicable. Our policy is to record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specific collection issues we have identified and the aging of the underlying receivables and our historical experience of uncollectible balances. Based on our historical experience, we estimate collectability of our accounts receivable balances and determine the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. To date, we have not incurred any losses on receivables and have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. However, our prior experience may not be indicative of future losses and if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, allowances may be required and our estimates may be inadequate. Our accounts receivable are concentrated among relatively few distributors. Therefore, a change in liquidity or financial position of any one of these distributors could make it difficult for us to collect our accounts receivable and require us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts. We expect our allowance for doubtful accounts will increase in the future as we ship more units.

Inventory Valuation

We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is computed on a standard cost basis, which approximates actual cost on a weighted-average basis. Inventory consists primarily of the cost of semiconductors purchased from subcontractors, including wafer fabrication, assembly, testing and packaging, manufacturing support, including labor and overhead associated with such purchases, manufacturing yields and shipping costs. We write down our inventory for estimated amounts related to lower of cost or market, obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value. The estimated market value of the inventory is based on assumptions about future demand, future product purchase commitments, estimated manufacturing yield levels and market conditions on a product-by-product basis. To date, our inventory write downs have not been material. Once established, inventory reserves are not reversed until the related inventory has been sold or scrapped. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values and cost of revenue.

Product Warranty

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our subcontractors, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, the cost of replacement product, freight costs for failed parts and their replacement, failure analysis costs and other quality assurance resources. We monitor product returns for warranty and maintain an accrual for the related warranty expense based on our historical experience and industry experience. Should the actual failure rates or failure and quality assurance related costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual would be required. Warranty accrual has not been material to date.

Share-Based Compensation

Prior to April 1, 2006, we accounted for employee share-based awards, including options to purchase our common shares, using the intrinsic value method and recognized no share-based

compensation expense for options granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair-value of the underlying common share on the date of grant.

Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance for share-based compensation using the modified prospective transition method. Under the new authoritative accounting guidance, employee options are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and recognized to expense over the employee’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period, which we have elected to amortize on a straight-line basis. We estimate the grant date fair value of employee share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense recognized beginning in fiscal 2007 includes compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the previous accounting guidance, and compensation expense for all share-based payments granted after March 31, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new authoritative guidance. Such amounts have been reduced by our estimated forfeitures on all unvested awards. In addition, our consolidated statements of operations for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of the new accounting guidance.

We recognize non-employee share-based compensation expenses based on the estimated fair value of the equity instrument determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the accelerated vesting attribution method. The fair value of the non-employee share-based awards is remeasured at each reporting period until services required under the arrangement have been completed, which is the vesting date.

Share-based compensation expense is significant to our consolidated financial statements and is calculated using our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Significant estimates include fair value of the underlying shares, expected term, share price volatility and forfeiture rates.

We established the expected term and estimated forfeiture rates based on the historical average period of time that options were outstanding as adjusted for expected changes in future exercise patterns. We based our estimate of expected share price volatility on the historical share price volatilities of several public companies in the semiconductor industry, as we have been operating as a private company since inception with no active market for our shares. When selecting the public companies used in the volatility calculation, we selected companies in the semiconductor industry with comparable characteristics to us, including stage of development, number of commercialized products, lines of business, market capitalization, revenue and financial leverage. We also selected companies with historical share price volatility information sufficient to meet the expected life of our stock options. The historical volatility data was computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies’ shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of our stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding to the expected life of the options. The expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that we have not historically paid cash dividends and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

There are significant differences among option valuation models, and this may result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, such as a lattice model, the share-based compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and could materially affect our operating results.

In response to Section 409A and the regulations issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder, we have regularly conducted contemporaneous valuations to assist us in the determination of the fair value of our common shares. Our board of directors was regularly apprised that each valuation was being conducted and ensured that the relevant objective and subjective factors deemed important by our board of directors were accounted for in each valuation conducted. Our board of directors also ensured that the assumptions and inputs used in connection with such valuations reflected our board of director’s best estimate of our business condition, prospects and operating performance at each valuation date. The deemed fair value per common share underlying our stock option grants was determined by our board of directors with input from management at each grant date.

Set forth below is a summary of our stock option grants for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 to date and a summary of our contemporaneous valuations for such grants:

Historically, our board of directors reviewed and discussed a variety of factors when exercising its judgment in determining the deemed fair value of our common shares. These factors generally include the following:

Company specific factors

•

our operating and financial performance;

•

the introduction of new products;

•

the level of competition for our existing and planned products;

•

the amount and pricing of our preference share financings with outside investors in arm’s-length transactions;

•

the rights, preferences and privileges of those preference shares relative to those of our common shares;

•

the hiring of key personnel;

•

the lack of a public market for our common and preference shares;

•

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a sale of our company given prevailing market conditions and the nature and history of our business;

•

industry recognitions and awards; and

•

the development of end customer relationships.

Industry specific factors

•

industry information such as market growth and volume;

•

public trading prices of the common stock of companies in our industry;

•

emerging trends and issues; and

•

the performance of similarly-situated companies in our industry.

General economic factors

•

trends in consumer spending, including consumer confidence;

•

overall economic indicators, including gross domestic product, unemployment and manufacturing data; and

•

the general economic outlook.

Commencing April 1, 2008, our board of directors began utilizing a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the deemed fair value of our common shares consistent with the method outlined in the AICPA Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The probability-weighted expected return method is used to estimate the value of our common shares based upon an analysis of the future value of our common shares under each of the following scenarios occurring within a one, two, three and four year period from the date of each valuation:

•

an initial public offering of our common shares or sale to an acquiror at a price per common share resulting in the holders of our preference shares choosing to convert into common shares based on the economic value of the sale to such holders;

•

a sale to an acquiror at a price per common share resulting in the holders of our preference shares potentially choosing not to convert into common shares based on the economic value of the sale to such holders, thereby receiving their liquidation preference and a portion of the remaining proceeds;

•

remaining a private company; and

•

dissolution.

In applying this probability-weighted expected return method, the future value of the common shares was calculated utilizing two primary methods: the current-value method of allocation and an option-based valuation model. Our board of directors utilized the current-value method of allocation to calculate the future value of our common shares for the initial public offering, sale to an acquiror and dissolution scenarios. The determination of the common share future value is based on an allocation of the future enterprise value of Telegent among the holders of our preference shares based on the greater of their liquidation preferences or conversion values. The amount that remains after the allocation to the holders of our preference shares, or the residual amount, is allocated to the holders of the common shares. Our board of directors utilized the option-pricing method to calculate the future value of the common shares under the remaining as a private company scenario. Under this methodology, the determination of the common share future value is based on a valuation model whereby each class of shares is modeled as a call option with a unique claim on the assets of Telegent. The characteristics of each class of shares determine the uniqueness of each class’ claim on the assets and include liquidation preferences, participation features, convertibility features and ratios and value sharing among classes of shares.

Our board of directors also reviewed the aggregate enterprise value of the business determined by both a discounted cash flow valuation method and a market comparable method, incorporating adjustments to the enterprise value in light of their consideration of the general economic factors described above.

At each of the valuation dates, our board of directors, based on its discussions with our management, reviewed and determined the probability of the occurrence of each of the four scenarios in each of the subsequent four year periods. Our board then considered an appropriate marketability discount, reflecting the lack of marketability of our common shares, for each scenario in each of the subsequent four year periods. The marketability discount rates ranged from 1% to 35% and were determined by a quantitative marketability discount methodology. The particular marketability discount applied to each scenario event depended primarily upon the time between the valuation date and the scenario event date as well as the type of the event. Other inputs that were factored into the quantitative methodology were the estimated volatility of our common shares to the scenario event date and the expected risk-free interest rate to the expected event date.

Once the future value of each common share was determined under each scenario, it was then multiplied by a discount factor derived from the calculated discount rate and the expected timing of the event. The resulting value per common share was then multiplied by the estimated probability for each of the scenarios. The calculated value per common share under each scenario was then discounted for a lack of marketability and the probability-weighted fair value per common share was then determined.

In addition to the consideration of the general factors described above, the most significant factors that our board of directors considered in determining the aggregate enterprise value of Telegent were our revenue growth, the last twelve months trailing revenue multiples of our selected comparable public companies and the anticipated timing of a potential liquidity event, most specifically an initial public offering.

Discussion of Significant Factors from January 2009 through October 2009

January 1, 2009 through March 14, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during the period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: Our revenue decreased from $43.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $26.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, in large part due to the global economic crisis and its impact on our business during November and December 2008.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies decreased significantly from 2.7x to 1.7x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: Due to the severity of the global economic crisis, there was a high degree of uncertainty in the economy and general outlook for business and our board and management believed there was little chance of a liquidity event for Telegent in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors estimated a 90% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2009, and if we were still privately-held, a 55% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2010. If we are still privately-held as of August 2010, our board of directors estimated a 20% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

March 15, 2009 through April 29, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during the period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: Our revenue increased from $26.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, but still down from the three months ended September 30, 2008.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies decreased slightly from 1.7x to 1.6x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: Despite an increase in quarter over quarter revenue, the global economic crisis had not yet begun to show a measurable recovery and our board and management believed there was little chance of a liquidity event for Telegent in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors estimated a 95% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2009, and if still privately-held, a 50% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2010. If we are still privately-held as of August 2010, our board of directors estimated a 20% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

April 30, 2009 through May 30, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during this period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: The board of directors considered the quarterly revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and that monthly revenue for April 2009 had met our financial forecast.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies increased from 1.6x to 2.2x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: Our board of directors, after consultation with management, estimated a 100% probability and a 50% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2009 and August 2010, respectively. If we are still privately-held as of August 2010, our board of directors estimated a 20% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

May 31, 2009 through July 14, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during this period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: The board of directors considered the quarterly revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2009, that monthly revenue for both April 2009 and May 2009 met our financial forecast and that revenue appeared to be strong for three months ended June 30, 2009.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies increased from 2.2x to 2.4x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

July 15, 2009 through August 30, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during this period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: Our revenue increased from $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $49.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, which represented our highest quarterly revenue since our inception.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies increased from 2.4x to 2.9x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: The board of directors considered the relatively unstable global economic condition, the lack of initial public offerings and the sustainability of our revenue growth as critical considerations weakening the likelihood of a near term initial public offering or sale to an acquiror. The board of directors also believed the global economic situation presented a high level of uncertainty in the longer term, which also factored into the likelihood of an initial public offering in 2011. Despite our increased revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, our board of directors, after consultation with management, estimated a 100% probability and a 50% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2009 and August 2010, respectively. If we are still privately-held as of August 2010, our board of directors estimated a 20% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

August 31, 2009 through September 29, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board of directors and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during this period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: The board of directors considered the quarterly revenue growth for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and that revenue for July 2009 and August 2009 met our financial forecast.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies increased from 2.9x to 3.0x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: Despite our strong revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the apparent strength of the current quarter, our board of directors considered the small number of filers for initial public offerings and the uncertainty in the global economy to be critical considerations that weakened the likelihood of a near term initial public offering and presented a high level of uncertainty as to an initial public offering in the longer term. Our board of directors, after consultation with management, estimated a 50% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2010 and, if we are still privately-held as of August 2010, a 20% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

September 30, 2009 through October 31, 2009

The most significant factors considered by our board of directors and its probability assessment applied in determining the fair value of our common shares during this period were as follows:

•

Results of Operations: Our revenue increased from $49.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $61.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, which represented our highest quarterly revenue since our inception. The board of directors also considered our strong cash and liquid securities position, which had grown to over $134 million. The four consecutive quarters of revenue growth was a significant component in the increase in our aggregate enterprise value factoring into the increase in our common share fair value.

•

Market Multiples: The revenue multiple of our selected comparable semiconductor companies increased from 3.0x to 3.2x the trailing twelve months revenue.

•

Scenario Probabilities: In September 2009, our board of directors initiated preliminary discussions with management with regard to preparations for an initial public offering. However, the board of directors still considered the small number of filers for initial public offerings and the still fragile global economic situation as critical considerations that weakened the likelihood of a near term initial public offering and presented a high level of uncertainty as to an initial public offering in the longer term. In light of our strong revenue growth for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and the apparent strengthening in the capital markets, our board of directors, after consultation with management, estimated a 45% probability that we

would remain privately-held through August 2010 and, if we are still privately-held as of August 2010, a 25% probability that we would remain privately-held through August 2011.

•

Preparations for Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to our September 15, 2009 meeting of the board of directors, we prepared for a potential initial public offering, including interviewing and selecting underwriters and establishing a potential initial public offering timeframe. By the October 14, 2009 meeting of our board of directors, the board had approved management’s recommendation of an underwriting group and its recommended timeframe for an initial public offering.

Aggregate Intrinsic Value of Outstanding Stock Options

Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the range reflected on the cover page of this prospectus, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options vested and expected to vest as of March 1, 2010 was $ million, of which $ million related to vested options and $ million related to options expected to vest.


	December 31, 2009	Weighted Average Price		IPO Price	Excess of IPO Price	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Vested	7,790,963	$	0.69	$	$	$
Expected to vest	11,119,165	$	4.59	$	$	$

Total vested & expected to vest	18,910,128	$	2.98			$

The accounting guidance for share-based compensation prohibits the recognition of a deferred tax asset for an excess tax benefit that has not yet been realized. As a result, we only recognize a benefit from share-based compensation in paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized or realizable after all other tax attributes currently available to us have been utilized.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby we estimate the income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets.

We must also make judgments whether the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets is based on our belief that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income in particular jurisdictions to realize these deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets which we do not believe meet the “more likely than not” criteria. Our judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If our assumptions and consequently our estimates change in the future, the valuation allowances we have established may be increased or decreased, resulting in a respective increase or decrease in income tax expense. Our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings or losses, the tax laws and regulations in each geographical region, the availability of tax credits and carryforwards and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.

In July 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the consolidated

financial statements. The guidance further prescribes the benefit to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The interpretation also clarifies the consolidated financial statements classification of tax related penalties and interest and set forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. We adopted the guidance on April 1, 2007 and the provisions of the guidance have been applied to all income tax positions commencing from that date. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2009

Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 were as follows:


	Six Months Ended September 30,
	Six Months Ended September 30,						Change
	2008			2009			$		%
	(dollars in thousands)
Revenue	$	66,884		$	111,116		$	44,232	66	%
Cost of revenue		21,501			37,832			16,331	76

Gross profit	$	45,383		$	73,284		$	27,901	61

Gross margin		68	%		66	%		—	(2	)%

Revenue. Revenue increased primarily due to a 124% increase in the number of units sold, partially offset by a 26% decline in our average selling price period over period due in part to the adoption of our rebate program in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We believe the increase in product sales was driven in part by increased adoption of our second generation product, an increase in the number of mobile handset designs incorporating our products and increased penetration by our end customers of new markets, supported in part by an increase in our sales and marketing personnel, and additional business development and marketing programs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we asked distributors or field personnel to check end customer requirements and inventory levels to determine whether a request to ship our products at a later date than originally expected would harm the business of that end customer. Based on a review of certain point of sale data, documentation regarding requests made of certain end customers, to the extent available, to delay shipments and our analysis of such data, we estimate the impact of these requests on the six months ended September 30, 2008 was a reduction in revenue of between approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased due to higher product and manufacturing costs associated with the increased number of units purchased by end customers, a shift in product mix towards our second generation product and an increase in cost of manufacturing operations, partially offset by a lower cost of wafers and manufacturing cost per unit.

Gross Margin. Gross margin decreased primarily due to a decline in average selling price, partially offset by lower costs per unit, as described above.

Operating Expenses, Interest Income and Income Taxes

Operating expenses, interest income and income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 were as follows:


	Six Months Ended September 30,								Change
	2008				2009
	Amount		% of Revenue		Amount		% of Revenue
	Amount		% of Revenue		Amount		% of Revenue		$			%

Sales and marketing		3,273	5			4,778	4			1,505		46
General and administrative		2,460	4			4,182	4			1,722		70

Total operating expenses	$	17,359	26	%	$	28,560	26	%	$	11,201		65	%

Interest income	$	371	—		$	71	—		$	(300	)	(81	)%
Provision for income taxes	$	2,380	4	%	$	5,409	5	%	$	3,029		127	%

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense increased primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount, resulting in a $4.5 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, an increase in spending on software and hardware tools, engineering services and cost of mask sets resulting in an increase of $2.6 million in product development costs and an increase in facilities expenses of $798,000. Overall, the increase in research and development expense is primarily attributable to the continued development of our product portfolio.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense increased primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing headcount, resulting in an $855,000 increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, and an increase of $510,000 in costs associated with sales and marketing activities and services. The increase in sales and marketing expense was incurred to support a higher number of mobile handset designs and the expansion of worldwide sales and marketing activities.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to an increase in finance, human resources, administration and information technology staff headcount, resulting in a $1.1 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense and an increase of $311,000 in professional fees for outside legal, accounting, valuation and consulting services pertaining to general corporate matters, preparation for our initial public offering and expansion of our support and services infrastructure.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased primarily due to a decrease in the effective interest rates earned on our cash and investments despite higher overall balances of cash and investments.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased primarily as a result of a $16.4 million increase in income before income taxes. We expect our effective tax rate to increase from 7.6% in fiscal 2009 to approximately 12.0% in fiscal 2010. This expected increase is primarily due to the changes in distribution of sales of our products among geographical regions, as well as the release of a portion of our valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in fiscal 2009.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2008 and 2009

Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 were as follows:


	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,						Change
	2008			2009			$		%
	(dollars in thousands)
Revenue	$	49,607		$	123,877		$	74,270	150	%
Cost of revenue		17,435			39,674			22,239	128

Gross profit	$	32,172		$	84,203		$	52,031	162	%

Gross margin		65	%		68	%		—	3	%

Revenue. Revenue increased primarily due to a 200% increase in the number of units sold, offset in part by a 17% decline in our average selling price period over period. We believe the increase in sales was driven by an increase in market penetration of our products, supported in part by an increase in sales and marketing headcount, additional marketing programs and the launch of our second generation product in September 2008.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased due to higher product and manufacturing costs associated with the increased number of units purchased by end customers, partially offset by a lower cost of wafers and manufacturing costs for our first generation product.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased primarily due to the average cost per unit decreasing faster than the decline in our average selling price.

Operating Expenses, Interest Income and Income Taxes

Operating expenses, interest income and income taxes for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 were as follows:


	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,								Change

Provision for income taxes	$	2,900	6	%	$	3,378	3	%	$	478		16	%

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense increased primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount, resulting in a $5.5 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, an increase in spending on software and hardware tools, engineering services, licensing costs relating to the use of intellectual property for the development of our products and cost of mask sets, resulting in a $2.9 million increase in product development costs, and an increase in facilities expenses of $1.3 million, which was primarily due to our move to our new facility in California in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in personnel and product development expenses were primarily attributable to the development of our product portfolio.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense increased primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing headcount, resulting in a $2.6 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense and an increase of $1.4 million in costs associated with sales and marketing activities and services. The increase in sales and marketing expense was incurred to support a higher number of mobile handset device designs and the expansion of worldwide sales and marketing activities.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to an increase in finance, human resources, administration and information technology headcount, resulting in a $2.1 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense and an increase of $558,000 in professional fees for outside legal, accounting, valuation and consulting services. The increase in general and administrative expense was the result of expansion of our support and services infrastructure.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased primarily due to a decrease in the effective interest rates earned on our cash and investments despite higher overall balances of cash and investments.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased primarily as a result of a $34.2 million increase in income before income taxes. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we recognized a $1.2 million income tax benefit, as a result of a release of a portion of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. The recognition of the income tax benefit, as well as a difference in the distribution of sales of our products among different geographical regions, resulted in the reduction of our effective tax rate for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2007 and 2008

Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit (loss) and gross margin for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008 were as follows:

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense increased primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount, resulting in a $3.6 million increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, an increase of $3.0 million in product development costs and an increase in facilities expenses of $477,000.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense increased primarily due to an increase of $958,000 in costs associated with marketing activities and services and an increase in sales and marketing headcount, resulting in an $878,000 increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to an increase of $869,000 in professional fees for outside legal, accounting, valuation and consulting services and an increase in finance, human resources, administration and information technology staff headcount, resulting in a $634,000 increase in personnel costs and share-based compensation expense. The increase in professional fees and personnel costs related to the implementation of our international operations structure.

Interest Income. Interest income increased primarily due to higher cash and investment balances following the closings of our Series C preference share financing in fiscal 2008.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased as a result of achieving profitability in fiscal 2008 and recording a tax provision associated with that income. In fiscal 2007, we did not record any income tax expense or benefit because we had not achieved profitability.

In the ordinary course of business, our products are shipped by distributors to end customers at various times during a fiscal quarter, based on inventory levels, customer requests and other factors, including, but not limited to, manufacturing capacity and yields at our third-party fabrication facilities, shipping logistics, anticipated consumer demand for end customer products and timing thereof. Therefore, our shipment schedules are regularly reviewed and adjusted to meet our operational requirements and those of our end customers, in some instances accelerating shipments and in others delaying shipments. In the past, specifically during the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, we asked distributors or field personnel to check end customer requirements and inventory levels, to determine whether a request to ship our products at a later date than originally expected would harm the business of that end customer. These requests were made with the intent of delaying the recognition of revenue from such end customers until the subsequent quarter. Because we recognize revenue when distributors sell our products to end customers, such postponed shipments affected our financial results. If the end customer accepted delivery at a later date, it resulted in revenue being recognized in a quarter later than it would have been absent postponement of the shipment. The delayed shipments were limited to the three months ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and resulted in an impact on our results for the three months ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2009. Based on a review of certain point of sale data, documentation regarding requests made of certain end customers, to the extent available, to delay shipments and our analysis of such data, we estimate the impact of these requests on the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 was a reduction in revenue of between approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million related to the delayed shipments in September 2008. We estimate the impact of the requests on the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 was an increase in revenue between approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million related to the delayed shipments in September 2008, as offset by a reduction of approximately $1.0 million related to the delayed shipments in December 2008, resulting in a net increase in revenue of up to $200,000. We estimate the impact of the requests on the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 was an increase in revenue of approximately $1.0 million related to the delayed shipments in December 2008. To the extent we in the future make requests of our distributors or end customers to delay the timing of product shipments by distributors and to the extent those requests have a material impact on our results for a particular quarter or expected future revenue trends, we will disclose and quantify such impact in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by applicable rules.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We financed our operating activities and capital expenditures during fiscal 2007 primarily through proceeds from the issuances of our redeemable convertible preference shares. We achieved profitability on an annual basis beginning in fiscal 2008 and on a quarterly basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. We have funded our operating activities and capital expenditures primarily through cash flow from operations since fiscal 2008. As of March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $78.8 million and $134.9 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:


	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,								Six Months Ended September 30,

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(2,642	)	$	24,347	$	44,326		$	25,004		$	(14,816	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $26.5 million in the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $13.3 million increase in net income. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, the other primary sources of cash provided by operating activities were a $6.8 million increase in accounts payable primarily related to increased inventory purchases to support increased revenue, and a $5.5 million increase in accrued expenses as a result of the introduction of end customer rebates. In comparison for the six months ended September 30, 2008, cash flows from operating activities included a $8.7 million reduction in inventories due to the sell down of high inventory levels at March 31, 2008, partially offset by a $6.1 million increase in prepaid expenses due to the prepayment for tools and services used for product development.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $48.9 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $33.8 million increase in net income. During fiscal 2009, the other primary source of cash provided by operating activities was a $5.5 million decrease in inventories due to the sell down of high inventory levels at March 31, 2008, offset by a $5.6 million increase in prepaid expenses due to the prepayment for tools and services used for product development.

In fiscal 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $624,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2007 of $9.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an $18.8 million improvement in our results from a net loss to net income, partially offset by a $13.8 million increase in inventories in order to meet expected future demand.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $8.0 million and $74.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cash used was primarily a result of net purchases of short-term investments of $7.1 million and $70.9 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $858,000 and $3.5 million, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities was $5.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 due to the $1.9 million net purchases of short-term investments and purchases of property and equipment of $3.6 million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $6.3 million and $3.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, primarily resulting from net maturities of short-term investments, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $319,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $258,000 and $365,000 in the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and resulted from the exercise of options to purchase our common shares.

Cash provided by financing activities was $338,000, $20.4 million and $393,000 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and resulted from the exercise of options to purchase our common shares net of payments on lease obligations and, in fiscal 2008, due to proceeds from the Series C preference share financing.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We believe the net proceeds from this offering, together with the cash generated from operations, our cash balances, and interest income we earn on these balances will be sufficient to meet our

anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months. In the future, we expect our operating and capital expenditures to increase as we increase headcount, expand our business activities, grow our end customer base and implement and enhance our information technology and enterprise resource planning system. We also expect to increase credit limits and terms we offer to distributors and end customers that purchase products directly from us. We expect our accounts receivable and inventory balances to increase, partially offset by increases in accounts payable, which will result in higher needs for working capital. If our available cash balances and net proceeds from this offering are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell equity or convertible debt securities or enter into a credit facility. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

Our estimates of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations and the costs to support research and development and our sales and marketing activities are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in the section “Risk Factors” of this prospectus. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Our short and long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

•

our ability to generate cash from operations;

•

our ability to control our costs;

•

the emergence of competing or complementary technological developments;

•

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, or participating in litigation-related activities; and

•

the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal contractual obligations consisted of operating leases for office facilities, capital leases for office equipment and non-cancellable purchase obligations primarily related to inventory purchases and license and maintenance fees under certain software license and maintenance agreements.

The following table summarizes our outstanding contractual obligations as of March 31, 2009 and the effect those obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

(3)

Represents our liabilities for uncertain tax positions and related interest of $3.8 million and $215,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2009. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of payments in individual years due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions.

Subsequent to March 31, 2009, we entered into several lease agreements for our offices in the United States and China, as well as other geographical locations and placed additional orders to purchase inventories. These new leases and purchase orders have materially changed our contractual obligations since March 31, 2009. The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:


	Payment Due by Period as of September 30, 2009

(3)

Represents our liabilities for uncertain tax positions and related interest of $6.8 million and $373,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2009. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of payments in individual years due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since our inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $32.5 million, $78.8 million and $134.9 million as of March 31, 2008 and 2009, and September 30, 2009, respectively. Our short-term investments consist of money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our investments are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash invested in money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. Due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio, a movement in interest rates of 100 basis points during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 or the six months ended September 30, 2009 would not have had a material effect on the fair market value of our investment portfolio or interest income.

Foreign Currency Risk

All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. We therefore have no foreign currency risk associated with sale of products. The functional currency of all our entities is the U.S. dollar. Our operations outside of the United States incur operating expenses and hold assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, principally the RMB, the Taiwan dollar, the Euro and the Hong Kong dollar. As a result, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, we believe that the exposure to foreign currency fluctuation is immaterial at this time as the related costs do not constitute a significant portion of our total expenses. As we grow our operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant. To date, we have not entered in to any foreign currency hedging contracts, and currently do not expect to enter into foreign currency exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance

In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for business combinations, which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its consolidated financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance applies prospectively to our business combinations, if any, for which the acquisition date was on or after April 1, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted the new guidance and the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Effective April 1, 2008, we adopted the new authoritative guidance for fair value measurements with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements with respect to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The adoption of the guidance for fair value measurement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and the resulting fair values calculated after adoption were not significantly different than the fair values that would have been calculated under previous guidance. The guidance for the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities provides companies the irrevocable option to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. We have not elected to measure any financial assets or liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value.

Effective April 1, 2009, we also adopted the new authoritative guidance for determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, we adopted new authoritative guidance for recognition and presentation of other than temporary impairments, which amends the previous guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to

improve the presentation and disclosure of other than temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the consolidated financial statements. Where credit losses exist, the portion of the impairment related to those credit losses should be recognized in earnings. The adoption of the accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to subsequent events, which establishes general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles that existed in the auditing standards. This accounting guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for variable interest entities, which changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. The new accounting guidance will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Effective July 2009, the FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Codification, or the Codification, as the official single source of authoritative GAAP. All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant SEC guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification. Following the Codification, FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operation.

In September 2009, the FASB reached final consensus on a new revenue recognition guidance regarding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new accounting guidance addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, and how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The new accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. In addition, early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

BUSINESS

Overview

To facilitate and accelerate the adoption of our television-on-a-chip solutions, we develop and foster relationships with and among mobile multimedia device manufacturers, wireless network operators, distributors, retailers and, in some cases, broadcasters. Our approach is to use this ecosystem of relationships to drive consumer awareness and demand, help our distributors and end customers successfully penetrate new markets and expand their businesses globally and create new opportunities for operators, broadcasters and other market participants to benefit from the convergence of broadcast television and mobile multimedia devices.

Our solutions utilize existing analog free-to-air broadcast television content and infrastructure to enable delivery of familiar broadcast television to virtually any mobile multimedia device with a display. We believe we were the first to successfully integrate analog television technology on a single chip to meet the small form factor, low power consumption and mobile signal sensitivity requirements of mobile handsets. Our current products address all analog broadcast television standards worldwide, which are available to approximately 93% of the world’s population. We recently introduced a hybrid solution for notebook PCs and netbooks, which enables both analog and digital free-to-air broadcast television reception in countries that have adopted the DVB-T digital standard, and we plan to develop solutions to address additional consumer devices and digital standards. Our system-level design is independent of, and compatible with, a wide range of mobile handset baseband platforms, application processors and operating systems. We believe our technology can also be incorporated into a broad range of mobile multimedia devices, including notebooks, netbooks, personal media players, handheld game consoles and personal navigation devices.

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 2004. From inception through the quarter ended September 2006, we were a development stage company, developing our first generation analog television-on-a-chip solution. In the quarter ended December 2006, we commenced commercial sales. Our structure allows us to efficiently raise funds and to deploy cash for worldwide operations and allows us to locally support our international customers and to locally purchase from our international suppliers. We believe that incorporating in the Cayman Islands has allowed us the flexibility in raising funds from international investors, as such jurisdiction is well known to and respected by global investors. The Cayman Islands also provides us the ability to efficiently deploy cash to support our worldwide operations because it imposes no limitations on movement of currency into or out of the jurisdiction. We have established subsidiaries in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in order to locate our sales and customer support staff and other personnel proximate to our customers in Asia. To purchase products and services from our vendors, located primarily outside the United States, we have also established subsidiaries in Singapore and the Netherlands.

We currently have more than 80 end customers, most of which are located in China. Since our inception, over 50 million of our products have been incorporated into mobile handsets sold to consumers in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, China and Russia/CIS. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we shipped on average more than one million units per week. Our end customers, based on unit shipments for calendar year 2008, include eight of the top ten mobile handset IDHs in China (as reported by iSuppli Corporation), Wingtech Group Incorporation Limited, Eidolon Communications Technology Co., Ltd., Longcheer Telecommunication (HK) Limited, Hong Kong United Electronics Co., Limited, Xima (HK) International Trading Co., Limited, Max Vision (Shanghai) LTD, Huaqin Telecom Hong Kong Limited and AGold Communications (Shanghai) Co.

Industry Background

Rapid Consumer Adoption of Mobile Multimedia Devices

There are estimated to be over 4.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide in 2009 according to Forward Concepts. Growing worldwide demand for wireless communications and mobile multimedia applications is driving the proliferation of mobile multimedia devices, including mobile handsets, notebook and netbook computers, personal media players, handheld game consoles and personal navigation devices. According to In-Stat, 1.6 billion of these devices were shipped worldwide in 2008, approximately 1.3 billion of which were mobile handsets, making mobile handsets the most widely adopted mobile device today. We believe growth in the handset market will be particularly strong in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, China, India, South America, Eastern Europe and Africa. According to Forward Concepts, mobile handset shipments to these markets are expected to increase from 823 million units in 2008 to 1.2 billion units in 2013. These emerging markets combine a large mobile handset market with strong consumer demand for analog broadcast television.

The large size of the mobile multimedia device market is attracting an increasing number of mobile device manufacturers, many of which are based in China and Taiwan. A number of these emerging suppliers have experienced rapid growth because of their ability to respond quickly to the latest market trends and offer innovative features, often well ahead of incumbent mobile device manufacturers. According to iSuppli, emerging device manufacturers in China are expected to ship 363 million mobile handsets in 2009. These suppliers often have an advantage in penetrating developing markets where cost is a major factor and mobile device adoption is growing rapidly. As a result of the market penetration of these emerging device manufacturers, large, well established mobile device manufacturers are also starting to incorporate new features in their handsets more rapidly. In addition, they are increasing their focus on the emerging markets due to their growth prospects. Overall, these trends are accelerating the pace of innovation and adoption of new features in mobile handsets.

Analog Free-to-Air Broadcast Television: The Most Widely Available Source of Real Time Information and Entertainment Globally

time news, sports and entertainment and, in many countries, broadcast television is a primary means of disseminating information to the public. According to DisplaySearch, approximately 200 million televisions are expected to be shipped in 2009 and, according to Eurodata, the average time spent per day watching television is over three hours. According to ZenithOptimedia, spending on global television advertising amounted to nearly $187 billion in 2008. The time and monetary investments made in this ecosystem, as well as the breadth and relevance of available content, have resulted in a

high degree of consumer familiarity with the content and the schedules of existing broadcasts. Proliferation of free-to-air broadcast television on mobile multimedia devices creates new opportunities for broadcasters, advertisers and other ecosystem participants by widening the audience and increasing the amount of time consumers spend watching television.

Market Opportunity for Convergence of Broadcast Television and Mobile Multimedia Device Ecosystems

Until recently, most consumers around the world could only watch free-to-air broadcasts on stationary television sets. By enabling mobile handsets to receive free-to-air broadcasts, our solutions give consumers greater opportunity to watch live television and expand the potential audience for broadcasters and advertisers. With the technological breakthroughs that now make reception of free-to-air broadcast television content possible on mobile multimedia devices, consumers are showing an increasing interest in and demand for mobile television. According to Forward Concepts, annual shipments of mobile handsets with analog free-to-air broadcast television capability will reach 40 million units in 2009, representing 52% of total broadcast mobile television shipments. We believe actual units sold may exceed these estimates. The convergence of the broadcast television and wireless communications markets enables new opportunities for participants in these industries, including:

•

Broadcasters have an opportunity to reach a higher percentage of the global population for longer periods of time;

•

Advertisers can reach more people more frequently;

•

Wireless network operators can offer a highly sought-after product without any required investment in infrastructure, spectrum or content;

•

Mobile device manufacturers can differentiate their products by adding a highly demanded feature; and

•

Consumers all over the world can access familiar free-to-air broadcast content any time, anywhere.

Global Free-to-Air Broadcast Television Standards

The majority of global free-to-air broadcast television is transmitted in analog format today. A limited number of countries, including the United States and a few Western European countries, broadcast only in digital format, while some broadcast in both analog and digital. In many countries that have both analog and digital free-to-air broadcasts, analog broadcasts are often available in regions where digital broadcasts are not accessible or have not yet been deployed. Over time, various countries expect to adopt and transition to digital broadcasting standards. However, due to the complexity of, and costs associated with, replacing existing infrastructure and transitioning entire populations to digital, analog shutoff plans may take longer than anticipated. Until digital coverage is pervasive in a region or country, broadcasters will continue to transmit in analog as well as digital formats, thereby creating the need for hybrid devices capable of receiving both types of broadcasts. Based on announcements by various countries regarding their digital transition plans, we believe approximately 93% of the world’s population currently has access to analog broadcast and that approximately 88% will continue to receive analog broadcast television during 2013.

The following map illustrates the current status of free-to-air analog and digital television broadcasting available in at least a portion of the countries indicated below:

Free-to-air broadcast television standards vary among countries. Each standard specifies unique requirements, such as encoding, modulation, sensitivity, error correction, frequency and interference rejection. Developing products to address these various standards requires expertise in RF mixed-signal, communications signal processing and multimedia processing. The following chart highlights major global free-to-air broadcast television standards and, for those countries utilizing analog broadcast standards that have publicly announced planned shut off, the year of such analog shut off:

Market Challenges

Historically, the adoption of mobile television has faced the following challenges:

Broadcast systems have been designed and optimized for transmission to stationary devices. Broadcasters transmit specially encoded radio frequency signals over the air, typically to stationary televisions that receive and play broadcast content. Broadcasters are incentivized to maximize the amount of content transmitted across the limited spectrum they possess and rely upon the receiver to compensate for signal degradation, interference, distortion, and other types of errors. A high-quality broadcast receiver must receive and decode signals over a wide range of transmission frequencies and signal strengths, conceal signal errors without requiring retransmission, and extract accurate information from channels cluttered by multiple feeds. Any stationary television that receives free-to-air broadcast requires a large antenna and an external power source, and consists of hundreds of components, including individual semiconductor devices such as a tuner, demodulator, decoder, audio signal processor, video signal processor and output interface, among other items. Stationary broadcast television reception and processing capabilities have proven to be exceedingly difficult to integrate into mobile multimedia devices such as mobile handsets.

Broadcast television reception and decoding is more challenging in mobile devices. To achieve a level of quality and functionality comparable to receivers in stationary environments, mobile broadcast television receivers must simultaneously address limitations such as significantly smaller form factors of mobile multimedia devices, power limitations of batteries, variable and low signal strengths due to limited antenna size, Doppler effect caused by movement of the receiving device, transmission channel characteristics which can change rapidly across time and frequency, and increased level of interference from other subsystems in a densely packed mobile device. Historical efforts to integrate the components required for mobile broadcast television reception have led to sacrifices in performance and insufficient signal conditioning and error correction, resulting in unacceptable picture quality and power consumption.

Significant barriers exist to broad adoption of digital broadcast television standards. Based on announcements by individual countries, we believe approximately 93% of the world’s population currently has access to broadcast television in analog formats. While many countries expect to adopt and transition to digital broadcasting standards over time, the transition process has been, and we expect it to continue to be, challenging and time consuming. Some countries have already attempted to make the transition and experienced significant delays. As an example, the United States did not complete the transition from analog to digital until 2009, several years later than anticipated. The United Kingdom is in the process of making the transition, but digital broadcasts are still not available in many regions of the country. Transitioning to digital broadcast television standards requires significant investment from broadcasters, governments and consumers to replace existing infrastructure and television equipment. This can result in inconsistent digital signal coverage in various urban and rural areas as levels of investment in and roll-out of digital broadcast infrastructure can vary. Further complications involve politics, spectrum reallocation and competing digital broadcast standards within countries and around the world. As a result, we believe approximately 88% of the world’s population will continue to receive analog broadcast television during 2013.

Proprietary multimedia content delivery services are expensive and unfamiliar. Proprietary standards and methods of delivery of multimedia content to mobile devices require significant investment and are unfamiliar to consumers. Many wireless network operators have made significant investments in spectrum and proprietary broadcast networks to deliver entertainment and information content to mobile multimedia devices, but they still lag broadcast free-to-air television in both coverage and content. Furthermore, the high cost of investments typically necessitates that wireless network operators and mobile content providers charge subscription fees to access their content. Some less

costly approaches have also been explored, such as video service offerings over the operators’ established data communications networks. However, the large bandwidth requirements of video packet transmission slows other voice and data traffic on those networks and inhibits overall network performance. In addition, these approaches do not obviate the need to pay licensing fees to the content owners. Ultimately, subscribers still bear incrementally higher costs, and content is generally unfamiliar or often available at unfamiliar times. Other challenges include disparate, evolving and competing broadcast standards, revenue models, digital rights management and regulatory and legal complexities. As a result, we believe adoption rates for proprietary mobile entertainment and information services have remained low.

Lack of optimized system-level solutions and suppliers that can address varying global market demands. The market for mobile multimedia devices is global and highly competitive. Manufacturers differentiate their mobile multimedia devices by adding new features, but often find it challenging to keep track of varying geographical consumer tastes, and distribution, retail and operator ecosystems. Free-to-air mobile television is a differentiating feature we believe to be increasingly demanded by consumers. As a result, mobile device manufacturers are eager to provide solutions to access free-to-air broadcast content, but many do not have the expertise to successfully integrate this feature nor the deep knowledge of the free-to-air broadcast and wireless communications ecosystems to cost-effectively bring these devices to market. Established and emerging mobile device manufacturers need suppliers who understand the tastes and content consumption preferences of representative consumer populations around the world, have cultivated and established relationships with distributors, retailers, wireless operators and broadcasters, and can deliver complete system-level solutions that are easy and cost-effective to integrate.

Our Solutions

We believe that prior to the commercialization of our solutions, there was no market for analog free-to-air broadcast television on mobile multimedia devices due to the long-standing technical challenges associated with architecting an end-to-end mobile television-on-a-chip. By enabling the use of existing infrastructure and broadcast content on a wider array of devices, we believe we are creating a new market opportunity for broadcasters, wireless network operators, and mobile device manufacturers.

Our solutions address the fundamental challenges associated with the convergence of the broadcast television and mobile multimedia device ecosystems. We have leveraged our core technical expertise in communications signal processing, RF and mixed-signal design, and multimedia processing to develop system-level solutions that enable our customers to offer mobile multimedia devices capable of receiving, processing and displaying free-to-air broadcast television. As a result, consumers are no longer limited to watching live television broadcasts on conventional stationary television sets and can now access the same free-to-air broadcast content on mobile handsets and portable computers.

Key attributes of our solutions include the following:

Highly integrated television-on-a-chip architecture. Our television-on-a-chip technology is designed to enable practically any device with a display to become a television. We integrate all IC components necessary to receive, process and display television signals, including an RF tuner, demodulator, decoder, video processor and universal interfaces, on a single CMOS system-on-a-chip. This highly integrated approach delivers significant performance and feature benefits such as a small footprint, ease of design-in and low cost. Our solutions are specifically designed to reduce overall television system power requirements in mobile multimedia devices, enabling up to six hours of continuous viewing time on a single battery charge.

Support of broadcast television standards available to the majority of the global population. Our solutions support many free-to-air broadcast television standards used across the world, including NTSC, PAL, SECAM and DVB-T. We believe our solutions enable reception and display of analog free-to-air broadcast content available to approximately 93% of the world’s population. We offer solutions for free-to-air broadcasts in analog formats, as well as a hybrid analog and DVB-T digital solution to provide consistent analog coverage where digital television broadcast is not yet available, as well as backward compatibility in areas that may have simultaneous digital and analog broadcast coverage.

Advanced RF mixed-signal design. Our solutions feature our proprietary CMOS RF mixed-signal system implementation, which is designed to meet the stringent signal reception requirements for making free-to-air television mobile. As a result, our products receive signals across the wide range of frequencies used by free-to-air television broadcasts, and reject the many strong sources of interference across frequencies, while using an antenna one-tenth the size of a conventional television antenna. Our RF designs meet stringent linearity and filtering requirements and avoid the high power consumption and bulky components used by traditional television receiver circuits. Integrating RF components onto the same silicon as a complex digital system also requires advanced techniques to prevent digital clocks and switching noise from injecting spurious signals into the RF path. We utilize advanced automatic gain and frequency control algorithms to handle the rapidly changing signal strengths from a mobile environment and to avoid system overload from strong, unwanted transmissions.

Embedded signal processing techniques. Our products incorporate proprietary, embedded signal processing techniques that enable high performance reception, processing and display of broadcast television content on mobile multimedia devices in highly variable signal strength environments. Our techniques and algorithms increase sensitivity to enhance reception of weak signals, reduce system size and power consumption by moving analog tasks into the digital domain, compensate for Doppler shifts during mobile reception, preserve picture quality during deep fades from mobile channels, and reject unwanted signals from both in-band and out-of-band interference. As a result, mobile multimedia devices incorporating our solutions are capable of receiving analog free-to-air broadcast content while traveling at speeds of up to 430 kilometers per hour.

End-to-end system-level design. Our end-to-end system-level design enables our end customers to integrate our television-on-a-chip solutions into any mobile device and to bring these devices to market quickly and cost-effectively. Our solutions are independent of and compatible with a wide range of mobile handset baseband platforms, application processors and operating systems and consume minimal memory, processing and power resources. Our system-level design greatly reduces the engineering resources required by our end customers to design our chips into their products and eliminates the need to tune multiple components. Our solutions communicate with other components via standard interfaces to receive and translate video input from any antenna and provide high quality video output to nearly any display. We also deliver a full suite of software and firmware drivers as well as system reference designs to accelerate the adoption of our solutions into any mobile device.

Furthermore, we also seek to increase integration of our system-level solutions by incorporating additional components, functions and features to reduce overall size and cost of the mobile television system.

Apply our technical expertise to address new market opportunities in communications or computing. We intend to leverage our core technical expertise in system-level and RF mixed-signal design, communications signal processing and multimedia processing to develop complete, end-to-end system solutions to address additional communications or computing end markets.

Our Products and Technology

Our products are highly integrated system-on-a-chip, or SoC, semiconductor devices with embedded software that enable reception, processing and display of broadcast content on mobile multimedia devices. We began developing our first mobile analog television, or ATV, SoC in 2004 and began shipping this product in October 2006. In September 2008, we introduced our second generation ATV product which added SECAM and FM stereo radio support, while reducing the total cost. In January 2009, we also expanded our product line to include a hybrid product for portable computing platforms that is compatible with both analog and DVB-T digital broadcast television, and we intend to introduce a hybrid product for mobile handset platforms. Some of our future solutions may be system-in-a-package semiconductor devices.

Our highly integrated products are designed to deliver optimized picture quality in mobile environments with low power consumption. Our products utilize an innovative, patented architecture and advanced embedded algorithms to overcome a wide range of impediments to receiving free-to-air broadcast signals on mobile devices, including those caused by signal reflections, movement of the mobile device at high speeds, and variable signal strength.

Today, we have three families of Telegent television-on-a-chip products, comprising mobile analog TV, mobile hybrid TV and hybrid TV for computing platforms.

lowering power consumption to increase viewing time; and

•

expanding the number of mobile devices on which mobile television is accessible.

Customers

We sell substantially all of our products through distributors and, in limited cases, directly to the end customer. Our distributors take the inventory, credit and currency risks and provide logistics support. Our products have been incorporated by more than 80 end customers in fiscal 2010. Since our inception, over 50 million of our products have been incorporated into mobile handsets and notebooks sold to consumers in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, China and Russia/CIS. Substantially all of our historical revenue has been derived from sales through distributors to end customers in China.

For fiscal 2008, two distributors accounted for 79% of our revenue. Specifically, Silone MagCard, Inc. and Silone International Limited, or collectively, Silone, represented 55% and Serial Microelectronics (HK) Limited, or Serial, represented 24% of our fiscal 2008 revenue. For fiscal 2009 and for the first six months of fiscal 2010, three distributors accounted for 92% and 99% of our revenue, respectively. Specifically, Silone represented 56% and 53%, Serial represented 29% and 29% and EDOM Technology Co. Ltd. represented 8% and 16% of our revenue for fiscal 2009 and the first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively.

We do not have long-term agreements with distributors or end customers to purchase our products. We generally sell our products on the basis of standard purchase orders, which can be cancelled or deferred without incurring a penalty if the end customer gives notice within an agreed upon period as defined by the end customer’s terms and conditions.

Sales and Marketing

We maintain close relationships with the distributors of our products as well as the end customers. As part of our sales and marketing activities, we provide end customers with market intelligence, and assistance in their product design, testing and qualification.

Our business development group focuses on engagements with wireless network operators, television broadcasters, mobile device distributors, retail chains, regulatory agencies and mobile device manufacturers. We believe this facilitates the introduction of new products into existing markets, and also

prepares new markets for the introduction of free-to-air broadcast mobile television-enabled devices. Our business development group assists in market development and expansion by, for example, bringing together our existing and potential end customers with wireless network operators, educating distributors and retail chains in key markets of interest as well as by conducting surveying, marketing, training and other promotional activities. We believe our focus on market development activities and relationships with the various wireless communications and broadcast television ecosystem participants represents a key differentiator from other participants in the mobile television space.

Our marketing group focuses on product strategy, product development, roadmap development, new product introduction processes, program management, customer demand assessment and creation and competitive analysis. The group also works to ensure that product development, customer acceptance, product launch and marketing activities are coordinated internally with our engineering, operations and sales groups, as well as externally with end customers. We occasionally provide advertising support to our end customers. Marketing activities are enhanced by a focused communications effort that targets press and high tech or industry analysts throughout the world, attendance at relevant industry tradeshows throughout the year and participation in industry panel sessions.

Our sales and marketing organization has offices in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and the United States. We also have a European sales representative in Belgium.

We provide turn-key solutions and on-site system support through our field application engineer, or FAE, organization to enable existing and potential end customers to efficiently incorporate our products. Our network of FAEs and distributor-based FAEs are located near end customers in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, China; Taipei, Taiwan; and Seoul, Korea. We provide end customers with reference designs for complete systems integration including schematics, printed circuit board layout files and software to accelerate time to market and facilitate the design-in and application customization of our products in our end customers’ devices. By minimizing the monetary and resource investments end customers must make in the design process, we believe we provide a meaningfully simplified design cycle.

Research and Development

We have experienced hardware and software teams consisting of 114 engineers in Sunnyvale, California and 54 engineers in Shanghai, China, as of September 30, 2009. Approximately two-thirds of the research and development team hold advanced engineering degrees, including 28 Ph.D.s, as of September 30, 2009. Key areas of expertise include analog and RF circuit design, multimedia systems, communications systems, noise tolerant wireless SoC design, embedded firmware and software driver design, product design and applications. Our international research and development team allows us to benefit from leading RF, communications and IC expertise available around the world, emerging market agility, proximity to end customers and lower operating costs.

We expect to increase our research and development resources, with a particular emphasis on expansion in China. Expenditures on research and development were $10.2 million in fiscal 2007, $17.3 million in fiscal 2008 and $27.0 million in fiscal 2009.

Manufacturing

We develop proprietary designs and then utilize a third-party foundry and assembly and test companies to produce silicon wafers and ICs. The foundry uses standard RF mixed-signal and digital CMOS production facilities. The use of these commercially available standard processes enables us to produce cost-effective products.

We currently have in production, or are developing, products using 130 nanometer and 65 nanometer process geometries for wafer production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, or TSMC, in Taiwan. We assemble wafer-based devices and test packaged units at multiple locations, including STATS ChipPAC in Malaysia, ASE in Korea and UTAC in Thailand and Singapore. We store our inventory at, and distribute it from, our turnkey assembly and test vendors’ manufacturing sites.

We develop and control all product test and quality control programs used by our subcontractors. This includes semiconductor and system-level hardware fixtures and programs located on-site at our subcontractors, at our corporate offices, and at some of our sales and support facilities. We also develop and provide test and manufacturing quality control firmware and software for our subcontractors. We rely on extensive simulation studies, practical application testing and standardized testbeds to validate and verify our products. Our major suppliers are required to have a quality manufacturing system, certified ISO 9000 compliance levels and appropriate environmental control programs.

To maintain consistent product quality, reliability and yield, we closely monitor the production cycle by reviewing electrical, parametric and manufacturing process data from the foundry and each assembly subcontractor. We also maintain software and hardware test development facilities at both our Sunnyvale, California and Shanghai, China research and development facilities. This enables us to support certain test processes on demand in order to reduce the time-to-market of our designs and improve product reliability.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our products, technology and know-how, to prevent others from infringing these proprietary rights and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our policy is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development and conduct of our business. We also rely on trade secrets and know-how to develop and maintain our proprietary position.

As of December 31, 2009, we had ten issued patents, of which eight were issued in the United States, one in China and one in Europe, and 27 pending patent applications, 14 of which are in the United States, one of which was filed pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty and 12 of which were filed in other countries. Our patents expire at various times between May 2025 and March 2028. Our patents and pending patent applications relate to various circuit algorithms, architectures and methods that may be applied in or relate to receiving, decoding, enhancing and displaying video broadcasts. We focus our patent efforts in the United States, and, when justified by cost and/or strategic importance, we file corresponding patent applications in strategic jurisdictions in Asia and Europe. Our patent strategy is designed to provide a balance between the need for coverage in our strategic markets and the need to maintain costs at a reasonable level.

The patent positions of companies like ours are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Our ability to maintain and solidify our proprietary position for our technology will depend on our success in obtaining effective patent claims and enforcing those claims once granted. We do not know whether any of our patent applications or those patent applications that we may license will result in the issuance of any patents. Our issued patents and those that may issue in the future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, which could limit our ability to stop competitors from marketing related products or shorten the term of patent protection that we may have for our products. In addition, the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with competitive advantages against competitors with similar technology. Furthermore, our competitors may

independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology developed by us. Because of the extensive time required for development and testing of a potential product, it is possible that, before any of our products under development can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantage of the patent.

We rely, in some circumstances, on trade secrets to protect our technology. Trade secrets, however, are difficult to protect. We seek to protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and other contractors. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. To the extent that our employees, consultants or contractors use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

We also rely on third parties for technologies such as standard logic cells, memories, input/output cells, embedded processors, bus interfaces and audio/video encoders and decoders that are integrated into our products. We generally license these technologies for specific IC products under terms that last for as long as we manufacture these specific products.

Backlog

Our product sales are made primarily using short-term cancellable purchase orders. The quantities actually purchased by the end customer, as well as the shipment schedules, are frequently revised to reflect changes in the end customer’s needs and in our supply of product. Accordingly, our backlog of open purchase orders at any given time is not a meaningful indicator of future sales. Changes in the amount of our backlog do not necessarily reflect a corresponding change in the level of actual or potential sales.

Employees

As of September 30, 2009, we had 261 employees, which included 168 employees in engineering, 46 in sales and marketing, 34 in administration, eight in business development and five in operations. Geographically, 150 of our employees are located in the United States, 99 are located in China and 12 are located in other parts of the world. None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we consider current employee relations to be good.

Facilities

We have facilities in China, the United States and other countries for our operations. Our largest office in China is located in a leased facility in Shanghai, consisting of approximately 20,500 square feet of office space under a lease that expires in September 2011. This facility accommodates engineering, marketing, finance and administration. Our primary U.S. office is located in a leased facility in Sunnyvale, California, consisting of approximately 58,200 square feet of office space under a lease that expires in July 2011. This facility accommodates our principal engineering, marketing, operations, finance and administrative activities. We also lease office space in Beijing, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore and Taipei, which totals approximately 7,000 square feet. We believe that our existing facilities are sufficient for our current needs. We intend to add new facilities and expand our existing facilities as we add employees and expand our markets, and we believe that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Board Composition

Independent Directors

Our board of directors consists of ten members. Our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Drs. Yun and Sheng, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. Drs. Yun and Sheng are not considered independent because they are employees of Telegent. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. In determining Mr. Tan’s independence, our board of directors specifically considered that Mr. Tan is the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Cadence, with whom we have several software license, maintenance and service agreements. In considering Mr. Tan’s independence, our board of directors noted that our original software license and maintenance and service agreements were entered into prior to Mr. Tan becoming President and Chief Executive Officer of Cadence, that the dollar amounts of payments to Cadence for products and services used in fiscal 2009 was less than 2% of revenue and less than 5% of our total operating expenses for the fiscal year and less than 2% of our total assets as of March 31, 2009, that Mr. Tan did not derive any direct or indirect material benefit from such agreements and that our board of directors believed that such agreements are in Telegent’s best interest and on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from other third parties.

Classified Board

Effective upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors will consist of three classes, as follows:

•

Class I, which will consist of Dr. Yun and Messrs. Deng, Tan and Zocco, whose term will expire at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2010;

•

Class II, which will consist of Dr. Gray and Messrs. Hundt and Sandell, whose term will expire at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2011; and

•

Class III, which will consist of Drs. Sheng and Harari and Mr. Seawell, whose term will expire at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2012.

At each annual meeting of shareholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will serve until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed between the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of our board of directors

may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. Under Cayman Islands law, our directors may be removed for cause by a majority vote of our shareholders.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors have a duty of loyalty to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skills that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association then in effect. In limited circumstances, our shareholders have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. See the section “Description of Share Capital—Differences in Corporate Law—Directors’ Fiduciary Duties” for more information on the duties of our directors.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and an executive committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees to facilitate the management of our business. The composition and functions of each committee are described below.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Deng, Seawell and Tan, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements under the NASDAQ listing standards and each of Messrs. Deng and Seawell has been determined to be independent under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Due to his relationship with Walden International and its affiliated funds, which may be deemed to be an affiliate of Telegent due to the size of its holdings in our securities, Mr. Tan does not meet the heightened independence requirements under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. We intend to rely upon the phase-in exemption pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(2). Upon expiration of this phase-in exemption (one year from the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part), each of our audit committee members must meet the heightened independence requirements under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. If we fail to meet this requirement, we will be in violation of the NASDAQ listing standards and our shares could be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market.

The chair of our audit committee is Mr. Seawell, whom our board of directors has determined is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regulations. In determining Mr. Seawell’s independence, our board of directors considered Mr. Seawell’s position as a venture partner of New Enterprise Associates, including his lack of voting and dispositive power over any of our shares held by New Enterprise Associates. Each member of our audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with NASDAQ corporate governance requirements. In arriving at this determination, our board of directors has examined Messrs. Deng’s, Seawell’s and Tan’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance sector. The functions of the audit committee include:

•

reviewing and pre-approving the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;

•

evaluating the performance of our independent auditors and deciding whether to retain their services;

•

reviewing our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and reports and discussing the statements and reports with our independent registered public accounting firm and management;

•

reviewing and approving all related party transactions;

•

reviewing with counsel, our independent registered public accounting firm and management significant regulatory or other legal or accounting initiatives or matters that may have a material impact on our financial statements, compliance programs and policies, as well as matters concerning the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; and

•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal controls over financial reporting or auditing matters.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Dr. Gray and Messrs. Hundt and Sandell, each of whom our board of directors has determined to be independent under the NASDAQ listing standards, is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and is an “outside director” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Section 162(m). The chair of our compensation committee is Mr. Sandell. The functions of this committee include:

•

determining, reviewing, modifying and approving the compensation and other terms of employment of our executive officers and senior management and reviewing and approving corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to such compensation;

•

administering our stock option plans, stock purchase plans, compensation plans and similar programs, including the adoption, amendment and termination of such plans; and

•

reviewing and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change of control protections and any other compensatory arrangements for our executive officers.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Messrs. Hundt, Tan and Zocco, each of whom our board of directors has determined is independent under the NASDAQ listing standards. The chair of our nominating and corporate governance committee is Mr. Hundt. The functions of this committee include:

•

reviewing and assessing the performance of our board of directors, including its committees and individual directors;

•

identifying, reviewing, and evaluating candidates to serve on our board of directors, including nominations by shareholders of candidates for election to our board of directors;

•

reviewing, evaluating and considering the recommendation for nomination of incumbent directors for re-election to the board of directors, as well as monitoring the size of the board of directors; and

•

developing a set of corporate governance principles, and periodically reviewing and assessing such principles and their application.

Executive Committee

Our executive committee consists of Drs. Yun and Sheng and Messrs. Sandell and Tan. The executive committee has such powers as may be delegated to it by our board of directors from time to time and does not currently have a charter. The executive committee was formed in October 2009.

Code of Conduct

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct applies to all of our employees, including our officers, and directors, as specifically provided, in connection with their activities for us. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a

part, the full text of our Code of Conduct will be posted on our web site at www.telegent.com. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Conduct, or waivers of such provisions, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our web site identified above. The inclusion of our web site address in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our web site into this prospectus.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the compensation committee is currently, or has been at any time, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed three fiscal years, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Compensation

In May 2009, our board of directors approved cash compensation to be paid to each of Dr. Gray and Messrs. Hundt and Seawell. Prior to that date, none of our directors had received any cash compensation for their services as members of our board of directors or any committee of our board of directors. Commencing in May 2009, each of Dr. Gray and Messrs. Hundt and Seawell will receive compensation for their services as follows:

•

$3,000 for each regular or special meeting of our board of directors attended in person;

•

$1,000 for each regular or special meeting of our board of directors attended via teleconference; and

•

$5,000 for attendance in person at our annual full day strategic session of our board of directors.

We expect that following this offering we will implement a new cash compensation program for all of our independent directors, the terms of which will be determined by our board of directors.

Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for reasonable travel, lodging and other expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at board of directors or committee meetings.

In connection with the appointment to our board of directors, we have historically granted to each non-employee director (excluding those directors who have a voting interest in their venture capital funds’ shares) an option to purchase common shares. These initial option grants generally vest over a period of four years, with 1/4th of the shares subject to each option award vesting on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and 1/48th of the shares on a monthly basis thereafter, subject in each case to the recipient’s continued service as a director. In addition, after serving on our board we have periodically granted such non-employee directors additional option awards. We do not currently have a formal policy regarding the size of initial awards or the timing or size of any additional awards.

In fiscal 2009, we granted options to purchase 100,000 common shares to each of Dr. Gray and Mr. Hundt, the size of which was based on our board’s business experience and judgment as to appropriately address the retention and compensation of these directors. Each of these stock option awards vests over a four year period, with 1/4th of the shares subject to each option award vesting on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and 1/48th of the shares on a monthly basis thereafter, subject in each case to the recipient’s continued service as a director. In the event of a change of control of our company, 50% of the unvested portion of these options will immediately vest and become exercisable.

In October 2009, we granted each of our non-employee directors an option to purchase common shares at an exercise price of $7.95 per share, with each option to commence vesting on January 1, 2010, other than the initial option grant to Dr. Harari, which began vesting on October 14, 2009 and the option grant to Mr. Seawell, which will begin vesting on January 1, 2011. The following table sets forth the number of shares granted to each director and the vesting schedule for each such option:


Name	Number of Shares	Vesting %
Name	Number of Shares	2010	2011	2012	2013
Feng Deng	140,000	25.0	25.0	25.0	25.0
Paul R. Gray	83,750	10.0	10.0	40.0	40.0
Eli Harari	140,000	29.2	25.0	25.0	20.8
Reed E. Hundt	71,250	12.5	12.5	27.5	47.5
Scott Sandell	140,000	25.0	25.0	25.0	25.0
A. Brooke Seawell	71,050	0.0	5.0	47.5	47.5
Lip-Bu Tan	140,000	25.0	25.0	25.0	25.0
Giuseppe Zocco	140,000	25.0	25.0	25.0	25.0

As a result of previous grants made to certain of our non-employee directors and taking into account the grants made above, each of our non-employee directors will have approximately an equal number of shares vesting between 2010 and 2013. The size of the option grants were based on our board’s business experience and judgment as to how to appropriately address the retention and compensation of these directors during our first full year period as a public company. In the event of a change of control of our company, the unvested portion of these options will immediately vest and become exercisable in full.

Our compensation committee will continue to review all aspects of director compensation following our initial public offering.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information regarding the compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer, our Executive Chairman, our Chief Financial Officer and our other three most highly compensated executive officers during fiscal 2009. We refer to these executive officers as our named executive officers. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis also discusses compensation actions taken during fiscal 2010 to the extent these actions provide a more complete picture of our overall executive compensation philosophy and are material to an understanding of our fiscal 2009 actions.

Our Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation program is shaped by the competitive market for executives in the semiconductor industry. We have designed an executive compensation program with the following primary objectives:

•

to attract and retain the best possible executive talent;

•

to tie annual cash incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives;

•

to align our executives’ incentives with shareholder value creation; and

•

to be fairly and equitably administered.

During fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 to date, our executive compensation program has focused primarily on attracting executive talent to manage and operate our business, to retain individuals whose employment is crucial to our success and growth and to reward individuals who help us achieve our business objectives.

Following this initial public offering, the compensation committee expects to:

•

refine and modify our compensation programs to further reflect the competitive market for executive talent and our changing business needs as a public company;

•

utilize individual and corporate performance goals to tie the compensation of our executive officers to our financial performance and creation of shareholder value;

•

utilize an annual or semi-annual equity-based award program to continue the long-term connection with shareholder value and executive compensation; and

•

ensure our executive compensation programs embody simplicity, clarity and flexibility of administration.

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our board of directors has delegated responsibility for developing our compensation philosophy and for designing and administering our executive compensation programs to the compensation committee. The compensation committee currently recommends to the full board of directors individual compensation, equity awards and employment terms for each of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman. Upon the completion of this initial public offering, the compensation committee will also review and approve equity awards to other employees.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman

On an annual basis, Dr. Yun, our Executive Chairman, and Dr. Sheng, our Chief Executive Officer, evaluate the performance of each other executive officer and recommend preliminary bonus and equity awards for each such officer. The compensation committee considers these evaluations and recommendations in determining the final bonus and equity awards for these officers. Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng do not participate in the determination of their own or each other’s compensation. Following this initial public offering, the compensation committee intends to continue to seek the input of Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng in evaluating the performance of our executive officers.

Compensation Components

Overview

Our executive compensation program consists of three principal components:

•

base salary;

•

an annual cash incentive program; and

•

equity incentive compensation.

We also provide our executive officers with other benefits, including severance, change-of-control benefits and the ability to participate in employee benefit plans on the same terms as all other eligible employees.

The cash component of our executive compensation program is designed to serve two primary purposes. Base salaries are intended to provide financial stability, predictability and security of compensation for our executive officers for fulfilling their core job responsibilities. Our cash incentive program is intended to incentivize our executive officers in the achievement of pre-determined corporate and individual objectives.

Equity-based compensation is intended to incentivize and retain executive officers through the use of time-based vesting while tying our long-term financial performance and shareholder value creation to the executive officer’s financial gain.

To date, all equity awards to executive officers, other than initial sales of founder shares to Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng, have been in the form of stock options granted at fair market value with time-based vesting. All of our executive officers receive equity awards when they are hired. The level of equity incentives are reviewed periodically and additional option grants are made from time to time. In the future, we expect the compensation committee to review base salary, annual cash incentives and equity levels on an annual basis.

For fiscal 2009, our board of directors conducted a review of our executive compensation, as well as the mix of components used to compensate our executive officers. Our board of directors relied on its collective judgment, feedback from Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng, business experience and its assessment of each executive officer’s overall contribution to the business in determining the size and mix of compensation for each executive rather than adopting a formulaic or benchmark-based approach to compensation.

Base Salary

The board of directors considered several factors in determining base salaries, including each executive officer’s position, functional role, responsibilities and seniority, the relative ease or difficulty of replacing such executive officer with a well-qualified person and overall job performance. In addition, with

regard to Drs. Sheng and Yun, the board of directors also considered their equity holdings as founders of Telegent and their expressed preferences with respect to cash and equity compensation. Drs. Sheng and Yun had requested that their base salaries remain at the same levels as they had been since our inception and that any additional compensation to be issued to them be issued in the form of additional equity and/or a discretionary cash bonus at the end of the year if the board of directors determined that any such bonus had been earned. Our board of directors, in accordance with these requests, has not increased base salaries for Drs. Sheng or Yun. With regard to Dr. Wang, the board of directors also considered customary practice and market conditions with regard to expatriates working in China, as well as the strategic importance of the growth in our China operations. In the future, the compensation committee intends to review the base salaries of our executive officers on an annual basis and adjustments will be made to reflect performance-based factors as well as competitive conditions.

Fiscal 2009

No adjustments were made to the base salaries of our executive officers for fiscal 2009, as Drs. Yun and Sheng determined, and our board of directors concurred, that the base salaries in effect were sufficient to achieve our compensation objectives.

Mr. Ribar joined us as our Chief Financial Officer in May 2008 and Dr. Stark joined us as our Vice President, Engineering in December 2008. In establishing each executive’s annual base salary of $200,000, Drs. Yun and Sheng considered the functional role and responsibility of the executive’s position, the importance of such position within the organization, the relative ease or difficulty of identifying and hiring a well-qualified candidate to assume the individual’s role.

Fiscal 2010

No adjustments have been made to the base salaries of our executive officers for fiscal 2010 to date. Drs. Yun and Sheng determined, and our board of directors concurred, that the base salaries in effect were sufficient to achieve our compensation objectives for fiscal 2010 to date. The compensation committee expects to evaluate base salaries as it deems appropriate for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Cash Incentive Plan

We believe it is important to provide our executive officers with annual cash incentive payments to reward performance and the achievement of various pre-determined objectives. For fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010, we established annual cash incentive plans for certain of our executive officers and other key employees and we anticipate that we will establish similar cash incentive plans in the future. Certain executive officers, including, but not limited to, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, have not historically participated in such plans.

Fiscal 2009

Geoffrey Ribar, Donald Stark and Stephen Zadig

We established a cash incentive program for certain executive officers for fiscal 2009 that required the achievement by these officers of individual objectives which were established by Dr. Sheng and Dr. Yun. No minimum percentage of achievement was specified in order for an executive officer to receive a cash incentive payment, however a cash incentive payment could be withheld at the discretion of our board of directors if they determined that the executive officer had not achieved at least a significant portion of the established objectives. The corporate/individual objectives under the fiscal 2009 plan were:

•

Matters related to organizational and infrastructure requirements for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and preparation for our initial public offering (for Mr. Ribar);

•

Integration into the company and assessment of the Engineering department (for Dr. Stark); and

•

Product manufacturing and certain unit shipment targets (for Mr. Zadig).

Target cash incentive payments were established to be between 25% and 45% of each respective executive officer’s base salary. The specific cash incentive payment was based on our board of directors’ assessment of the complexity, time commitment, difficulty in achieving the objectives and extent of achievement of each objective for each executive officer, with input from Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng. Information regarding the cash incentive payments to our named executive officers for fiscal 2009 is set forth below:


Named Executive Officer	Target Cash Incentive Payment($)		Percentage of Base Salary(%)(1)		Actual Achievement (%)(1)
Geoffrey Ribar	$	90,000	45	%	89	%
Donald Stark		50,000	25		40	(2)
Stephen Zadig		50,000	25		100

(1)	Actual cash paid to such named executive officers is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

(2)	The target cash incentive payment for each executive officer was established assuming a full year of service for comparability purposes. Dr. Stark joined us in December 2008 and, as such, the compensation committee determined to prorate any cash incentive payment that could be earned by Dr. Stark.

Weijie Yun and Samuel Sheng

Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng did not participate in the cash incentive program described above. In fiscal 2009, the compensation committee recommended, and our board of directors approved, discretionary cash bonuses of $200,000 to each of Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng. These cash bonuses were awarded in order to recognize the extraordinary efforts of Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng that resulted in revenue and profitability metrics that exceeded expectations for fiscal 2009.

Ken Wang

Dr. Wang did not participate in the cash incentive program described above. As Dr. Wang is our Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Dr. Sheng and Dr. Yun believed that it was appropriate for Dr. Wang to be provided with a cash incentive plan that provided objectives related to our revenue. In fiscal 2009, Dr. Sheng and Dr. Yun established specific individual goals for Dr. Wang, including sales targets and other objectives related to developing the infrastructure of our China operations. For the second half of calendar 2008, two-thirds of Dr. Wang’s target payment was based on the achievement of financial objectives and one-third of his target payment was based on the achievement of personal objectives. Dr. Wang’s sales target for the second half of calendar 2008 in order to achieve 100% of this cash incentive objective was between $75 million and $85 million. Actual revenue achieved during the period was $70 million. Dr. Wang’s objectives related to the development of our China operations during this period included the establishment of a China-based finance department, including key hires, and other sales and marketing related goals. Dr. Wang achieved 80% of his sales-related objective and 100% of two of his three operational objectives for the second half of calendar 2008 and received a cash incentive payment of $59,897, or 53% of his salary for the period. Although Dr. Wang did not reach 100% of all of his objectives in the period, the board of directors re-assessed Dr. Wang’s role, as well as comparable compensation for similar roles in analogous companies, and on that basis determined to exercise their discretion under his cash incentive plan to alter his compensation retroactively to provide for a higher cash incentive payment than such percentage achievement might

have been warranted under the plan as originally specified. Dr. Wang’s sales target for the first half of calendar 2009 in order to achieve 100% of his cash incentive objective was between $60 million and $65 million. Actual revenue achieved during the period was $69 million. Dr. Wang’s objectives related to the development of our China operations during this period included the integration of the China and U.S.-based engineering teams, establishing market share with netbook manufacturers and other sales and marketing related goals. Dr. Wang achieved 100% of each of his sales and operational objectives in the first half of calendar 2009 and he significantly exceeded the expected time frames for the completion of each operational objective. His cash incentive payment for the first half of calendar 2009 was $60,000, or 53% of his salary for the period. In addition, Dr. Wang was awarded a discretionary cash award of $101,349 by our board of directors in recognition of the significant acceleration of the establishment of our China operations.

Fiscal 2010

Geoffrey Ribar, Donald Stark, Ken Wang and Stephen Zadig

In March 2009, the compensation committee approved an annual cash incentive plan, the Fiscal 2010 Plan, for certain of our executive officers.

The compensation committee established both financial and corporate/individual objectives under the Fiscal 2010 Plan. The financial and corporate/individual objectives are equally weighted at 50% for Mr. Ribar, Dr. Stark and Mr. Zadig and weighted at 80% for individual objectives and 20% for corporate objectives for Dr. Wang. As Dr. Wang serves as our Vice President of Worldwide Sales, the compensation committee weighted Dr. Wang’s objectives more heavily toward his individual achievement than on that of the company overall. The financial objectives are the same for all participants and are based on specified revenue and operating profit targets approved by our board of directors. The compensation committee views the Fiscal 2010 Plan as a reward for exceptional performance. Accordingly, the compensation committee has set the target level for the financial objective at a level that can only be achieved if we continue to substantially improve on our past levels of performance, and if our executives perform at very high levels. As a result, the compensation committee believes the revenue target and operating profit target will be difficult to reach but will be attainable with significant effort. Since our actual financial performance in any given fiscal year is dependent on a variety of conditions and factors, including our size and operating history relative to our competitors, the highly competitive environment for customers, and the overall financial climate in the United States, the compensation committee believes that meeting our revenue target and operating profit target for the Fiscal 2010 Plan would present a significant challenge for our executives, but would not entail taking inappropriate risks. The compensation committee further believes that the financial objectives under the Fiscal 2010 Plan will be difficult to achieve as it represents a significant increase over our actual fiscal year 2009 performance and requires a high level of execution and performance by our executive officers in order to receive the full target incentive compensation award. A minimum attainment of both the revenue target and operating profit target is required in order for the participants in the Fiscal 2010 Plan to receive any portion of their target payment that is based on the achievement of the financial objectives. In the event that the levels of revenue performance target and operating profit target achieved merit different bonus achievement percentages, the lower percentage will be applied. In addition, if an executive officer does not achieve at least 50% of both of his individual objectives, he will not earn an individual objective cash incentive payment for the period and will not be eligible for any cash incentive payment for that period and if an executive officer achieves more than 50% but less than 100% of his individual objectives, our chief executive officer has discretion to assess goal attainment and make a recommendation to the compensation committee to award a cash incentive payment to reflect that individual’s performance. Each participant is eligible to receive at least 20% of the portion of their target payment that is based on financial objectives if our actual results are at least 70% of both the revenue target and operating profit target. Each participant is eligible to receive a maximum of 150% of the portion of their target payment that is based on financial objectives

if our actual results exceed 150% of both the revenue target and operating profit target. For financial results between 70% and 150% achievement of these targets, the percentage of target payment increases proportionally between 20% and 150%. In addition, the Fiscal 2010 Plan also provides for a discretionary multiplier that can impact the total incentive payment received by an executive by either increasing or decreasing such executive’s target bonus calculation by up to 25%. The multiplier gives our Chief Executive Officer or the compensation committee discretion to increase or decrease an executive’s total bonus where appropriate to more correctly reflect or reward such executive’s performance in cases where the Fiscal 2010 Plan’s enumerated factors fail to do so, as approved by the compensation committee.

The corporate/individual objectives under the Fiscal 2010 plan include:

•

Implementation of financial, information technology and human resources systems and completion of our initial public offering (for Mr. Ribar);

•

Product development processes and product delivery metrics (for Dr. Stark);

•

Sales targets and other objectives related to our China operations (for Dr. Wang); and

•

Cost reductions and maintenance of tier-1 customer standards for defects (for Mr. Zadig).

The compensation committee established target cash incentive payments between 30% and 53% of each respective executive officer’s base salary. The specific target cash payment is based on an individual’s anticipated contribution to our performance, the anticipated time commitment of the objectives for the executive officer and the difficulty in achievement of the objectives. Information regarding the Fiscal 2010 Plan for our named executive officers is set forth below:


Named Executive Officer	Target Cash Incentive Payment($)		Percentage of Base Salary(%)
Geoffrey Ribar	$	90,000	45	%
Donald Stark		60,000	30
Ken Wang		120,000	53
Stephen Zadig		60,000	30

Weijie Yun and Samuel Sheng

Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng are not eligible to participate in the Fiscal 2010 Plan. The compensation committee intends to evaluate Dr. Yun’s and Dr. Sheng’s performance and achievements for fiscal 2010 and retains the ability to grant discretionary cash awards to Dr. Yun and Dr. Sheng.

Equity-Based Compensation

Historically, equity-based compensation has been our primary long-term incentive compensation component. We believe that equity based compensation has and will continue to be a significant part of our executive officers’ total compensation packages. We believe both time-based vesting and shared financial success are long-term incentives that motivate executive officers to grow revenue and earnings, enhance shareholder value and align the interests of our shareholders and executives over the long-term. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages continuing performance by our executive officers through grants of equity awards. The vesting feature of our equity grants contributes to executive officer retention as this feature provides an incentive to our executive officers to remain in our employ during the vesting period. To date, stock options have been the only type of equity award granted to our executive officers.

Generally, upon commencement of employment, executives are awarded initial stock option grants carrying a service-based vesting condition, with 1/4th of the shares generally vesting one year

from the vesting commencement date and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months. Historically, our practice has been to review equity awards to existing employees, including our executive officers, after two years of service and then annually thereafter and to make additional awards if appropriate. Generally, 50% of these grants vest 24 months from the vesting commencement date and then in equal monthly installments over the following 24 months.

All equity awards to our executive officers are pursuant to our 2004 Share Plan. Following the closing of this initial public offering, we will grant our executive officers and other employees equity awards pursuant to our newly-adopted 2010 Equity Incentive Plan described in further detail under the section “Management—Equity Benefit Plans—2010 Equity Incentive Plan.”

Fiscal 2009

In fiscal 2009, certain named executive officers were awarded stock options under our 2004 Share Plan based on our compensation committee’s periodic review or pursuant to the commencement of employment. The following table presents the stock options granted in fiscal 2009 to our named executive officers:


Named Executive Officer	Date of Award	Number of Shares	Basis for award
Geoffrey Ribar	May 2008	725,000	New hire award
Donald Stark	January 2009	500,000	New hire award
Ken Wang	July and November 2008	130,000(1)	Periodic review
Stephen Zadig	November 2008	75,000	Periodic review

(1)	Represents two stock option awards, exercisable for 100,000 shares and 30,000 shares.

In determining the size of the new hire equity awards to Mr. Ribar and Dr. Stark, our board of directors considered the functional role and responsibility of the executive’s position, the importance of such position within the organization, the relative ease or difficulty of identifying and hiring a well-qualified candidate to assume the individual’s role and the committee’s historical grant practices. With respect to Mr. Ribar, our board of directors also considered the relative amount of equity compensation for chief financial officers as compared to other executives in privately-held companies, as well as the contributions expected to be made by Mr. Ribar in connection with our planned growth. In determining the size of the equity awards for Dr. Wang’s and Mr. Zadig’s, our board of directors considered the amount of equity previously awarded to the executive officer and the vesting status of such awards, the executive officer’s position, seniority, job performance and overall level of responsibility. For further information as to the equity awards, see the section “Management—Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.”

Fiscal 2010

In fiscal 2010, certain of our named executive officers were awarded stock options under our 2004 Share Plan based on our compensation committee’s periodic review. The following table presents the stock options granted in fiscal 2010 to our named executive officers:


Named Executive Officer	Date of Award	Number of Shares	Basis for award
Samuel Sheng	May 2009	150,000	Periodic review
	October 2009	600,000	Periodic review
Weijie Yun	May 2009	150,000	Periodic review
	October 2009	600,000	Periodic review
Geoffrey Ribar	October 2009	120,000	Periodic review
Donald Stark	October 2009	120,000	Periodic review
Ken Wang	July 2009	800,000	Periodic review

The compensation committee granted the May 2009 awards in recognition of the executive officers’ efforts during the previous year after considering the extraordinary growth and development of our business. The compensation committee granted the July 2009 award to Dr. Wang in recognition of the continuing success of our sales operations in fiscal 2010 to date, as well as for purposes of incenting Dr. Wang to continue his employment with us. The compensation committee granted the October 2009 awards to Dr. Sheng and Dr. Yun in recognition of their efforts during fiscal 2010 to date, including the continued rapid growth of our business, as well as the overall option position of each. The compensation committee granted the October 2009 awards to Mr. Ribar and Dr. Stark in recognition of the achievements of their respective departments in fiscal 2010 to date and in anticipation of the significant work that was expected of each in connection with our planned initial public offering and in achieving other planned development milestones in the remainder of fiscal 2010. Each of the above awards are subject to acceleration upon a change of control of our company or constructive termination of such employee, the terms of which are described below under the section “Management—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Other Compensatory Benefits

We believe it is appropriate and necessary for recruitment and retention to provide our executive officers with other forms of compensatory benefits, including the following:

Severance and Change of Control Benefits. Certain of our named executive officers are entitled to severance and change of control benefits pursuant to their employment agreements and offer letters. We believe these severance and change of control benefits are an essential element of our executive compensation package that enables us to recruit and retain talented executives, the terms of which are described below under the section “Management—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Benefits and Other Compensation. We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all eligible employees, including our 401(k), flexible spending accounts, medical, dental and vision care plans, our life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance policies and long-term and short- term disability plans. Executive officers are eligible to participate in each of these programs on the same terms as non-executive employees. We do not provide any retirement benefits separate from the 401(k).

Perquisites. Generally, we do not provide any perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, other than Dr. Wang. In fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010, Dr. Wang was provided housing expenses, a car allowance and reimbursement for the educational expenses of his minor children. The value of these perquisites for fiscal 2009 are included in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. We provided Dr. Wang with these benefits in light of our view of the competitive market in China for executive officers such as Dr. Wang.

Compensation Consultant

During fiscal 2009, our board of directors did not retain the services of a compensation consultant. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, our compensation committee retained the services of Compensia, Inc., an executive compensation consultant, to assist the compensation committee in refining our executive compensation program to ensure that it is competitive and comparable in both size and mix of compensation going forward. Compensia does not provide any other services to Telegent.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will become applicable to us upon the closing of this offering, generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to our Chief Executive Officer and three other highest paid officers (excluding the Chief Financial Officer) in office at fiscal year end. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limitation if specified requirements are met. We periodically review the potential consequences of Section 162(m) and we generally intend to structure the performance-based portion of our executive compensation, where feasible, to comply with exemptions in Section 162(m) so that the compensation remains tax deductible to us. However, our compensation committee may, in its judgment, authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exemptions in Section 162(m) when it believes that such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

We adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance for share-based compensation on April 1, 2006. This accounting guidance establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the awards, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period. The compensation committee has determined to retain for the foreseeable future our stock option program as the sole component of its long-term compensation program and to record this expense on an ongoing basis.

Equity Benefit Plans

2004 Share Plan

Our board of directors adopted and our shareholders approved the 2004 Share Plan in August 2004. The 2004 Share Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and restricted share purchase awards. As of September 30, 2009, 6,369,270 common shares had been issued upon the exercise of options and pursuant to restricted share purchase awards granted under the 2004 Share Plan, options to purchase 14,597,327 common shares were outstanding at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.44 per share and 633,403 shares remained available for future grant. In October 2009, our board of directors approved amendments to the 2004 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by an aggregate of 5,700,000 shares and approved the issuance of options to purchase an aggregate of 4,468,550 shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $7.95. Upon the effective date of this offering, no further option or restricted stock purchase award grants will be made under the 2004 Share Plan.

Administration. Our board of directors has delegated authority to administer the 2004 Share Plan non-exclusively to our compensation committee. Our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors has the authority to construe, interpret, amend and modify the 2004 Share Plan as well as to determine the terms of an option and a restricted stock purchase award. Our board of directors may amend or modify the 2004 Share Plan at any time. However, no amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to outstanding stock awards unless the holder consents to that amendment or modification.

106

Eligibility. The 2004 Share Plan permits us to grant stock options and restricted stock purchase awards to our employees, directors and consultants. A stock option may be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or a nonstatutory stock option.

Stock Option Provisions. In general, the duration of a stock option granted under the 2004 Share Plan cannot exceed ten years. The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of a nonstatutory stock option cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant. An incentive stock option may be transferred only on death, but a nonstatutory stock option may be transferred as permitted in an individual stock option agreement.

Stock option agreements may provide that the stock options may be early exercised subject to our right of repurchase of unvested shares. In addition, our board of directors may reprice any outstanding option or, with the permission of the optionholder, may cancel any outstanding option and grant a substitute option.

Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of shares of our common shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionholder during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. An incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time of grant owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock or any of our affiliates must have a term of no more than five years and an exercise price that is at least 110% of fair market value at the time of grant.

Restricted Share Purchase Awards. Restricted share purchase awards may be granted in consideration for cash, check or past or future services actually rendered to us or our affiliates. Common shares acquired under such awards may, but need not, be subject to forfeiture in accordance with a vesting schedule. The purchase price for restricted share purchase awards may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of awards granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding shares or any of our affiliates).

Effect on Share-Based Awards of Certain Corporate Transactions. If we dissolve or liquidate, then outstanding stock options and restricted share purchase awards under the 2004 Share Plan will terminate immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. In the event of an asset sale or merger, the surviving or acquiring corporation may assume outstanding share-based awards, or may substitute substantially equivalent awards that preserve the spread existing at the time of the transaction for outstanding stock options. If the surviving or acquiring corporation elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding share-based awards, then the share-based awards will terminate upon the consummation of the transaction. The plan administrator may provide for additional vesting of outstanding awards, either at the time of grant or at any time while the award remains outstanding.

Other Provisions. If there is a transaction or event which changes our share capital that does not involve our receipt of consideration, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock dividend or stock split, our board of directors will appropriately adjust the class and the maximum number of shares subject to the 2004 Share Plan and to outstanding share-based awards to prevent the dilution or endangerment of benefits thereunder.

107

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in October 2009 and our shareholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in December 2009. The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting agreement for this offering. The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate on October 30, 2019, unless sooner terminated by our board of directors.

Share Awards. The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted share awards, restricted share unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance-based share awards, and other forms of equity compensation, or collectively, share-based awards, all of which may be granted to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants.

Share Reserve. Following this offering, the unissued shares reserved for issuance under our 2004 Share Plan on the effective date of this offering, plus any shares subject to outstanding share-based awards granted under the 2004 Share Plan that expire or terminate for any reason prior to their exercise or settlement will become issuable pursuant to share-based awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the initial reserve. The number of common shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on April 1 each year, from April 1, 2010 through April 1, 2019 by the least of (a) 5% of the total number of shares of our common shares outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, (b) 5,000,000 shares, or (c) a number determined by our board of directors that is less than (a) or (b). The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan is equal to the initial reserve, as increased from time to time pursuant to the annual increases.

No person may be granted share-based awards covering more than 3,000,000 common shares under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan during any calendar year pursuant to stock options or stock appreciation rights. Such limitation is designed to help assure that any deductions to which we would otherwise be entitled upon the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation right or upon the subsequent sale of shares purchased under such share-based awards, will not be subject to the $1,000,000 limitation on the income tax deductibility of compensation paid to certain covered executive officers imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

If a share-based award granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan expires or otherwise terminates without being exercised in full, or is settled in cash, the common shares not acquired pursuant to the share-based award again become available for subsequent issuance under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the following types of shares under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan may become available for the grant of new share-based awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (a) shares that are forfeited to or repurchased by us prior to becoming fully vested, (b) shares withheld to satisfy income or employment withholding taxes, (c) shares used to pay the exercise price of an option in a net exercise arrangement and (d) shares tendered to us to pay the exercise price of an option. Shares issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan may be previously unissued shares or reacquired shares bought on the open market. As of the date hereof, none of our common shares have been issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.

Administration. Our board of directors has delegated its authority to administer the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan to our compensation committee. Subject to the terms of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our board of directors or an authorized committee, referred to as the plan administrator, determines recipients, dates of grant, the numbers and types of share-based awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of the share-based awards, including the period of their exercisability and vesting. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the plan administrator will also determine the exercise price of

108

options granted, the consideration to be paid for restricted share awards and the strike price of stock appreciation rights.

The plan administrator has the authority to reprice any outstanding stock award under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The plan administrator may also cancel and re-grant any outstanding stock award with the consent of any affected participant.

Stock Options. Incentive and nonstatutory stock options are granted pursuant to incentive and nonstatutory stock option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, provided that the exercise price of a stock option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan vest at the rate specified by the plan administrator.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock options granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, up to a maximum of 10 years, except in the case of certain incentive stock options, as described below. Unless the terms of an optionee’s stock option agreement provide otherwise, if an optionee’s relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases for any reason other than disability or death, the optionee may exercise any vested options for a period of 90 days following the cessation of service. If an optionee’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, or an optionee dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the optionee or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested options for a period of six months in the event of disability and 12 months in the event of death. The option term may be extended in the event that exercise of the option following termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws. In no event, however, may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common shares issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include (a) cash, check, bank draft or money order, (b) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (c) the tender of common shares previously owned by the optionee, (d) a net exercise of the option (if the option is a nonstatutory stock option) and (e) other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the plan administrator.

Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, options generally are not transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. An optionee may designate a beneficiary, however, who may exercise the option following the optionee’s death.

Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of our common shares with respect to incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. No incentive stock option may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (a) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date of grant, and (b) the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Share Awards. Restricted share awards are granted pursuant to restricted share award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Restricted share awards may be granted in consideration for (a) cash, check, bank draft or money order, (b) past or future services rendered to us or our affiliates, or (c) any other form of legal consideration. Common shares acquired under a restricted share award may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in our favor in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the plan administrator. Rights to acquire

109

shares under a restricted share award may be transferred only upon such terms and conditions as set by the plan administrator.

Restricted Share Unit Awards. Restricted share unit awards are granted pursuant to restricted share unit award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Restricted share unit awards may be granted in consideration for any form of legal consideration. A restricted stock unit award may be settled by cash, delivery of shares, a combination of cash and stock as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the restricted share unit award agreement. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted stock unit award. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, restricted share units that have not vested will be forfeited upon the participant’s cessation of continuous service for any reason.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights are granted pursuant to stock appreciation rights agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the strike price for a stock appreciation right which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, we will pay the participant an amount equal to the product of (a) the excess of the per share fair market value of our common shares on the date of exercise over the strike price, multiplied by (b) the number of common shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, up to a maximum of 10 years. If a participant’s service relationship ceases with us, or any of our affiliates, then the participant, or the participant’s beneficiary, may exercise any vested stock appreciation right for 90 days (or such longer or shorter period specified in the stock appreciation right agreement) after the date such service relationship ends. In no event, however, may a stock appreciation right be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Performance Awards. The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of performance-based share and cash awards that may qualify as performance-based compensation that is not subject to the $1,000,000 limitation on the income tax deductibility of compensation paid per covered executive officer imposed by Section 162(m). To assure that the compensation attributable to performance-based share awards will so qualify, our compensation committee can structure such awards so that the common share will be issued or paid pursuant to such award only upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals during a designated performance period. No person may be granted during any calendar year performance-based stock awards covering more than 3,000,000 common shares or performance-based cash awards with a potential value in excess of $2,000,000 during any calendar year.

Other Share-Based Awards. The plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our common shares. The plan administrator will set the number of shares under the award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

Grants to Non-Employee Directors. Under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our compensation committee may grant nonstatutory stock options to non-employee members of our board of directors over their period of service on our board of directors.

reserve may increase automatically each year, (c) the maximum number of options, stock appreciation rights and performance-based share and cash awards that can be granted to any person in a calendar year and (d) the number of shares and exercise price or strike price, if applicable, of all outstanding share-based awards.

Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain significant corporate transactions, awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan may be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring entity or its parent company. If the surviving or acquiring entity or its parent company elects not to assume, continue or substitute for such share-based awards, then any such share-based awards will be terminated if not exercised prior to the effective date of the corporate transaction. Our board of directors has the discretion to:

•

arrange for the assumption, continuation, or substitution of a stock award by a surviving or acquiring entity or parent company;

•

accelerate the vesting of a share-based award and provide for its termination prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction; or

•

provide for the surrender of a share-based award in exchange for a payment equal to the excess of (a) the value of the property that the optionee would have received upon exercise of the stock award over (b) the exercise price otherwise payable in connection with the stock award.

Our board of directors is not obligated to treat all stock awards, even those that are of the same type, in the same manner.

Changes of Control. Our board of directors has the discretion to provide that a share-based award under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will immediately vest as to all or any portion of the shares subject to the share-based award (a) immediately upon the occurrence of certain specified change in control transactions, whether or not such share-based award is assumed, continued or substituted by a surviving or acquiring entity in the transaction or (b) in the event a participant’s service with us or a successor entity is terminated actually or constructively within a designated period following the occurrence of certain specified change in control transactions. Share-based awards held by participants under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will not vest automatically on such an accelerated basis unless specifically provided by the participant’s applicable award agreement.

2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our board of directors adopted our 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in October 2009 and our shareholders approved the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in December 2009. The 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting agreement for this offering.

Share Reserve. Following this offering, the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the issuance of 500,000 common shares pursuant to purchase rights granted to our employees or to employees of any of our designated affiliates. The number of our common shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on April 1st each year, from April 1, 2010 through April 1, 2019 by the least of (a) 1% of the total number of our common shares outstanding on last day of the preceding fiscal year, (b) 500,000 common shares, or (c) a number determined by our board of directors that is less than (a) or (b). The 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. As of the date hereof, no rights have been granted and none of our common shares have been purchased under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

111

Administration. Our board of directors has delegated its authority to administer the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to our compensation committee. The 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is implemented through a series of offerings of purchase rights to eligible employees. Under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, we may specify offerings with a duration of not more than 27 months, and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. Each offering will have one or more purchase dates on which our common shares will be purchased for employees participating in the offering. An offering may be terminated under certain circumstances.

Payroll Deductions. Generally, all regular employees, including executive officers, employed by us or by any of our designated affiliates, may participate in the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and may contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their earnings for the purchase of our common shares under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, common shares will be purchased for accounts of employees participating in the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a price per share equal to the lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value of a common share on the first date of an offering or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a common share on the date of purchase.

Limitations. Employees may have to satisfy one or more of the following service requirements before participating in the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as determined by our board of directors (a) customarily employed for more than 20 hours per week, (b) customarily employed for more than five months per calendar year or (c) continuous employment with us or one of our subsidiaries for such period of time as our board of directors may require, but in no event shall the required period be greater than two years. No employee may purchase shares under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a rate in excess of $25,000 worth of our common shares based on the fair market value per share of our common shares at the beginning of an offering for each year such a purchase right is outstanding. Finally, no employee will be eligible for the grant of any purchase rights under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan if immediately after such rights are granted, such employee has voting power over 5% or more of our outstanding capital stock measured by vote or value.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event that there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a stock split, appropriate adjustments will be made to (a) the number of shares reserved under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (b) the maximum number of shares by which the share reserve may increase automatically each year and (c) the number of shares and purchase price of all outstanding purchase rights and (d) the number of shares imposed by purchase limits under each ongoing offering.

Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain significant corporate transactions, any then-outstanding rights to purchase our stock under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent company). If the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent company) elects not to assume, continue or substitute for such purchase rights, then the participants’ accumulated contributions will be used to purchase our common shares within ten business days prior to such corporate transaction, and such purchase rights will terminate immediately thereafter.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a defined contribution employee retirement plan, or 401(k) plan, for our employees. Our executive officers are also eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same basis as our other employees. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Code. The plan provides that each participant may contribute up to the statutory limit, which is $16,500 for calendar year 2009. Participants that are 50 years or older can also make “catch-up” contributions,

112

which in calendar year 2009 may be up to an additional $5,500 above the statutory limit. The plan permits us to make discretionary contributions and matching contributions, subject to established limits and a vesting schedule. In fiscal 2009, we did not make any discretionary or matching contributions on behalf of our named executive officers.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering, limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands law and also provides that our directors, agents and officers shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law out of our assets against any liability incurred by him as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out his functions other than such liability (if any) that he may incur by his own willful neglect or default. No such director, agent or officer shall be liable to us for any loss or damage in carrying out his functions unless that liability arises through the willful neglect or default of such director, agent or officer. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in connection with their services to us, regardless of whether our amended and restated bylaws permit such indemnification. We have obtained such a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

Effective upon the closing of this offering, we will have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers. in addition to the indemnification provided for in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or an executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
