Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 30, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual periods.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The Company operates on a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the second quarter to realign the Company’s fiscal quarters more closely to calendar quarters. Fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 are comprised of 52-week and 53-week periods, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation

On August 1, 2013, the Company acquired the Microcontroller and Analog business (AM Business) of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited (FSL). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company, the AM business commencing as of the acquisition date and all of the Company’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The fiscal 2012 financial statements also include a variable interest entity (VIE) for which the Company was the primary beneficiary through March 31, 2012. The VIE’s financial statements were not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. On April 1, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all assets and assumed certain liabilities of the VIE under an asset purchase agreement and the entity ceased to be a VIE as of the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of commitments and contingencies and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used to account for the fair value of certain marketable securities, revenue adjustments, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs, valuation of intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, legal contingencies, income taxes, stock-based compensation expenses, the fair value of long-term debt, and product warranties. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update permitting the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to US Treasury interest rates and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships, entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to affect its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Spansion Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued) (Unaudited)

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update that resolves the diversity in practice regarding the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset. This guidance is effective for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to affect its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2013, FASB issued an accounting standard update to provide enhanced disclosures related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). An entity will be required to disclose the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in net income if an amount in AOCI is reclassified in its entirety. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring enhanced disclosure related to certain financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset in the balance sheet or subject to enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB clarified the scope of this guidance as being applicable to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirement becomes effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal year ending December 28, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Acquisition

On August 1, 2013, the Company acquired the AM Business of FSL for a purchase consideration of $158.5 million, ($149.9 million, net of cash acquired). Of this amount, the Company had a liability of $1.8 million as of September 29, 2013, to be paid towards the purchase consideration. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) with FSL, the Company acquired certain subsidiaries and assets and assumed certain liabilities of FSL for purposes of acquiring FSL’s business of designing, developing, marketing and selling, microcontroller and analog semiconductor products. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company’s embedded market leadership and support its customer base with a broader product line including Flash memory, microcontrollers, analog, mixed signal and system-on-chip solutions. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013, approximately $6.2 million and approximately $11.2 million were incurred as acquisition expenses and were included in the sales, general and administrative expense line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Spansion Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued) (Unaudited)

The table below represents the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as of August 1, 2013:

	Fair Values
	($ in thousands)
Cash		8,595
Restricted cash		32,086
Accounts receivable		1,534
Inventory		104,300
Property and equipment, net		12,143
Intangible Assets
Developed technology
Automotive microcontrollers		10,500
Consumer microcontrollers		5,900
Analog		12,700
In-Process technology		500
Customer relationships		18,800
Trademarks		2,700
Tradenames		1,400
Deferred tax liability		(3,739	)
Japan Pension related underfunded liability		(23,923	)
Liability to FSL for excess pension related cash received		(8,163	)
Japan employees compensation and benefits liability		(8,585	)
Gain on acquisition of Microcontroller and Analog business		(8,205	)
Total Purchase Consideration		158,543

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has not finalized the purchase price allocation for this acquisition.

Gain on acquisition

The accounting guidance requires that economic gain resulting from the fair value received being greater than the consideration paid to acquire the net assets be recorded as a one-time gain included in earnings on the acquisition date. The Company recorded a gain on acquisition of $8.2 million, which is disclosed as a separate line in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company was able to acquire the AM Business for less than the sum of the fair value of its net assets largely as a result of its long-standing and on-going relationship with FSL, including the existing and future distribution and supply agreements between the Company’s core flash memory business, the AM Business and Fujitsu’s continuing business in the semiconductor space. Additionally, the Company believes there is a significant difference in the market participant approach it used to value the business compared to the way Fujitsu valued the business due to the differences in each company’s method of running the business. Historically, Fujitsu operated the AM Business as a fully integrated manufacturer owning substantially all of the manufacturing facilities in the supply chain. In recent years, the high fixed cost nature of this business model contributed to its substantial losses. The Company, conversely, valued the business using the income approach based on an outsourced business model where the Company mainly incurs only the variable cost of manufacturing in sourcing products for the AM Business going forward.

Identifiable intangible assets

Developed technology relates to FSL’s automotive microcontroller, consumer microcontroller and analog technologies that have reached technological feasibility. Developed technology was valued at the individual product level under each of these categories. The income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, which calculates the value based on the risk-adjusted present value of the cash flows specific to the products, net of all contributory asset returns was used. The estimated economic lives of the underlying developed technologies were based on the estimated product lifecycles of the current automotive, consumer, and analog products. A discount rate of 24.0% was used to discount the cash flows to the present value. The Company will amortize the fair value of the acquired developed technology on a straight line basis.

In-process research and development (IPR&D) relates to research and development for products that have not yet reached technological feasibility. A discount rate of 26.0% was used to value the research and development projects, adjusted to reflect additional risks inherent in the acquired projects. Acquired IPR&D assets are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period after the acquisition date, these assets will be subject to periodic impairment testing. If a research and development project is terminated, the associated IPR&D asset will be written down to zero in the period in which the project is terminated. Upon successful completion of the development process for an acquired IPR&D project, determination of the useful life of the asset will be made; at that time, the asset would be considered a finite-lived intangible asset and the Company would begin to amortize the asset into earnings. Management estimates that it will take approximately three months to three years to complete the on-going projects, depending on whether these relate to the analog, consumer or automotive microcontroller markets, and that the acquired assets will then be amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives for developed technology in each of these markets.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales of products to existing customers of the AM business. As a result of the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with Fujitsu for the distribution of its microcontroller and analog products in Japan and acquired several non-Japan customer relationships. Customer relationships were valued using the with-and-without-method, a form of the income approach, which captures the opportunity cost associated with the theoretical loss of the customers existing as of the valuation date. The method involves a comparison of the cash flows as if the customer relationships were in place versus as if the customer relationships were to be created "from scratch". This method also assumes that all other assets, know-how and technology were easily available in both scenarios.

Customer relationships, trademarks and trade names were fair valued using a discount rate of 24.0%. The estimated fair values of these intangibles will be amortized on a straight line basis.

Liability relating to underfunded portion of Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The majority of the transferred employees were participants of the Fujitsu Corporate Pension Fund and Retirement Allowance Plan (together, “the Pension Plan”). In accordance with the SPA, these employees will remain in, and will continue to participate in the Pension Plan through the acquired subsidiaries in Japan. All pension related costs will be billed by Fujitsu to Spansion periodically, and related assets will continue to be managed and invested by the Pension Plan.

Spansion Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued) (Unaudited)

The Pension Plan had unfunded and underfunded liabilities as of August 1, 2013 which the Company assumed. Fujitsu agreed to pay the Company for the total amount of the unfunded and underfunded liabilities and transferred the cash on August 1, 2013. The cash transfer amount was calculated based on the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation less the fair value of Pension Plan assets at the period end, allocated from the Fujitsu Pension Plan for the transferred employees. The fair value of the Pension Plan assets was derived from balances reported by the financial institutions that manage these assets. The projected defined benefit obligation was computed by an independent actuary in accordance with the terms of the SPA. This cash of $23.9 million is treated as restricted cash and is recorded in Other Current Assets and the unfunded and underfunded liabilities are recorded under Accrued Compensation and Benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company also received additional cash pending the actuarial estimation of the underfunded portion of the pension liability. This amount of $8.2 million has also been recorded as restricted cash and a liability payable to FSL.

Other liabilities taken over as part of the acquisition

The Company also took over certain other liabilities of $8.6 million relating to employee compensation and benefits in Japan for which it was reimbursed in cash by FSL.

Pro Forma consolidated results of operations

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 assume the acquisition had occurred as of December 26, 2011.

6. Equity Incentive Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan (2010 Plan) provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance awards, and deferred stock to its employees, consultants and non-employee members of its Board of Directors.

In the first half of fiscal 2013, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) to certain senior executives. The PSUs have vesting percentages ranging from 0% to 100%, calculated based on the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the Company’s common stock as compared to the TSR of its peer companies. These awards are divided into two equal tranches, each with an 18-month performance period. The first performance period is from February 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014 and the second performance period is from August 1, 2014 through January 31, 2016. The grant date fair value for these grants is estimated using the Monte-Carlo option pricing model.

7. Net Income (loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share represents the earnings attributable to each share of common stock after giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities which were outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and RSUs is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. On August 26, 2013, Spansion LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $150.0 million of Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020 (“the Notes”) in a private placement. The Notes can be settled either by cash or shares of common stock of the Company, or a combination of both at the discretion of the Company. The potential dilution impact of the Notes is computed using the if-converted method. The if-converted method is used for convertible securities that have a potential for sharing in earnings as common stock. Thus, the interest expense less income tax effects applicable to the Notes are not recognized in net income(loss) to determine basic and diluted net income (loss) per share and the weighted–average number of shares is adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion as of the beginning of the year or actual date of issuance if later.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

2.00% Senior Exchangeable Notes

On August 26, 2013, Spansion LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $150.0 million of Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2020 in a private placement. The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated August 26, 2013, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. They are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and Spansion Technology LLC. The Notes will mature on September 1, 2020, unless earlier repurchased or converted, and bear interest of 2.0% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, commencing on March 1, 2014. The Notes may be due and payable immediately in certain events of default.

The Notes are exchangeable for an initial exchange rate of 72.0929 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $13.87 per share) subject to adjustments for anti-dilutive issuances and make-whole adjustments upon a fundamental change. A fundamental change includes a change in control, delisting of the Company’s stock and liquidation, consolidation or merger of the Company. Prior to June 1, 2020, the Notes will be exchangeable under certain specified circumstances as described in the Indenture.

The Notes were issued at face value, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $145.5 million after related offering expenses. In accounting for the Notes at issuance, the Company separated the Notes into debt and equity components according to the accounting standards for convertible debt instruments that may be fully or partially settled in cash upon conversion. The carrying amount of the debt component, which approximates its fair value, was estimated by using an interest rate for nonconvertible debt, with terms similar to the Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the Notes over the fair value of the debt component was recorded as a debt discount and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is accreted to the carrying value of the Notes over their term as interest expense using the interest method. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital is not to be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. Upon issuance of the Notes, the Company recorded $110.2 million as debt and $39.8 million as additional paid-in capital in Stockholders’equity.

The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $5.0 million relating to the issuance of the Notes. In accounting for these costs, the Company allocated the costs of the offering in proportion to the fair value of the debt and equity recognized in accordance with the accounting standards. The transaction costs allocated to the debt component of approximately $3.6 million were recorded as deferred offering costs in other non-current assets and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes. The transaction costs allocated to the equity component of approximately $1.3 million were recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Capped Calls

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain bank counterparties to reduce the risk of potential dilution of the Company’s common stock upon the exchange of the Notes. The capped call transactions have a strike price of approximately $13.87 and a cap price of approximately $18.14, and are exercisable when and if the Notes are converted. If upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the price of the Company’s common stock is above the strike price of the capped calls, the counterparties will deliver shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash with an aggregate value approximately equal to the difference between the price of the Company’s common stock at the conversion date (as defined, with a maximum price for purposes of this calculation equal to the cap price) and the strike price, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock related to the capped call transactions being exercised. The capped call expires on September 1, 2020. The Company paid $15.4 million for these capped calls and recorded the payment as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

7.875% Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 26, 2013, the Company used proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes to repurchase $105.9 million of the 7.875% Senior Unsecured Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 27, 2013, the Company amended its revolving credit facility (the “2012 Revolving Credit Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A and other financial institutions to increase the revolving loan commitment from $50 million to $70 million. The amendment to Revolving Credit Facility contains additional covenants requiring: (a) the consolidated quick ratio as determined on the last day of any fiscal quarter to not be less than 1.25 to 1.0, and (b) the amount of consolidated cash, cash equivalent and other short-term marketable investments to not be less than $150 million.

The Company is in compliance of all the covenants under its existing debt arrangements as of September 29, 2013.

10. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures its cash equivalents, marketable securities, foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate derivative contracts at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Cash equivalents, auction rate securities and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because the Company values them using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs. The foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and observable market data of similar instruments. The Company principally executes its foreign currency contracts in the retail market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants and the Company’s counterparties are large money center banks and regional banks. The valuation inputs for the Company’s foreign currency contracts are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data sources (specifically, spot exchange rates, LIBOR rates and credit default rates) and do not involve management judgment. In determining the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, the Company uses the present value of expected cash flows based on observable market interest rate yield curves and interest rate volatility commensurate with the term of each instrument.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into multiple foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain operational exposures resulting from movements in Japanese yen (JPY) exchange rates. The Company’s hedging policy is designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on operating results. Some of these foreign currency forward contracts were considered to be economic hedges that were not designated as hedging instruments while others were designated as cash flow hedges. Whether designated or undesignated, these forward contracts protect the Company against the variability of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from revenues and net asset or liability positions designated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are not speculative in nature.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges are carried at fair value and have maturities between three and eight months. As of September 29, 2013, the Company had outstanding forward contracts to buy USD for $30.9 million. Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify $3.6 million from accumulated other comprehensive gain to earnings as the related forecasted transactions occur.

The following table summarizes the activity related to derivatives in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax:
