State below in reasonable detail why forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The registrant was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 28, 2012 within prescribed time period due to the recently completed acquisition of assets related to the digital television business of Trident Microsystems, Inc., the completion of the independent valuation of the purchased assets and the related analysis of accounting treatment of the acquisition. The process of compiling and disseminating the information required to be included in the Form 10-Q for the relevant fiscal quarter, as well as the completion of the required review of its financial information, could not be completed without incurring undue hardship and expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant will file its Form 10-Q no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
