RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Prospectus and incorporated
herein by reference, the following factors should be carefully considered in
evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing shares of Common Stock
offered hereby.
DEPENDENCE ON NEW PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS. The Company believes
that its future success depends, in part, on its ability to improve its existing
technologies and to develop and implement new process technologies in order to
continue to reduce semiconductor die size, improve device performance and
manufacturing yields, adapt products and processes to technological changes and
adopt emerging industry standards. If the Company is not able to implement new
process technologies successfully and achieve volume production of new products
at acceptable yields using new manufacturing processes, the Company's operating
results will be adversely affected. In addition, the Company must continue to
develop and introduce new products that compete effectively on the basis of
price and performance and that satisfy customer requirements. New product
development often requires long-term forecasting of market trends, development
and implementation of new processes and technologies and a substantial capital
commitment. The Company intends the CoreWare library elements it offers to be
based upon industry standard functions, protocols and interfaces, thereby
positioning them to be useful in a wide variety of systems applications. The
Company is increasingly emphasizing engineering development and acquisition of
CoreWare building blocks and integration of CoreWare libraries into its design
capabilities. There can be no assurance, however, that the cores selected for
investment of the Company's financial and engineering resources will be
developed or acquired in a timely manner or will enjoy market acceptance.
MANUFACTURING RISKS. Disruption of operations at any of the Company's
primary manufacturing facilities, particularly the Company's Japanese
facilities, or any of its subcontractors for any reason, including work
stoppages, fire, earthquake or other natural disasters, would cause delays in
shipments of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that alternate
capacity, particularly wafer production capacity, would be available on a timely
basis or at all, or that if available, it could be obtained on favorable terms.
The Company has been operating most of its manufacturing facilities at or close
to capacity during the last year. Although the Company currently has plans to
increase its production capacity through the installation of new production
equipment at its manufacturing facilities, planned construction of a new
fabrication facility in the United States and technology improvements, there is
no assurance that the Company will be able to expand its manufacturing capacity
to meet expected future demand, which could result in a loss of customers and
could materially and adversely affect the Company's operating results. In
addition, if demand for the Company's products does not absorb the additional
capacity, the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to
increases in production capacity may materially and adversely affect the
Company's operations.
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company believes that its future
operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon
a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of both the
semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by the Company's products, the
ability to develop and implement new technologies, the availability and extent
of utilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in product mix, fluctuations
in manufacturing yields, the timing of new product introductions, price erosion,
exchange rate fluctuations and other factors. As a participant in the
semiconductor industry, the Company operates in a technologically advanced,
rapidly changing and highly competitive environment. The Company predominantly
sells custom products to customers operating in a similar environment.
Accordingly, changes in the conditions of any of the Company's customers may
have a greater impact on the Company than if the Company offered standard
products that could be sold to many purchasers. While the Company cannot predict
what effect these factors may have on its financial results, the aggregate
effect of these and other factors could result in significant volatility in the
Company's future performance and stock price. To the extent the Company's
performance may not meet expectations published by external sources, public
reaction could result in a sudden and significantly adverse impact on the market
price of the Company's securities, particularly on a short-term basis.
COMPETITION. The semiconductor industry in general and the markets in which
the Company competes in particular are intensely competitive, exhibiting both
rapid technological changes and continued price erosion. The Company's
competitors include many large domestic and foreign companies which have
substantially greater financial, technical and management resources than the
Company, as well as emerging companies attempting to sell products to
specialized markets such as those addressed by the Company.
4
<PAGE> 5
Several major diversified electronics companies, including Fujitsu, Ltd.,
Toshiba Corporation and NEC Corporation, and a number of United States
semiconductor manufacturers, including AT&T, Motorola Inc. and Texas Instruments
Incorporated, offer ASIC products or other products which are competitive with
the product lines of the Company. In addition, there is no assurance that
certain large customers, some of whom have licensed elements of the Company's
process and product technologies, will not develop internal design and
production operations to produce their own ASICs.
CAPITAL NEEDS. The semiconductor industry is extremely capital intensive
requiring continuing investments in new facilities and equipment. To remain
competitive, the Company must continue to expand its facilities and to invest in
advanced manufacturing and test equipment. During 1995, the Company expects to
make net capital expenditures of approximately $200 to $250 million. The Company
currently estimates that the cost to construct and fully equip its proposed new
facility as well as to acquire new equipment for existing facilities will
require annual capital expenditures in excess of these amounts in each of the
next several years. While the Company believes that the proceeds from this
offering, together with existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, and
available equipment lease financing will be sufficient to meet the Company's
liquidity and capital requirements for the next 12 months, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not be required to seek other financing sooner
or that such financing, if required, would be available on terms satisfactory to
the Company. In this regard, any significant adverse effect upon the Company's
cash flow from operations could accelerate the Company's need to seek additional
outside capital.
CURRENCY RISKS. In countries in which the Company is conducting business in
a local currency, currency exchange fluctuations could adversely affect the
Company's revenues and costs. A substantial portion of the costs of the
Company's manufacturing operations are denominated in Japanese yen. In addition,
the Company purchases a substantial portion of its raw materials and equipment
from foreign suppliers and incurs labor costs in foreign locations. A portion of
these transactions are denominated in currencies other than in U.S. dollars,
principally in Japanese yen. International sales are generally denominated in
local currencies. The Company also has borrowings denominated in yen, which
totaled approximately 15 billion yen (approximately $172 million at March 31,
1995) and in June 1995 entered into a 15 billion yen lease line under which
approximately 6.2 billion yen (approximately $74 million) had been drawn down at
June 30, 1995. Such transactions and borrowings expose the Company to exchange
rate fluctuations for the period of time from inception of the transaction until
it is settled. In recent years, the yen has fluctuated substantially against the
U.S. dollar. However, the Company has entered and will from time to time enter
into hedging transactions in order to minimize exposure to currency rate
fluctuations. There can be no assurance that such hedging transactions will
minimize exposure to currency rate fluctuations or that fluctuations in currency
exchange rates in the future will not have an adverse impact on the Company's
results of operations.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION. As a result of the Company's strategy to direct its
marketing and selling efforts toward selected customers, the Company expects
that it will become increasingly dependent on a limited number of customers for
a substantial portion of its revenues. During 1994 and the quarter ended March
31, 1995, approximately 58% and 62%, respectively, of the Company's net revenues
were derived from sales to its top ten customers. Sales to Sony for its
Playstation game console are expected to account for slightly in excess of 10%
of the Company's revenues during the first half of 1995. Loss of new product
design wins or cancellation of business from any of these major customers,
significant changes in scheduled deliveries to any of these customers or
decreases in the prices of products sold to any of these customers could
materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TEXAS INSTRUMENTS LITIGATION. Although the
Company believes that the protection afforded by its patents, patent
applications and trademarks has value, the rapidly changing technology in the
semiconductor industry makes the Company's future success dependent primarily
upon the technical competence and creative skills of its personnel rather than
on patent and trademark protection. As is typical in the semiconductor industry,
the Company has from time to time received, and may in the future receive,
communications from other parties asserting patent rights, mask work rights,
copyrights or trademark rights that such other parties allege cover certain of
the Company's products, processes, technologies or information. Several such
assertions relating to patents are in various stages of evaluation. The Company
is considering whether to seek licenses with respect to certain of these claims.
As described below, litigation has
5
<PAGE> 6
arisen with respect to one of these assertions. Based on industry practice, the
Company believes that licenses or other rights, if necessary, could be obtained
on commercially reasonable terms for such existing or future claims.
Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that licenses can be obtained, or if
obtained will be on acceptable terms or that litigation or other administrative
proceedings will not occur. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other
rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or litigation
arising out of such other parties assertions, both existing and future, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's future operating results.
The Company is one of three defendants in a patent infringement suit
brought by Texas Instruments ("TI"). This suit resulted in a May 1995 jury
verdict against the Company holding the patents valid and finding wilful
infringement. Damages against the Company were set by the jury at $14.6 million,
for which the Company has adequate reserves. Because both of the patents
involved in the litigation have expired, the verdict will have no effect upon
the manufacture or sale of the Company's present or future products. The Company
has filed various post-trial motions which, if granted, could reduce the jury
award or set aside the jury verdict entirely. TI has requested treble damages,
pre-judgment interest in the amount of $7.5 million from the Company and
attorneys' fees that total $3.8 million from all parties. The Company believes
that the jury verdict was in error and intends to appeal. The Company continues
to believe that the final outcome of this matter will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations. No assurance can be given, however, that this matter will be
resolved without the payment of damages and other costs or that damages will not
be increased to an amount in excess of the Company's reserves, thereby having an
adverse effect on the Company.
CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY. The semiconductor industry
is characterized by rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and
price erosion. The semiconductor industry historically has been characterized by
wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to time the industry
also has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in
anticipation of, maturing product cycles (of both the semiconductor companies
and their customers) and declines in general economic conditions. These
downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production
overcapacity and subsequent accelerated erosion of average selling prices, and
in some cases, have lasted for more than a year. For example, the Company
believes that its operating results were adversely affected by an industry-wide
downturn in the demand for semiconductors beginning in 1990, culminating in the
Company's 1992 restructuring charge and reorganization of its operations.
Currently, the semiconductor industry in general, including the Company, is
experiencing a period of increased demand. There is no assurance that these
conditions will continue. The Company may experience substantial
period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results due to general
industry conditions, events occurring in the worldwide economy or a significant
industry-wide downturn.

THE COMPANY
LSI Logic Corporation (the "Company") is a leader in the design,
development, manufacture and marketing of high performance application-specific
integrated circuits ("ASICs"). The Company uses advanced process technology and
computer-aided design methodology to design and develop highly complex ASICs and
other integrated circuits. The Company's sub-micron process technologies
combined with its product libraries, including CoreWare libraries, provide the
Company with the ability to integrate system level solutions on a single chip.
The Company has increasingly directed its marketing and selling efforts
toward selected customers in high growth end markets that are characterized by
increasingly shortened product cycles and ongoing changes in technological
standards and performance requirements. As a result, customers in these markets
tend to benefit from the flexibility of customized ASIC design methodology to
help differentiate their products while still complying with existing and
emerging global industry standards such as Ethernet and ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) in the networking market, PCI bus interface in the personal
computer market and MPEG2 (Motion Picture Experts Group) for video compression
applications in the digital video market.
The Company focuses its product marketing strategy primarily on original
equipment manufacturers in the electronic data processing, telecommunications
and certain office automation industries and, within these industries,
emphasizes digital video, networking, desktop and personal computing and
wireless communication applications. The Company increasingly directs its
marketing and selling efforts towards a limited number of customers that are
acknowledged industry leaders in these markets. The Company's customers include
Alcatel NV, AT&T, Cisco Systems, Inc., Compaq Computer Corporation, Digital
Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines
Corporation, Intel Corporation, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.,
Newbridge Networks Corporation, Siemens AG, Silicon Graphics, Inc., Sony
Corporation and Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The Company's CoreWare product library approach and its sub-micron process
technologies permit system-level integration of functional cores or elements
including microprocessor "engines," logic blocks (including industry-standard
functions, protocols and interfaces), memory and customer-specific proprietary
logic functions on a single piece of silicon. Examples of these elements include
the MIPS microprocessor core family and cores implementing Ethernet, MPEG, JPEG
and ATM standards. This methodology enables customers to improve the
performance, reliability and further differentiate their products while
shortening product development cycles, lowering development costs and optimizing
the customer's application.
The Company's proprietary computer-aided design tools are highly integrated
with the Company's manufacturing process requirements, thereby providing high
predictability that a product's physical performance will mirror the computer
simulation of the chip and affording high predictability of performance of
products developed using the Company's design methodology. The Company's
sophisticated design tools, advanced process technology and sub-micron
manufacturing capability are intended to provide customers with highly
integrated solutions that work right the first time.
The Company provides customers with a comprehensive approach and a
continuum of solutions for the design and manufacture of leading-edge ASICs.
This allows customers substantial flexibility in how they proceed with an ASIC
design project. A customer may establish product specifications for
implementation into a particular chip design by the customer's engineers, by the
Company's engineers on a "turn-key" basis or through a collaborative effort. The
Company's design environment includes expanded interface capabilities to certain
third-party EDA software design tools from companies such as Cadence Design
Systems, Inc., Mentor Graphics Corporation and Synopsys, Inc.
The Company has developed and uses advanced manufacturing process
technologies, including 0.6-micron and 0.5-micron CMOS processes, for its
advanced product offerings. As process technology becomes more sophisticated,
allowing greater density and increased functionality on a single chip, the
system-on-a-chip is becoming the foundation of the Company's approach to the
marketplace.
The Company believes that owning its wafer manufacturing facilities not
only provides better access to capacity but also improves quality,
cost-effectiveness, responsiveness to customers, ability to implement
7
<PAGE> 8
leading-edge process technology and time-to-market as compared to companies that
do not own their own wafer fabrication facilities. The Company's manufacturing
operations are located in the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. The Company
performs substantially all of its packaging, assembly and final test operations
through third-party subcontractors in various locations. During 1994, the
Company's United States production operations received ISO-9002 certification,
an important international measure for quality.
The Company markets its products and services on a worldwide basis through
its direct sales, marketing and field technical staff of approximately 750
employees (including its majority-owned subsidiaries in Europe, Canada and
Japan) and through independent sales representatives and distributors. The
Company operates over 25 design centers around the world to assist customers in
product design activities. The Company's network of design centers allows the
Company to provide its customers with highly experienced engineers to interact
with its customers' engineering management and system architects to develop
designs for new products and to provide continuing after-sale customer support.
The Company was incorporated in California on November 6, 1980 and
reincorporated in Delaware on June 11, 1987. Its principal offices are located
at 1551 McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, California 95035, and its telephone number
at that location is (408) 433-8000. Except where otherwise indicated, references
to the "Company" means LSI Logic Corporation and its subsidiaries.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby are estimated
to be $214,450,000 ($246,662,500 if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full) at the public offering price of $44.50 per share and after
deducting the estimated underwriters' discounts and commissions and expenses
payable by the Company in connection with the offering. The Company intends to
use such net proceeds primarily for capital expenditures, principally to
purchase equipment for its existing manufacturing facilities and to commence
construction of a new 8-inch wafer fabrication facility in the United States,
and for general corporate purposes. During 1995, the Company expects to make net
capital expenditures of approximately $200 to $250 million, approximately
one-half of which has been spent to date. In addition, the Company, from time to
time, may consider acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses,
assets or technologies. At the present time, however, the Company has no
agreements or understandings, nor are there any negotiations pending, with
respect to any material acquisitions. The Company believes that the net proceeds
from the sale of the Common Stock in this offering, together with existing cash
balances, cash flow from operations and available equipment lease financing,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and capital requirements for
the next 12 months. The Company believes that success in its industry requires
substantial financial strength and flexibility. Accordingly, the Company may
seek additional equity or debt financing to fund the completion of its planned
8-inch wafer fabrication facility, further expansion of its existing fabrication
capacity or for other purposes. Pending such uses, the Company will invest the
net proceeds in short- or medium-term income producing investments.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock since its
incorporation and anticipates that for the foreseeable future it will continue
to retain any earnings for use in its business.

* Fully diluted amount disclosures are not required because they are
substantially the same as primary amounts disclosed for these periods.
(1) The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. For
presentation purposes, the consolidated financial statements refer to
December 31 as year end. Fiscal 1993 was a 53-week year, whereas, 1994, 1992
and 1990 were 52-week years. The fourth quarter of 1993 was a 14-week
quarter, whereas the first, second and third quarters were 13-week quarters.
The additional week in the fourth quarter of 1993 did not have a material
impact on the Company's results of operations.
(2) Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1992 and 1993 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on results of operations or stockholders'
equity.
------------------------
As of March 31, 1995, the Company had remaining restructuring reserves of
approximately $14.6 million relating to the phase down of its Fremont
development facility and the phase out of its Milpitas manufacturing facility.
During the second quarter, the Company determined to continue to operate its
Milpitas facility and completed the phase down of the Fremont facility and, as a
result, expects to significantly reduce such reserves during the quarter ending
June 30, 1995. The Company also expects, however, that such reduction in
reserves will be substantially offset by increases in its restructuring reserves
for other corporate matters, including the $14.6 million jury verdict against
the Company during the quarter ending June 30, 1995 in the Texas Instruments
litigation. See "Risk Factors -- Intellectual Property and Texas Instruments
Litigation." Accordingly, the Company does not expect that these events will
have a material effect on its net income for the quarter ending June 30, 1995.
