the period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of business. PMC-Sierra, Inc (the "Company" or "PMC-Sierra")
provides customers with internetworking semiconductor system solutions for high
speed transmission and networking systems.
Basis of presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of PMC-Sierra, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The
Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. For ease of
presentation, the reference to December 31 has been utilized as the fiscal year
end for all financial statement captions. Fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 each
consisted of 52 weeks. The Company's reporting currency is the United States
dollar.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates
and for the periods presented. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the
accounting for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, depreciation and
amortization, sales returns, warranty costs, taxes and contingencies. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash equivalents are defined
as highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities at the date of
acquisition of 90 days or less that have insignificant interest rate risk.
Short-term investments are defined as money market instruments with original
maturities greater than 90 days, but less than one year.
Under Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities, management classifies investments as
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and re-evaluates
such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments classified as
held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost with corresponding
premiums or discounts amortized against interest income over the life of the
investment.
Marketable equity and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are
classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains
and losses on these investments are included in equity as a separate component
of stockholders' equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method.
As at December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's short-term investments consisted
of held-to-maturity and/or available-for-sale investments, and their carrying
value was substantially the same as their market value. Proceeds from sales and
realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities for all years
presented were immaterial.
As of December 31, 1999, $6.1 million of short-term investments related to
available-for-sale securities (1998 - nil).
Restricted cash. At December 31, 1999, the Company had restricted cash of $2.0
million which was released from restriction on June 30, 2000.
<PAGE>
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first out)
or market (estimated net realizable value).
The components of inventories are as follows:
December 31,
-------------------------
(IN THOUSANDS) 1999 1998
-----------------------------------------------------
Work-in-progress $ 10,275 $ 2,590
Finished goods 4,002 2,626
-----------------------------------------------------
$ 14,277 $ 5,216
============================
Property and equipment, net. Property and equipment are stated at cost and
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, ranging from two to five years, or the applicable lease term,
whichever is shorter. The carrying value of property and equipment is reviewed
periodically for any permanent impairment in value.
The components of property and equipment are as follows:
December 31,
------------------------
(IN THOUSANDS) 1999 1998
-----------------------------------------------------
Machinery and equipment $ 91,160 $ 62,504
Leasehold improvements 5,371 2,709
Furniture and fixtures 5,037 3,024
Building 701 693
-----------------------------------------------------
Total cost 102,269 68,930
Accumulated depreciation (50,808) (32,498)
-----------------------------------------------------
$ 51,461 $ 36,432
========================
The Company leases furniture and equipment under long-term capital leases.
Accordingly, capitalized costs of approximately $6,171,000 and $19,035,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and accumulated amortization of
approximately $4,549,000 and $12,434,000, respectively, are included in property
and equipment.
Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill, developed and core technology
and other intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization,
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the
respective assets, generally three to seven years. Among other considerations,
to assess impairment, the Company periodically estimates undiscounted future
cash flows to determine if they exceed the unamortized balance of the related
intangible asset.
The components of goodwill and other intangible assets, net arose from the
following acquisitions:

========================
Investments in Non-Public Companies. The Company has certain investments in
non-publicly traded companies in which it has less than 20% of the voting rights
and in which it does not exercise significant influence. These investments are
carried at cost. The Company monitors these investments for impairment and makes
appropriate reductions in carrying value when necessary.
Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Investees in which the Company has
between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, and in which the Company exercises
significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Deposits for wafer fabrication capacity. Two independent foundries supply
substantially all of the Company's products. Under wafer supply agreements with
these foundries, the Company has deposits of $19.1 million (1998 - $23.1
million) to secure access to wafer fabrication capacity. During 1999, the
Company purchased $30.5 million ($18.3 million and $13.2 million in 1998 and
1997, respectively) from these foundries. Purchases in any year may or may not
be indicative of any future period since wafers are purchased based on current
market pricing and the Company's volume requirements change in relation to sales
of its products.
In each year, the Company is entitled to receive a refund of a portion of the
deposits based on the annual purchases from these suppliers compared to the
target levels in the wafer supply agreements. Based on 1999 purchases, the
Company is entitled to receive a $4.6 million refund from these suppliers in the
first quarter of 2000. If the Company does not receive back the balance of its
deposits during the term of the agreements, then the outstanding deposits will
be refunded to the Company at the termination of the agreements.
Accrued liabilities. The components of accrued liabilities are as follows:

Foreign currency translation. For all foreign operations, the U.S. dollar is the
functional currency. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated
using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are
translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses from
foreign currency transactions are included in interest and other income, net.
<PAGE>
Fair value of financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company's carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximates fair value because the instruments have a short-term maturity.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt and obligations under capital
leases at December 31, 1999 and 1998 also approximates their carrying value.
The fair value of the deposits for wafer fabrication capacity is not practicably
determinable.
Concentrations. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments in investment grade financial instruments with high-quality
financial institutions, thereby reducing credit risk concentrations.
At December 31, 1999, approximately 43% (1998 - 38%) of accounts receivable
represented amounts due from one of the Company's distributors. The Company
believes that this concentration and the concentration of credit risk resulting
from trade receivables owing from high-technology industry customers is
substantially mitigated by the Company's credit evaluation process, large number
of customers, relatively short collection terms, and the geographical dispersion
of sales. The Company generally does not require collateral security for
outstanding amounts.
The Company relies on a limited number of suppliers for wafer fabrication
capacity.
Revenue recognition. Revenues from product sales direct to customers and minor
distributors are recognized at the time of shipment. The Company accrues for
warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment based
on its experience. Certain of the Company's product sales are made to major
distributors under agreements allowing for price protection and/or right of
return on products unsold. Accordingly, the Company defers recognition of
revenue on such sales until the products are sold by the distributors.
Interest and other income, net. The components of interest and other income, net
are as follows:

* consists primarily of interest on long-term and obligations under capital
leases.
Income taxes. Income taxes are reported under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 and, accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized using
the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Net income (loss) per common share. Basic net income (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. The PMC-Sierra Ltd. Special Shares have been included in the calculation
of basic net income (loss) per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent
shares consist of stock options and warrants.
Share and per share data presented reflect the two-for-one stock splits
effective February 2000 and May 1999.
Segment reporting. In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information (SFAS 131). SFAS 131 uses a management approach to report
financial and descriptive information about a Company's operating segments.
Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the Company for which
separate financial information is produced internally for the Company's
management. Under this definition, the Company operated, for all periods
presented, in two segments: networking and non-networking products.
Comprehensive income. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company is required to report total
comprehensive income and comprehensive income per share. Comprehensive income is
defined as changes in stockholders' equity exclusive of transactions with owners
such as capital contributions and dividends. The Company has no comprehensive
income items, other than the net income or loss in any of the years presented.
Recently issued accounting standards. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133
(SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. SFAS 133 will require the recognition of all derivatives on
the Company's consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The FASB has
subsequently delayed implementation of the standard to the financial years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company expects to adopt the new Statement
effective January 1, 2001. The impact on the Company's financial statements is
not expected to be material.
<PAGE>
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101(SAB 101), Revenue Recognition, which outlines the
basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for
presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition
policies in financial statements filed with the SEC. The Company believes the
adoption of SAB 101 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position and results of operations. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 no
later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to
conform with the 1999 presentation.

Acquisition of Integrated Telecom Technology, Inc.
-------------------------------------------------
In 1998, the Company acquired Integrated Telecom Technology, Inc. in exchange
for total consideration of $55.0 million consisting of cash paid to IGT
stockholders of $17.8 million, cash paid to IGT creditors of $9.0 million and
the balance of $28.2 million by the issuance of approximately 1,660,000 shares
of common stock and options to purchase approximately 214,000 shares of common
stock (based on the market value of PMC-Sierra common stock on the issuance
date). The purchase price includes professional fees and other direct costs of
the acquisition totaling $850,000. IGT was a fabless semiconductor company
headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland with a development site in San Jose,
California. Upon consummation of the transaction, IGT was merged with a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
<PAGE>
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
the final allocation among tangible and intangible assets and liabilities was as
follows (in thousands):
Tangible assets $ 4,598
Intangible assets:
Developed and core technology 7,830
Assembled workforce 1,050
Goodwill 9,284
In process research and development ("IPR&D") 37,757
Liabilities (4,669)
-----------
$ 55,850
===========
The amount allocated to IPR&D of $37.8 million was expensed upon acquisition, as
it was determined that the underlying projects had not reached technological
feasibility, had no alternative future use and successful development was
uncertain. In the allocation of the IGT acquisition purchase price to IPR&D
consideration was given to the following for each in process project at the time
of the acquisition:
- the present value of the forecasted cash flows and income that were expected
to result from the projects;
- the status of the projects;
- completion costs;
- project risks;
- the value of core technology; and
- the stage of completion of the individual project.
In valuing core technology, the relative allocations to core technology and
IPR&D were consistent with the relative contributions of each project. The value
of IPR&D was determined based on efforts completed as of the date IGT was
acquired.
As of the acquisition date, IGT had three development projects in process. In
order to develop these projects into commercially viable products, the Company
had to complete all planning, designing and testing activities necessary to
establish that the products could be produced to meet their design requirements.
Project A was completed in the first quarter of 1999 and was in full production
by the end of the year. Project B was in development in the fourth quarter of
1998 and was in full production by the first quarter of 1999. This was
consistent with the initial estimates used in the valuation of the projects.
During the third quarter of 1998, the Company determined that the intangible
value of Project C was impaired. The developed and core technology related to
this project in process at the time of acquisition was determined not to be
technologically feasible and had no alternative future use. As a result, the
Company recognized an impairment of $4.3 million in intangible assets and
related goodwill.

========== ==========
Investments in Non-Public Companies
-----------------------------------
The Company has certain investments in non-publicly traded companies which are
generally recorded at cost. In 1999, the Company made investments in various
non-publicly traded companies for total cash consideration of $8.5 million (1998
- nil; 1997 - $3 million).
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company recognized a gain related to the
disposition of its investment in IC Works, Inc. (ICW). ICW was purchased by
Cypress Semiconductor, Inc. (Cypress), a publicly traded company. As part of the
purchase agreement between ICW and Cypress, the Company's preferred shares in
ICW, with a nominal book value, were exchanged for 923,600 common shares of
Cypress which had a fair market value of approximately $8.6 million. During the
same quarter, the Company sold 831,240 of the Cypress common shares resulting in
a total pre-tax gain of $ 12.3 million. The remaining 92,360 Cypress common
shares are subject to certain escrow restrictions, are not available for sale
until first quarter of 2000 and are carried at the nominal book value of the
Company's original investment in ICW.
Investments in Equity Accounted Investee
----------------------------------------
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company's investee, Sierra Wireless Inc.,
which was accounted for under the cost method, completed an initial public
offering (IPO) in Canada. As part of this IPO, the Company's investment in
non-voting preferred shares of Sierra Wireless were exchanged for 5.1 million
common shares of Sierra Wireless, of which 1.7 million shares were sold as part
of the IPO for a pre-tax gain of approximately $14.5 million.
As a result of these transactions, at December 31, 1999, the Company owned
approximately 24% of the common shares of Sierra Wireless and accounts for its
investment under the equity method. The difference between the carrying value of
the investment and the underlying equity in net assets, representing negative
goodwill in the amount of $7.4 million, is being amortized to equity in income
of investee over a five year period. Included in Interest and other income, net
for the year ended December 31, 1999, is equity in income of Sierra Wireless of
$792,000.
As at December 31, 1999, the quoted market value of the Company's investment in
Sierra Wireless was approximately $152.3 million. The common shares of Sierra
Wireless held by the Company are subject to certain resale provisions.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Company receives and makes
inquiries with regard to possible patent infringements. Where deemed advisable,
the Company may seek or extend licenses or negotiate settlements. Outcomes of
such negotiations may not be determinable at any point in time; however,
management does not believe that such licenses or settlements will, individually
or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

Authorized share capital of PMC-Sierra. On July 10, 1997, the Company was
reincorporated in the State of Delaware from the State of California. Prior to
the reincorporation, the Company had authorized capital of 55,405,916 shares,
50,000,000 of which were designated "Common Stock", 5,000,000 of which were
designated "Preferred Stock", and 405,916 of which were designated "Series D
Preferred Stock". All authorized shares had no par value. After the
reincorporation, the Company had an authorized capital of 55,000,000 shares,
50,000,000 of which were designated "Common Stock", $0.001 par value, and
5,000,000 of which were designated "Preferred Stock", $0.001 par value. The

purchase 50,759, 63,162 and 68,434 shares of common stock at $9.36, $3.06 and
$5.26 per share, respectively. These warrants expire between October 2002 and
December 2005. At the end of 1999, warrants to purchase 266,633 shares of common
stock were outstanding.
Exchangeable Shares. As a result of the acquisition of Extreme, each holder of
the Extreme common stock received shares exchangeable into 0.2240 shares of
PMC-Sierra common stock for each Extreme common share held. The shares are
exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for PMC-Sierra common stock on a
share-for-share basis. The exchangeable shares remain securities of PMC-Sierra
and entitle the holders to dividend and other rights economically equivalent to
that of PMC-Sierra common stock and, through a voting trust, to vote at
shareholder meetings of PMC-Sierra. At December 31, 1999, 1,620,000 of these
exchangeable shares were outstanding.

NOTE 9. Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In 1991, the Company adopted an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. A total
of 6,497,012 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the
Plan. Under this Plan, eligible employees may purchase a limited amount of
common stock at a minimum of 85% of the market value at certain plan-defined
dates.
During 1998, the Company's stockholders elected to add a provision to the ESPP.
Under the new terms, the number of shares authorized to be available for
issuance under the plan shall be increased automatically on January 1, 1999, and
every year thereafter until the expiration of the plan. The increase will be
limited to the lesser of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares on January 1 of each
year, (ii) 2,000,000 shares, or (iii) an amount to be determined by the Board of
Directors.
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, there were 229,518, 385,716 and
420,596 shares issued under the Plan at weighted-average prices of $8.12, $3.07
and $2.60 per share, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of the 1999,
1998 and 1997 awards was $9.32, $2.86 and $1.74 per share, respectively. During
1999, the Company's stockholders authorized an additional 1,257,012 shares to be
available under the plan. At December 31, 1999, there were 2,221,994 shares of
common stock available for issuance under the purchase plan.
Stock Option Plans. The Company has two main stock option plans: the 1987
Incentive Stock Plan and the 1994 Incentive Stock Plan. These plans cover grants
of options to purchase the Company's common stock. The options generally expire
within five to ten years and vest over four years.
During 1998, the Company's common stockholders elected to add a provision to the
1994 Incentive Stock Plan. Under the new terms, the number of shares authorized
to be available for issuance under the plan shall be increased automatically on
January 1, 1999 and every year thereafter until the expiration of the plan. The
increase will be limited to the lesser of (i) 4% of the outstanding shares on
January 1 of each year, (ii) 8,000,000 shares, or (iii) an amount to be
determined by the Board of Directors.
In addition, the Company has, in connection with the acquisitions of various
companies, assumed the stock option plans of each acquired company (see Note 2),
and the related options are included in the following table.

Stock-based compensation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the Company applies APB
Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based awards.
The Company's ESPP is non-compensatory under APB Opinion 25. The Company also
does not recognize compensation expense for employee stock options which are
granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's
common stock at the date of grant.
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share is required by SFAS 123 for awards granted or modified after December 31,
1994 as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees
under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's
stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value
of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the
multiple option approach, recognizing forfeitures as they occur, assuming no
expected dividends and using the following weighted average assumptions:
<PAGE>
Options ESPP
----------------------- ------------------------
1999 1998 1997 1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Expected life (years) 3.4 3.4 2.6 1.4 1.5 1.4
Expected volatility 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.8
Risk-free interest rate 5.4% 5.2% 6.0% 5.2% 5.2% 5.9%
If the computed fair values of 1999, 1998 and 1997 awards had been amortized to
expense over the vesting period of the awards as prescribed by SFAS 123, net
income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been:
(in thousands except per share amounts):
1999 1998 1997
-------- -------- --------
Net income (loss) $ 47,947 $(33,266) $26,005
Basic net income (loss) per share 0.33 (0.24) 0.20
Diluted net income (loss) per share 0.30 (0.24) 0.19
The pro forma disclosures above include the effect of SFAS 128 relating to the
calculation of net income per share and FASB Technical Bulletin 97-1, which
clarified the application of SFAS 123 for the estimation of the fair value of
awards under ESPP plans with a multiple year look-back feature.
Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to awards granted or modified subsequent to
December 31, 1994, the pro forma effect is not indicative of future pro forma
adjustments, when the calculation will apply to all applicable stock awards.

=========================
At December 31, 1999, the Company has approximately $183,157,000 of federal net
operating losses, which will expire from 2000 to 2019. Included in the federal
net operating losses is $13,726,000 which is subject to a limitation due to
ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
Company also has approximately $77,657,000 of state tax loss carryforwards,
which expire from 2001 to 2013. The utilization of these state losses is subject
to a limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by the various
state income tax legislation.
<PAGE>
Included in the credit carryforwards at December 31, 1999 are $3,585,000 of
federal research and development credits, which will expire from 2000 to 2012,
$628,000 of state manufacturer's investment credits which expire from 2002 to
2006, $1,767,000 of foreign tax credits which expire from 2000 to 2003,
$1,012,000 of state research and development credits and $410,000 of federal AMT
credits which carryforward indefinitely.
Not included in the deferred assets at December 31, 1999 are approximately
$39,547,000 of cumulative tax deductions related to equity transactions, the
benefit of which will be credited to stockholders' equity, if and when realized
after the other tax deductions in the carryforwards have been realized.
The pretax income from foreign operations was $116,839,000 in 1999, $61,298,000
in 1998 and $37,200,000 in 1997. Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no
provision for federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon
distribution of those earnings in the form of a dividend or otherwise, the
Company would be subject to both US income taxes (subject to an adjustment for
foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign
countries. It is not practical to estimate the income tax liability that might
be incurred on the remittance of such earnings.
NOTE 11. Segment Information
The Company has two operating segments: networking and non-networking products.
The networking segment consists of internetworking semiconductor devices and
related technical service and support to equipment manufacturers for use in
their communications and networking equipment. The non-networking segment
includes user interface products such as custom, modem and other semiconductors.
The Company is supporting these products for existing customers, but has decided
not to develop any further products of this type.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance
based on gross margins from operations of the two segments.

NOTE 14. Subsequent Events
During fiscal 2000, the Company acquired Toucan, AANetcom, and Extreme and QED.
These acquisitions have been accounted for as poolings of interests and are
reflected in these financial statements. Refer to Note 2 for more details.
On June 27, 2000, the Company acquired Malleable Technologies Inc., a privately
held fabless semiconductor company located in the United States. The Company
issued approximately 1,250,000 PMC-Sierra common shares and options in exchange
for the remaining 85% interest of Malleable's outstanding common stock, options
and warrants that the Company did not already own. This transaction will be
accounted for as a purchase.
On July 21, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Datum Telegraphic
Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company located in Canada. The
Company issued approximately 681,000 PMC-Sierra common shares and options and
paid approximately $17 million in cash in exchange for the remaining 92%
interest of Datum's outstanding common stock and options that the Company did
not already own. This transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.
On September 29, 2000, the Company acquired SwitchOn Networks, Inc., a privately
held fabless semiconductor located in the United States. Under the terms of the
agreement, approximately 2,113,000 shares of common stock were issued and stock
options and warrants were assumed to acquire SwitchOn. This transaction will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The pro forma effects of the Malleable, Datum and SwitchOn acquisitions on the
reported financial position and the results of operations are not presented in
