Item 5. Other Events

     On  March  2,  2000,  Cypress  completed  a merger  with  Galvantech,  Inc.
("Galvantech"),  which  was  accounted  for as a  pooling  of  interests.  These
supplementary  consolidated financial statements presented on this Form 8-K give
effect to the merger for all periods presented.  The fiscal years of Cypress and
Galvantech  were  different  and  Galvantech  has changed its fiscal  periods to
coincide with that of Cypress. For the purpose of the consolidated balance sheet
for the  fiscal  years  ended  January 2, 2000 and  January  3, 1999,  Cypress's
consolidated  balance  sheets  as of  January  2,  2000  and  January  3,  1999,
respectively,  have been combined with Galvantech's  consolidated balance sheets
as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, respectively. For the purpose of the
consolidated  statements of  operations,  Cypress's  consolidated  statements of
operations  for the periods ended January 2, 2000,  January 3, 1999 and December
29,  1997,  have been  combined  with  Galvantech's  consolidated  statement  of
operations for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 1999,  March 31, 1999
and March 31, 1998. As a result, the results of operations of Galvantech for the
quarter  ended March 31, 1999 are  included  in the  supplementary  consolidated
statements of operations of both 1998 and 1999.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition

     This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of  1934.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from  those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth
on the inside front cover, in "Factors Affecting Future Results" and elsewhere.

Overview

     Revenues for Cypress Semiconductor  Corporation ("Cypress") increased 26.6%
to $744.8  million in fiscal 1999 from $588.5 million in fiscal 1998. Net income
for fiscal 1999 was $92.0  million  compared  to a net loss of $99.9  million in
fiscal 1998.  The net loss for fiscal 1998  included a  restructuring  charge of
$60.7 million and other non-recurring charges totaling $27.3 million.  Excluding
the restructuring and  non-recurring  charges,  the net loss for fiscal 1998 was
$20.7 million. Cypress earned $0.80 per share, on a diluted basis, during fiscal
1999 compared to a diluted net loss of $0.95 per share in fiscal 1998.

     On January 31, 2000, Cypress filed a universal shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The registration  statement which
was  effective  February  8, 2000 will  allow  Cypress  to market and sell up to
$400.0  million  of its  securities.  The shelf  registration  statement  allows
Cypress flexibility to raise funds from the offering of debt securities,  common
stock,  or a combination  thereof,  subject to market  conditions  and Cypress's
capital needs.

     On   January   19,    2000,    Cypress    completed   a   $283.0    million
registered-placement of 5-year convertible subordinated notes. The notes are due
in the year 2005, with a coupon rate of 4.00% and an initial  conversion premium
of 28.5%.  The notes are convertible  into  approximately  6.1 million shares of
common stock and are callable by Cypress no earlier than  February 5, 2003.  Net
proceeds were $275.2 million, after issuance costs of $7.8 million.

     On October  5,  1999,  Cypress  announced  that it has signed a  definitive
agreement  with  Altera  Corporation  ("Altera")  to acquire  Altera's  MAX 5000
Programmable  Logic  Device  ("PLD")  product  line and its equity  interest  in
Cypress's  wafer  fabrication  facility  in Round  Rock,  Texas  ("Fab  II") for
approximately $13.0 million in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase. In 1988, Altera licensed its MAX 5000 family of products to Cypress in
consideration  of  manufacturing  capacity.  Altera later  acquired a 17% equity
interest in the Round Rock wafer  fabrication  facility.  By acquiring  Altera's
equity  interest  in  October  1999,  Fab II is now 100% owned by  Cypress.

     On June 30, 1999, Cypress acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of
Arcus Technology (USA), Inc. and the assets of Arcus Technology  (India) Limited
(referred  to   collectively  as  "Arcus").   Arcus   specializes  in  new  data
communications  arenas including dense wave multiplexing  (which allows multiple
signals to be  transmitted  over a single fiber optic cable) and "IP over SONET"
(the technology  needed to code and decode Internet  traffic to send it over the
telephone  system).  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for as a purchase and the
estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in
Cypress's  consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, the effective date of
the purchase. The results of operations were included from the date of purchase.
Cypress  acquired Arcus for $17.7  million,  including cash of $11.5 million and
stock of $6.2 million,  excluding direct  acquisition  costs of $0.8 million for
legal and accounting fees.

     On May 25, 1999,  Cypress acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of
Anchor   Chips,   Inc.   ("Anchor"),   a  company   that   designs  and  markets
microcontroller  chips to support the Universal  Serial Bus. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and the estimated fair value of assets  acquired and
liabilities assumed were included in Cypress's consolidated financial statements
as of May  25,  1999,  the  effective  date  of the  purchase.  The  results  of
operations were included from the date of purchase.  Cypress paid  approximately
$15.0 million in cash  excluding  direct  acquisition  costs of $0.7 million for
investment banking, legal and accounting fees.

     On April 1, 1999,  Cypress  completed a merger  with IC WORKS  Incorporated
("ICW"),  which was accounted for as a pooling of  interests.  The  consolidated
financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements give
effect to the merger for all periods presented.  The fiscal years of Cypress and
ICW were different. ICW has changed its fiscal year-end to coincide with that of
Cypress.  Cypress's consolidated  statements of operations for the periods ended
January  3,  1999  and  December  27,  1997,   have  been  combined  with  ICW's
consolidated statements of operations for the corresponding twelve month periods
ended December 28, 1998 and March 28, 1998. During fiscal 1999, Cypress recorded
merger-related  transaction  costs of $3.7 million related to the acquisition of
ICW.  These  charges,  which consist  primarily of investment  banking and other
professional fees, have been included under

acquisition and merger costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Results of Operations

Revenues

     Revenues for fiscal 1999 were $744.8 million, an increase of $156.3 million
or 26.6% versus  revenues for fiscal 1998,  and an increase of $111.9 million or
17.7%  compared to revenues for fiscal 1997.  Cypress  derives its revenues from
the sale of Memory Products and Non-memory  Products,  primarily targeted to the
data communications and computation markets.

     Revenues from the sale of Memory  Products for 1999 increased $79.4 million
or 34.6% over  revenues  from the sale of these  products  for  fiscal  1998 and
increased  $48.0 million,  or 18.4% compared to fiscal 1997. From fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 1999,  sales of Static Random Access Memory products  ("SRAM") grew $80.6
million or 36.7%. Revenues from SRAMs during fiscal 1999 increased $57.2 million
or 23.6% compared to fiscal 1997. The increase in Memory  Product  revenues,  as
compared to fiscal  1998,  resulted  from both  higher  average  selling  prices
("ASPs")  and an  increase  in unit  sales.  ASPs grew 16.7% from fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 1999 and unit sa1es increased 17.9% over the same period. The increase in
unit  sales  in  fiscal  1999  can  be  attributed  to  new  product   revenues,
particularly in the 4meg  synchronous,  the No Bus Latency  ("NoBL"),  the 2 meg
More Battery Life ("MoBL") and the 1 meg x16 micropower family of products.  The
synchronous  and NoBL demand was driven by the surge in the  networking  market,
while sales for MoBL and  micropower  were driven by the cellular  phone market.
Unit sales volume of Memory Products  increased  16.2% comparing  fiscal 1999 to
fiscal 1997, while ASPs remained relatively constant.

     Non-memory Products include programmable logic products, data communication
devices, computer products and non-volatile memory products. Non-memory products
also include foundry  revenues.  Foundry revenue  represents  sales of wafers to
customers. Revenues from the sale of Non-memory Products increased $76.8 million
or 21.4%  comparing  fiscal  1999 to  fiscal  1998 and $63.9  million,  or 17.2%
compared to fiscal 1997. The increase in revenues related  primarily to the sale
of computer  products,  which include  programmable clock products and universal
serial bus ("USB") products, and from the sale of data communication devices.

     In fiscal 1999, revenues from the sale of computer products increased $54.7
million, or 36.9% and $86.5 million, or 74.2%, respectively,  compared to fiscal
1998 and fiscal 1997,  respectively.  The revenue growth in programmable  clocks
can  be  attributed  to  higher  unit  sales,  primarily  as  a  result  of  the
introduction of the BX clock chip in 1999 and greater  acceptance of other clock
products.  Also in fiscal 1999, revenues for USB products grew, in comparison to
fiscal 1998 and 1997,  primarily as a result of an increase in the adoption rate
of USB  products in the market  place,  particularly  in the  personal  computer
market.  USB  revenues in fiscal 1999 also  benefited  from the  acquisition  of
Anchor in May 1999. ASPs remained  relatively  stable  comparing  fiscal 1999 to
fiscal 1998.

     Revenues  generated from the sale of data  communication  devices in fiscal
1999,  increased  $22.7  million  or 18.3%  compared  to  fiscal  1998 and $20.0
million, or 15.8% compared to fiscal 1997. The revenue growth in fiscal 1999 was
the result of higher unit sales as units sold in fiscal 1999 increased 20.0% and
18.9%   compared   to  fiscal   1998  and  fiscal   1997,   respectively.   Data
communication's  revenue  growth  can be  attributed  to their  ability to align
themselves  with several key customers in the Storage Area  Network,  Local Area
Network and Wide Area Network markets.  Contributions  were primarily from the 1
Megabit Dual Port Ram,  HotLink  Transceivers  and  RoboClock  Skew Clock Buffer
family of  products.  The  increase  in unit sales more than  offset the minimal
decline in ASPs, comparing the same periods.

     Revenues from the sale of programmable  logic products in fiscal year 1999,
increased  $3.3  million or 7.9%  compared to fiscal 1998,  however,  decreasing
$14.7  million  or 24.8%  compared  to fiscal  1997.  In fiscal  1999,  revenues
increased,  compared to fiscal 1998,  due to the ramp up of sales in the 37K and
FLASH  family of  products.  The revenue  growth in the 37K and FLASH  family of
products more than offset  declining  sales in the more mature MAX and Small PLD
family of products.  Non-volatile  memory product revenues  remained  relatively
constant in fiscal 1999  decreasing  $0.8 million  compared to fiscal  1998.  In
1997,  Cypress  decided to cease selling  certain  non-volatile  memory devices,
Erasable  Programmable  Read-only  Memory  ("EPROM").  As a result,  the sale of
non-volatile  memory products  decreased $13.1 million or 31.7% from fiscal 1999
to fiscal 1997.

     As is typical in the  semiconductor  industry,  ASPs of products  generally
decline over the lifetime of the products.  To increase revenues,  Cypress seeks
to expand its market share in the markets it  currently  serves and to introduce
and sell new products with higher ASPs.  Cypress will seek to remain competitive
with respect to its pricing to prevent a further decline in sales.


Cost of Revenues

                                     Page 6

<PAGE>


     Cost of revenues for fiscal 1999 were 54.9% of revenues,  compared to 73.0%
of revenues  for fiscal  1998 and 67.1% of  revenues  during  fiscal  1997.  The
decrease in cost of revenues as a percent of  revenues  was  primarily  due to a
significant increase in unit sales,  resulting in lower fixed cost per unit sold
and the introduction of new products with higher margins. In order to offset the
decrease in ASPs,  Cypress  must  continue  to find ways to lower  manufacturing
costs  and  introduce  new  products  with  higher  margins  in order to  remain
competitive in the marketplace.

     Cost of revenues for fiscal 1998 included  one-time  non-recurring  charges
totaling $21.7  million.  These charges  included  $15.8 million  related to the
write-down of inventory,  $3.8 million for the write-off of pre-operating  costs
and $2.1  million for the  write-off  of certain  equipment.  The $15.8  million
charge  for  incremental  inventory  reserves  arose  due to  market  conditions
resulting in the ongoing,  over-supply  and continued  inventory  corrections by
end-user customers.

     The  write-off of  pre-operating  costs  included  $2.9 million  related to
Cypress's wafer fabrication operation in Bloomington, Minnesota and $0.9 million
related to its assembly and test operations in the  Philippines.  As a result of
the  restructuring  activities,  Cypress  wrote off its  previously  capitalized
pre-operating costs as an impaired asset due to uncertainties  surrounding their
future economic benefits.  The pre-operating costs totaling $3.8 million, net of
accumulated amortization were included in other assets at December 29, 1997.

     The write-off of equipment was related to equipment  identified as obsolete
during Cypress's  periodic review of equipment and no longer considered  usable.
Excluding these one-time non-recurring charges, cost of revenues as a percent of
revenues for fiscal 1998 would have been 69.8%.

     Cypress  continues  to  introduce  new products and new methods of reducing
manufacturing  costs in order to mitigate the effects of  declining  ASPs on its
gross margin. In March 1998, Cypress announced restructuring  activities for its
domestic  wafer  fabrication  facilities  and  offshore  back-end  manufacturing
operations.  Activities completed to date have increased Cypress's manufacturing
efficiencies  and as a result,  its gross margin has been  increasing  since the
first   quarter  of  fiscal  1998.   Cypress   expects  to  benefit  from  these
restructuring activities in the future.

Research and Development

     Research and development  ("R&D")  expenditures for fiscal 1999 were $135.3
million or 18.2% of revenues,  compared with $116.4 million or 19.8% of revenues
for fiscal 1998 and $105.5  million or 16.7% of revenues  for fiscal  1997.  R&D
expenditures  in fiscal 1999 increased $18.9 million or 16.2% compared to fiscal
1998 and $29.8  million  or 28.2%  compared  to fiscal  1997.  R&D  expenditures
increased from fiscal 1997 through  fiscal 1999 as Cypress  continued its effort
to  accelerate  the  development  of new products  and migrate to more  advanced
process technologies.  In 1999, spending in Cypress's design centers grew due to
increased  headcount and additional  spending from design centers  acquired with
the purchase of Arcus and Anchor.  During 1998, Cypress began utilizing the 0.25
micron  process  technology for  manufacturing  purposes,  and in 1999,  started
development  of 0.16 micron  process  technologies.  Cypress  believes  that its
future  success will depend on its ability to develop and introduce new products
that will compete  effectively on the basis of price and  performance,  and will
address  customer  needs.  In fiscal  2000,  Cypress is expecting to continue to
increase spending in R&D in order to improve its design and process technologies
in an effort to increase  revenues and reduce costs. As part of this effort,  in
fiscal 2000, Cypress expects to complete the conversation its San Jose R&D wafer
fab from a  six-inch  facility  into an  eight-inch  facility.  This  will  make
Cypress's R&D fab more compatible with its  technologically  advanced wafer fabs
in Minnesota. This conversion is expected to be completed in June 2000.

Selling, General and Administrative

     Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for fiscal 1999 were
$111.4  million  or 15.0% of  revenues,  compared  to $95.6  million or 16.2% of
revenues for fiscal 1998 and $85.0 million or 13.4% of revenues for fiscal 1997.
SG&A expenses for fiscal 1999 increased by $15.8 million or 16.5% as compared to
fiscal 1998 and by $26.4  million or 31.0% when  compared to fiscal  1997.  SG&A
spending  increased  from  fiscal  1997 to fiscal  1998 and from  fiscal 1998 to
fiscal  1999,  principally  because of higher sales and  marketing  expenditures
related to salesmen and rep commissions,  a new sales force training program and
higher  marketing  communication  expenditures.  In fiscal  1999,  Cypress  also
incurred higher legal costs, primarily associated with its successful defense of
the EMI patent  infringement  lawsuit.  With the exception of variable spending,
such as incentive bonuses,  salary adjustments and commissions,  Cypress expects
to keep SG&A  spending  as a percent of revenues  relatively  constant in fiscal
2000.

1999 Restructuring, Merger and Acquisition, and Other Non-Recurring Costs

     During fiscal 1999,  Cypress recorded a net $33.8 million in restructuring,
merger  and  acquisition,   and  other  non-recurring   costs.  These  one-time,
non-recurring   costs   included  a  $12.3   million   write-off  of  a  certain
manufacturing  asset that will not be  utilized  and an $11.9  million  one-time
compensation  charge.  In the first  quarter of fiscal  1999,  Cypress  recorded
one-time charges of $3.7 million associated with the merger with IC Works. These
charges were for investment  banking fees and other  professional  fees. Cypress
also recorded $8.8 million in costs  associated  with the purchase of Anchor and
Arcus  comprising of $4.0 million for  in-process  technology,  $1.6 million for
transaction costs and $3.2 million in amortization of intangible assets.  During
the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  1999,   Cypress  acquired  Altera's  MAX  5000
Programmable  Logic  Device  ("PLD")  product  line and its equity  interest  in
Cypress's  wafer  fabrication  facility  in Round  Rock,  Texas.  As part of the
transaction,  Cypress  recorded  intangible  assets  associated with the product
rights and incurred  $0.3  million for the  amortization  of these  intangibles.
These  non-recurring  charges  were offset by a reversal of $3.1  million of the
1998  restructuring  reserve.  The reversed  charges  related to $2.2 million of
severance and other employee  related charges and $0.3 million for the provision
for phase-down and completion of the Alphatec restructuring activities.  Cypress
also  reversed  $0.5 million of the 1998  restructuring  reserve for other fixed
asset related charges that were no longer  considered  necessary.  During fiscal
1999, Cypress reversed $0.7 million of the 1996 restructuring reserve related to
fixed asset de-installation charges that were no longer required.

1998 Restructuring and Other Non-Recurring Costs

     During  1998,  Cypress  implemented  an  overall  cost  reduction  plan and
recorded a $58.9 million restructuring reserve. The restructuring entailed:

     o    The  shutdown  of  Fab  3,  located  in  Bloomington,   Minnesota  and
          consolidation  of parts of Fab 3 operations  with other  operations of
          Cypress.

     o    The  discontinuance  of the 0.6 micron 256k SRAM  production  in Fab 2
          located in Texas.

     o    The conversion of an existing  research and development fab located in
          San Jose (Fab 1) to  eight-inch  capability  in order to be compatible
          with the state of the art eight-inch Minnesota manufacturing facility.

     o    The  transfer of Cypress's  test  operations  from its  subcontractor,
          Alphatec,   in  Thailand  to  Cypress's  production  facility  in  the
          Philippines.

     o    The restructuring  activities  described above include the termination
          of approximately  850 manufacturing  employees  primarily from Cypress
          and Alphatec.

     FAB 3 -- The charge related to the shutdown of Fab 3 was $30.2 million.  Of
this amount, $26.0 million related to the write-down of equipment held for sale,
$1.7 million of other fixed asset related  charges for  incremental  third party
costs  expected to be incurred in the eventual  physical  removal of the written
down assets,  $1.1 million related to severance and other employee related costs
and $1.4 million related to inventory.

     Fab 3 assets, which were not upgradable to 8-inch capability,  were written
down based on the estimated  useful lives of the assets and the salvage value of
the assets.  The estimated useful lives were generally two months as a result of
the  decision  to  discontinue  production  in Fab 3 and the  salvage  value was
determined based on the estimated sales value of used  semiconductor  equipment.
Non-upgradable  Fab 3 assets were depreciated down to their salvage value during
the production  phase-down period. Fab 3 assets, which were upgradable to 8-inch
capability,  were  transferred  to Fab 4 production  during the third quarter of
1998.

     In accordance with the restructuring plan, Fab 3 production was phased down
beginning in the second quarter of 1998 and ceased in July 1998. From this time,
Cypress has held the  non-upgradable  equipment for sale. As of January 2, 2000,
some of the equipment  still has not been sold.  Cypress  expects to recover the
originally  determined salvage value for such equipment,  however,  no assurance
can be given as to the amount of proceeds that will ultimately be collected.

     FAB 2 --  The  decision  to  discontinue  manufacturing  SRAM  products  on
Cypress's 0.6 micron 256K SRAM process in Texas resulted in excess equipment and
employee redundancy.  Charges with this decision totaled $21.3 million, of which
$18.0 million  related to the write-down of equipment,  $0.3 million  related to
the write-down of inventory, $1.7 million related to severance and


                                     Page 8

<PAGE>


other  employee  related  costs and $1.3  million of other fixed  asset  related
charges  for  incremental  third  party  costs for the  physical  removal of the
written down assets and the resolution of certain related tax matters.

     Excess equipment in Fab 2 was written down based on the useful lives of the
assets and the estimated  salvage  value of the assets.  Cypress had the ability
and intention to sell all the equipment immediately but due to the semiconductor
industry slow-down,  Cypress recognized immediate sale of the equipment would be
difficult.  The  equipment  was kept in the fab,  ready  for  demonstration  and
testing by a willing  buyer.  Cypress used the equipment  during the  production
phase-down period through May 1998.

     As of January  2, 2000,  some of this  equipment  remains on hand.  Cypress
expects to recover the originally  determined  salvage value for such equipment,
however,  no  assurance  can be given as to the  amount  of  proceeds  that will
ultimately be collected.

     FAB 1 and San  Jose  Operations  -- The  restructuring  plan  included  the
upgrade  of  Fab  1 to an  eight-inch  facility  to  ensure  compatibility  with
Cypress's Fab 4 manufacturing facility in Minnesota.  Fab 1 is used for research
and development  purposes.  The plan assumed commencement of Fab 1 restructuring
activities during the middle of 1998 with completion by the end of January 1999.
The  plan  included  the  disposal  and  write-down  of  six-inch  manufacturing
equipment  that was not upgradable to eight-inch  capability.  The remaining net
book value of such assets was written off over the estimated useful life through
January 1999.  Incremental  depreciation  charges, to reflect the revised useful
lives of this  equipment,  were included in research and  development  costs for
1998 and January 1999.  Cypress also  reserved  $1.0 million to  write-down  the
value of certain other  equipment and reserved $1.3 million related to severance
and other employee related costs. In fiscal 2000, Cypress expects to convert its
San Jose R&D wafer fab from a six-inch  facility  into an  eight-inch  facility.
This  will  make  Cypress's  R&D fab more  compatible  with its  technologically
advanced wafer fabs in Minnesota. This conversion is expected to be completed in
June 2000.

     ALPHATEC -- Cypress reserved $5.1 million to provide for the  consolidation
of  Thailand  test  activities  from  Alphatec,  Cypress's  subcontractor,  with
Cypress's  Philippines  facility. Of this $5.1 million reserve, $1.5 million was
related to production  inventories  which were no longer  useable as a result of
this  consolidation,  $1.3  million  was  related  to  severance  costs  at  the
subcontractor  and $2.3 million was related to excess  equipment  and  leasehold
improvements which were no longer used. The assets were considered held for sale
and  were  written  down to  their  revised  carrying  value.  The  transfer  of
production  from Alphatec to the  Philippines  facility  began during the second
quarter  of 1998 and was  completed  in  January  1999,  one  month  later  than
originally planned.

     OTHER --  Separate  from the  restructuring  charge,  Cypress  recorded  an
additional  charge of $27.3 million,  which was recorded as operating  expenses.
The charges  were for  inventory  reserves  ($15.8  million),  the  write-off of
pre-operating costs ($3.8 million),  the write-off of an equity investment ($3.1
million),  costs  incurred to reimburse a customer  for  expenses  incurred as a
consequence of Cypress's  defective products ($2.5 million) and the write-off of
obsolete equipment in Fab 4 ($2.1 million). The write-down of inventory was made
to establish  incremental reserves for excess inventory and was recorded as cost
of revenues.

     The  write-off of  pre-operating  costs  included  $2.9 million  related to
Cypress's wafer fabrication operation in Bloomington, Minnesota and $0.9 million
related to its assembly and test  operation in the  Philippines.  As a result of
restructuring   activities,   Cypress  wrote  off  its  previously   capitalized
pre-operating costs as an impaired asset due to uncertainties  surrounding their
future  economic  benefits and accordingly the costs were written off to cost of
sales.  There were no capitalized  pre-operating  costs  subsequent to the first
quarter of 1998.

     The $3.1 million  write-off  of the  investment  was  recorded  against net
interest  and other  income to  reflect  the  decline  in the value of a certain
investment.  Selling, general and administrative costs included the write-off of
$2.5  million in costs  incurred  to  reimburse a customer  for certain  product
expenses incurred. During Cypress's periodic review of equipment, some equipment
was  identified  as  obsolete  and $2.1  million was charged to cost of sales to
write-off the obsolete equipment.

1997 Restructuring Costs - Cypress (ICW)

     In  fiscal  1997,  Maxim  Integrated  Products,  Inc.  ("Maxim")  agreed to
purchase wafer fabrication  assets from Cypress and its Fab Partners to purchase
certain  equipment from Cypress lessors thereby relieving Cypress of significant
future equipment lease obligations. Maxim also acquired the property that housed
the fab from Samsung  Semiconductor,  Inc. as part of the same transaction.  The
remaining  assets to be disposed at the end of fiscal year 1997 were  liquidated
between  April 1998 and June 1998  (including  at an  equipment  auction in June
1998). Due to the lack of any meaningful sale of assets at the June auction, the
actual liquidation of substantially all of the remaining assets was completed in
November 1998. In May 1998,  Maxim purchased  approximately  $0.5 million of the
assets to be disposed of in another  asset sale  transaction  separate  from the
November 1997 transaction.


                                     Page 9

<PAGE>


     Cypress entered into the following material  agreements related to the sale
of its fab assets to Maxim in November 1997:

1.   Asset purchase agreements -- related to the purchase of assets from each of
     the respective owners of assets. (Fab Partners,  lessors, and Cypress.) The
     loss incurred by the Company as a result of these  agreements  are included
     as  part  of  the  restructuring   costs  in  the  accompanying   financial
     statements.

2.   Loan  agreement  --  related to a loan by Maxim to Cypress in the amount of
     $2.0  million.  Recorded  as long term debt in March 1998 and is payable at
     the earlier of an IPO, change in control, or four years.

3.   Foundry  agreement  -- related to  Cypress  agreement  for Maxim to provide
     BiCMOS foundry services to Cypress . This agreement  terminated in December
     1998. No effect on financials.

4.   Operating  agreement  -- related to sharing of the fab between  Cypress and
     Maxim for a period of up to seven  months from close  (actual  duration was
     four months). Specifics of the agreements include how costs are shared, who
     has control and when the fab transfers  sequentially from Cypress to Maxim,
     the basis for one party billing the other for its manufacturing  activities
     within the fab during the period of sharing the fab, and an agreement  with
     Maxim that they will hire substantially all the wafer fab-related employees
     based on a prescribed  schedule.  The operating agreement was substantially
     completed in March 1998.

     Cypress and Maxim also entered into an operating  agreement  that  outlined
the  utilization  of and  cost-sharing  for the  facility  during the  six-month
transition period following the sale of the fab assets to Maxim.

     While Maxim had  acquired  most of Cypress  owned and leased fab assets and
certain  related assets,  Cypress still owned or leased other wafer  fabrication
assets that were not purchased by Maxim. As such, in connection with the exit of
the  wafer  fabrication  business,  Cypress  recorded  a  restructure  charge of
approximately  $9.9 million  related to impairment of assets sold to Maxim ($2.2
million),  impairment  of assets held for sale ($1.8  million),  refinancing  of
lease agreements ($3.6 million),  employee  severance ($0.2 million),  and other
transaction  costs ($2.2  million).  These  agreements  with Maxim resulted in a
reduction of headcount of approximately 113 foundry employees (most of whom were
hired by Maxim).  The total  expected  cash  outlay  related to this  charge was
approximately  $6.7 million at December 29, 1997,  of which the  remaining  $4.1
million was paid in 1999.

     In November  1997,  Cypress  also  borrowed  $2.0  million  from Maxim with
interest accruing at 6% per annum. The note and interest are to be repaid at the
earlier of: a majority sale of Cypress, the consummation of a public offering of
Cypress common stock,  or four years from the date of the note (November  2001).
In addition,  Cypress  entered into a wafer  purchase  agreement with Maxim that
allows Cypress to buy BiCMOS wafers from Maxim for a period of up to two years.

     On the closing date of the transaction,  November 20, 1997, Maxim purchased
Cypress six-inch wafer  fabrication  leasehold  improvements  and  manufacturing
equipment as well as certain five-inch wafer fabrication  equipment that Cypress
owned or acquired  through capital  leases.  The carrying values of the six-inch
and  five-inch   fabrication  assets  were  $14.25  million  and  $0.4  million,
respectively.  Proceeds of the sale of these assets to Maxim were $12.5  million
to Cypress.  Substantially  all the assets  held at December  29, 1997 were sold
prior to January 3, 1999.

Interest Expense

     Interest  expense  was $9.6  million  for fiscal  1999,  compared  to $11.3
million  for fiscal  1998 and $8.5  million for fiscal  1997.  Interest  expense
incurred during fiscal 1999 is primarily  associated  with the 6.0%  Convertible
Subordinated  Notes , which were issued in  September  1997 and are due in 2002.
The decrease in fiscal 1999 is primarily attributable to the retirement of $15.0
million of these Notes towards the end of 1998.  Interest incurred during fiscal
1997 also included expenses from the convertible bond redeemed in March 1997 and
a revolving line of credit.

Interest and Other Income, Net

     Net interest and other income was $53.2 million for fiscal 1999 compared to
$14.1  million for fiscal 1998 and $13.4  million for fiscal 1997.  Net interest
and other income for fiscal 1999  included a $36.2 million gain from the sale of
a certain  investment  and $18.0 million of interest  income.  Offsetting  other
income was $1.0 million  related to the  amortization of bond issuance costs. In
fiscal 1998,  net interest and other income  included  interest  income of $16.0
million, a $1.7 million pre-tax net gain related to the retirement


                                    Page 10

<PAGE>


of $15.0 million of Cypress's 6.0%  Convertible  Subordinated  Notes and foreign
exchange gains of $0.5 million. The 1998 net interest and other income is offset
by a  non-recurring,  pre-tax  charge of $3.1  million  recorded  to reflect the
decline in value of a certain  investment  and $1.0 million in  amortization  of
bond  issuance  costs.  Net  interest  and other  income for fiscal 1997 relates
primarily to interest  income of $10.5  million and a $3.8 million gain from the
sale of a certain investment.

Taxes

     Cypress's  effective  tax rates for fiscal  years 1999,  1998 and 1997 were
7.1%, 10.0% and 65.4%, respectively. A tax benefit of $11.1 million was realized
during fiscal 1998 compared to expenses of $7.0 million and $6.1 million  during
fiscal  1999  and  fiscal  1997,  respectively.  The  benefit  was  attributable
primarily to the utilization of loss carrybacks, the utilization of research and
development tax credits and non-U.S. income taxed at lower tax rates compared to
U.S. tax rates, principally related to Cypress's operations in the Philippines.

     During  1998,  the  United  States   Internal   Revenue  Service  began  an
examination of tax returns for fiscal years 1994 through 1996.  The  examination
is expected to continue through May 2000.  Management  believes that the outcome
of the  examination  will not have a material  effect on Cypress's  consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

Earnings Before Goodwill

     Cypress  reported basic earnings before  goodwill  ("EBG") and diluted EBG.
EBG refers to earnings  excluding pretax  acquisition and restructuring  related
charges and credits,  in-process  research and  development  costs,  transaction
costs and  amortization  of  intangible  assets,  net of tax.  These charges and
credits are excluded from the computation of EBG and are  collectively  referred
to as goodwill by Cypress.  Cypress  presented EBG as a measure of our operating
results,  however, EBG is not intended to replace operating income or net income
as an indicator of operating  performance or to replace cashflow as a measure of
liquidity  because  EBG is not a concept  under  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Also,  our  calculation  of EBG  may  not be  comparable  to EBG as
calculated by other companies.  The table below reconciles basic and diluted net
income (loss) per share to basic and diluted earnings (loss) before goodwill per
share, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

     Cypress  accounts for stock-based  compensation  arrangements in accordance
with provision of APB No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"  ("APB
25") and  discloses  pro forma  information  regarding  net  income  (loss)  and
earnings  (loss) per share as allowed by Statement of  Accounting  Standards No.
123 (SFAS  123).  Under APB 25,  compensation  cost is  recognized  based on the
difference, if any, between the fair market price of Cypress's stock on the date
of grant and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  As permitted
by SFAS 123,  Cypress  discloses  pro-forma  net income (loss) and pro-forma net
income (loss) per share as if it had recorded  compensation  cost. The pro-forma
effect on net  income  (loss)  and net  income  (loss) per share is based on the
estimated grant date fair value, as defined by SFAS 123 for awards granted under
the Cypress's  1994 and 1999 Stock Option Plans and its Employee  Stock Purchase
Plan.  Inclusive of the pro-forma effect, basic and diluted net income was $59.7
million for fiscal  1999 and basic and  diluted net loss was $130.9  million and
$21.9 million for fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively. Pro-forma basic



                                     Page 11

<PAGE>


net  income per share was $0.55 and  diluted  net income per share was $0.54 for
fiscal  1999.  Pro-forma  basic and  diluted  net loss per share was ($1.25) and
($0.21) for fiscal years 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The pro-forma effect may
be impacted by various factors including re-pricing of existing options.

     In January  1998,  substantially  all  outstanding  stock  options  with an
exercise price in excess of $9.75 per share were cancelled and replaced with new
options  having an exercise  price of $9.75 per share,  the fair market value on
the date that the employees accepted the repricing. A total of 10,464,000 shares
were  repriced.  This  repricing  excluded  the  Board of  Directors,  the Chief
Executive Officer and the Executive staff of Cypress.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cypress's cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments totaled $280.6
million at the end of fiscal year 1999, a $106.4  million  increase from the end
of 1998.

     On January 31, 2000, Cypress filed a universal shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC). The registration  statement,
which was effective  February 8, 2000,  will allow Cypress to market and sell up
to $400.0 million of its securities. The shelf registration statement will allow
Cypress flexibility to raise funds from the offering of debt securities,  common
stock,  or a combination  thereof,  subject to market  conditions  and Cypress's
capital needs.

     During fiscal 1999, Cypress filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Under this shelf registration,  Cypress
could  through March 2001 sell any  combination  of debt  securities,  preferred
stock and common  stock in one or more  offerings up to a total amount of $300.0
million dollars.  The full amount of this shelf registration  statement has been
used by the  transactions  described  in this  paragraph.  On January 19,  2000,
Cypress completed a $283.0 million  registered-placement  of 5-year  convertible
subordinated  notes.  The notes are due in the year 2005,  with a coupon rate of
4.00% and an initial conversion premium of 28.5%. The notes are convertible into
approximately  6.1 million shares of common stock and are callable by Cypress no
earlier than February 5, 2003. Net proceeds were $275.2 million,  after issuance
costs of $7.8 million.  Pursuant to the shelf  registration,  on March 29, 1999,
Cypress sold 7.2 million shares of common stock. Cypress received  approximately
$33.8 million in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the sale of these shares.
The remaining 2.5 million shares were sold by selling stockholders.  Cypress did
not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders.

     During 1999, Cypress purchased $114.2 million in capital equipment, a $30.7
million  increase from the $83.5 million  purchased in 1998, and a $31.9 million
decrease from the $146.1 million purchased in 1997. Cypress purchased  equipment
for its domestic wafer fabrication plants, its test and assembly facility in the
Philippines,  its  backend  manufacturing  subcontractors  and  its  design  and
technology groups. Equipment purchased for its fabs is expected to improve wafer
manufacturing  capacity and capabilities as Cypress implements new technologies,
including  its 0.16 and 0.25  micron  processes.  A  majority  of the  equipment
purchased  was for Fab 4a located in  Minnesota  to increase  its  capacity  and
capability.  Equipment  purchased for the Philippines and its subcontractors was
used to increase manufacturing capacity and tool certain packaging capabilities.
Capital equipment purchases for the technology group are expected to enhance and
accelerate research and development  capabilities.  Capital expenditures in 2000
are expected to be  significantly  higher compared to 1999 as Cypress  continues
its efforts to increase  its wafer  manufacturing  capabilities  and capacity by
purchasing  more  equipment  for Fab 4a and by  constructing  Fab 4b and Fab 4c,
located  on the  same  site as Fab 4a in  Minnesota.  Cypress  also  expects  to
continue upgrading its research and development fab in San Jose from six-inch to
eight-inch to ensure compatibility with Cypress's wafer manufacturing facilities
in Minnesota.  The conversion is expected to be completed by June 2000.  Cypress
will also  continue  to  purchase  new  software  and  equipment  to enhance its
research  and  development  capabilities.  In fiscal  2000,  Cypress  expects to
purchase approximately $250.0 million in capital equipment.

     In March 1999,  Cypress announced a program whereby all U.S. employees were
offered  loans to  facilitate  the exercise of vested stock  options.  Under the
terms of the  program,  only  options  which were vested as of March 1, 1999 and
whose  exercise  price was less than or equal to $9.75 could qualify for a loan.
The loans,  including  interest,  are due at the earlier of three days following
the sale of the shares,  within thirty days of the date the individual ceases to
be an employee of Cypress or 3 years from the grant date of the loan.  The loans
bear interest at a rate of 4.71% and are secured by Cypress  common  shares.  At
January 2, 2000, amounts receivable under this program totaled $8.2 million.


                                    Page 12

<PAGE>


     In 1998,  Cypress retired a total of $15.0 million  principal of its $175.0
million, 6.0% convertible  subordinated notes for $12.9 million,  resulting in a
pre-tax net gain of $1.7  million.  The net gain was  recorded  as interest  and
other income. The notes, which were issued in September 1997, are due October 1,
2002 and  contain a coupon rate of 6.0%.  The  remaining  outstanding  notes are
convertible into approximately 6,772,000 shares of common stock and are callable
by Cypress on or after October 2, 2000. A portion of the proceeds from the notes
were used to repay the $49.0  million  balance  outstanding  under the revolving
credit  facility,  acquire  equipment,   purchase  a  building  in  Woodinville,
Washington and for stock  repurchases in 1997. The remaining  proceeds have been
invested in interest-bearing  investment grade securities and have been used for
general corporate purposes,  including capital expenditures to add manufacturing
capacity and capability,  development and commercialization of products, working
capital and strategic acquisitions or investments.

     During  fiscal  1997,  Cypress  entered  into an  agreement  to borrow $2.0
million from a third party with  interest  accruing at 6.0% per annum.  The loan
was repaid in April 1999. Also during 1997,  Cypress issued  promissory notes to
three  significant  customers for $2.0  million,  $1.4 million and $0.3 million,
bearing interest at 6.0%, 10.0% and 7.5%,  respectively and due in October 2000,
August 2000 and July 1999, respectively.  As of January 2, 2000, a total of $0.7
million was payable under the notes.

     In fiscal  years  1997 and  1998,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  the
repurchase  of up to 14.0 million  shares of  Cypress's  common  stock.  Through
January 3, 1999,  8.1  million  shares had been  repurchased  under this  entire
program  for $67.5  million.  On  February  25,  1999,  the  Board of  Directors
terminated the stock repurchase program.  The unsold repurchased shares were and
are expected to continue to be used for option  exercises  under  Cypress's 1994
Stock Option Plan and stock  purchases  under the Employee  Stock Purchase Plan.
During  1998,  Cypress  reissued  1.8 million  shares of common stock under such
plans.  During fiscal 1999,  Cypress  reissued a total of 8.3 million  shares in
relation to the stock offering  described above and in conjunction with the 1994
Stock Option Plan and Employee  Purchase Plan. Such shares had been  repurchased
under the 1997/1998 plan and repurchase programs prior to 1997.

     In  February  1997,  Cypress  called  for  redemption  of all of the  3.15%
Convertible  Subordinated Notes which was effective as of March 26, 1997. At the
time of conversion,  approximately  85% of the holders  elected to convert their
notes  into  Cypress's  common  stock,  increasing  the  amount of common  stock
outstanding  by 6.8 million  shares.  As a result of holders  electing  the cash
settlement, Cypress paid out $14.3 million.

     In April 1997,  Cypress sold  capital  equipment  located in its  Minnesota
wafer   fabrication   facility  to  Fleet   Capital   Leasing   ("Fleet")  in  a
sale-leaseback  agreement.  In  October  1997,  Cypress  entered  into a similar
agreement with Comdisco,  Inc.  ("Comdisco") for other capital equipment located
in Minnesota.  Cypress received a total of $28.2 million from Fleet and Comdisco
in  exchange  for the  capital  equipment  and as a result of the  transactions,
recorded an immaterial gain that will be amortized over the life of the leases.

     In 1994 and 1995,  Cypress entered into three  operating  lease  agreements
with  respect  to its  office  and  manufacturing  facilities  in San  Jose  and
Minnesota.  In 1999,  the lease  related to the San Jose office and research and
development  facilities  expired. In October 1999, Cypress re-entered into a new
operating lease agreement with the same leasor for the same facilities. In April
1996,  Cypress  entered  into an  additional  lease  agreement  for  two  office
facilities  in San Jose.  These  agreements  require  that  Cypress  maintain  a
specific  level of restricted  cash or  investments  to serve as collateral  for
these leases and maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. Cypress's
restricted  investment  balance as of  January  2, 2000 and  January 3, 1999 was
$61.2 million and $59.7 million,  respectively,  and is recorded as other assets
on the Balance Sheet. Cypress was in compliance with its covenants at January 2,
2000.

     In  1997,  Cypress  established  a  revolving  line of  credit  with a bank
totaling up to $6.5 million. Cypress cancelled this line of credit in June 1999.
In  July  1996,  Cypress  established  a  three-year  $100.0  million  unsecured
revolving  credit  facility  with Bank of  America  National  Trust and  Savings
Association as agent on behalf of certain banks.  During 1998, Cypress cancelled
this line of credit.


     Cypress  believes  that existing  cash and cash  equivalents  and cash from
operations  will be sufficient to meet present and  anticipated  working capital
requirements  and other cash needs for at least the next twelve  months.  Beyond
twelve  months,  changes in market  demand  and the  possible  need to  increase
manufacturing  capacity and  capability,  may cause Cypress to raise  additional
capital through debt or equity financing.  Although additional  financing may be
required,  there can be no  assurance  that it would be  available to Cypress or
available at terms Cypress deems satisfactory.

Factors Affecting Future Results

Risk Factors

     Except for the historical  information  contained herein, the discussion in
this 8-K  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning of
Section  27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  including,  but not
limited to,  statements as to the future operating results and business plans of
Cypress,   that  involve  risks  and   uncertainties.   We  use  such  words  as
"anticipated,"   "believes,"   "expects,"   "future,"   "intends,"  and  similar
expressions  to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Our actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for
any reason,  including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Form 8-K.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,  financial condition
and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

     The risks and  uncertainties  described below are not the only ones Cypress
faces.  Additional risks and  uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial also may impair Cypress's business operations.  If any
of the following  risks actually  occur,  our business  financial  condition and
operating results could be materially  adversely affected,  the trading price of
our  common  stock  could  decline  and  you  might  lose  all or  part  of your
investment.

Following is a summary of the risk factors:

o    Cypress's  future  operating  results  are very  likely  to  fluctuate  and
     therefore may fail to meet expectations.

o    Cypress faces periods of industry-wide  semiconductor over-supply which may
     harm its results.

o    Cypress's  financial  results  could be seriously  harmed if the markets in
     which it sells its products do not grow.

o    Cypress is  affected  by a general  pattern of product  price  decline  and
     fluctuations, which can adversely impact its business.

o    Cypress  may be unable to  adequately  protect  its  intellectual  property
     rights,  and may face  significant  expenses  as a result  of  ongoing,  or
     future, litigation.

o    Cypress's  financial  results  could  be  seriously  harmed  if it fails to
     develop,  introduce and sell new products or fails to develop and implement
     new manufacturing technologies.

o    Interruptions  in the  availability  of raw materials  can  seriously  harm
     Cypress's financial performance.

o    Problems in the  performance  of other  companies  Cypress hires to perform
     certain  manufacturing  tasks  can  seriously  impact  Cypress's  financial
     performance.

o    The complex  nature of Cypress's manufacturing activities makes the company
     highly  susceptible to  manufacturing  problems and these problems can have
     substantial negative impact when they occur.

o    Cypress may not be able to use all of its existing or future  manufacturing
     capacity, which can negatively impact its business.

o    Cypress's  operations  and financial  results  could be severely  harmed by
     certain natural disasters.

o    Cypress's  business,  results of operations and financial condition will be
     seriously harmed if it fails to compete in its highly competitive  industry
     and markets.

o    Cypress must build  semiconductors based on its forecasts of demand, and if
     its  forecasts  are  inaccurate,  Cypress may have large  amounts of unsold
     product or the company may not be able to fill all orders.

o    Cypress must spend  heavily on equipment to stay  competitive,  and will be
     adversely   impacted  if  it  is  unable  to  secure   financing  for  such
     investments.

o    Cypress  competes with others to attract and retain key personnel,  and any
     loss of, or inability to attract such personnel would hurt Cypress.

o    Cypress  faces  additional  problems  and  uncertainties   associated  with
     international operations that could seriously harm it.

o    Cypress  is  subject  to  many  different  environmental   regulations  and
     compliance with the may be costly.  |X| Cypress depends on third parties to
     transport  its  products  and could be harmed if these  parties  experience
     problems.

o    Cypress faces a number of unknown risks associated with Year 2000 problems.

o    Cypress may fail to integrate its business and  technologies  with those of
     companies  that it has  recently  acquired  and that it may  acquire in the
     future.

For a complete  detailed  discussion of risk factors,  refer to Cypress's annual
report  for its fiscal  year  ended  January 2, 2000 on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

                                    Page 14

<PAGE>


     The year 2000 computer  issue  creates a variety of risks for Cypress.  The
year 2000 computer  problem  refers to the  potential for system and  processing
failures of date-related data as a result of  computer-controlled  systems using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. For example, computer
programs that have  time-sensitive  software may recognize a date represented as
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could  result in a system
failure or miscalculations  causing  disruptions of operations,  including among
other things,  interruptions in  manufacturing,  design and process  development
operations,  disruptions in processing business transactions, and disruptions in
other  normal  business  activities.  Issues  related to the year 2000  computer
problem could still arise. The risks involve:

o    potential  warranty or other claims by customers  with respect to errors in
     Cypress's products;

o    errors in systems we use to run Cypress's business;

o    errors in systems used by Cypress's suppliers;

o    errors in systems used by customers; and

o    potential  reduced  spending by  customers  as a result of  concerns  about
     potential year 2000 problems.

     Cypress has  designed  most of our products to be year 2000  compliant  and
have developed  corrective  measures for other products that were not originally
designed to be year 2000 compliant. However, its products may be integrated into
or used in conjunction with products  supplied by other vendors.  Cypress cannot
evaluate  whether all of the products of other vendors are year 2000  compliant.
Cypress may face claims based on year 2000 problems in other companies' products
or based on issues  arising from the  integration  or use of multiple  products.
Cypress  may in  the  future  be  required  to  defend  its  products  in  legal
proceedings that could be expensive regardless of the merits of these claims.

     If Cypress's suppliers,  vendors, partners, customers and service providers
fail to correct  their year 2000  problems,  these  failures  could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, its normal business  activities or operations.
If a year 2000 problem  occurs,  it may be difficult to determine  which party's
products have caused the problem.  These failures could interrupt our operations
and damage its  relationships  with  customers.  Due to the general  uncertainty
inherent in the year 2000 problem  resulting  from the readiness of  third-party
suppliers  and  vendors,  we are  unable  to  determine  at  this  time  whether
third-party  year 2000 failures  could harm its business,  results of operations
and financial condition.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

     Cypress is exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest
rates and foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  To mitigate these risks,  Cypress
utilizes  derivative  financial  instruments.  Cypress  does not use  derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

     The fair value of Cypress's  investment  portfolio or related  income would
not be  significantly  impacted by either a 100 basis point increase or decrease
in interest  rates due mainly to the  short-term  nature of the major portion of
Cypress's  investment  portfolio.  An  increase  in  interest  rates  would  not
significantly  increase  interest  expense due to the fixed  nature of Cypress's
debt obligation.

     A majority of Cypress's  revenue and capital spending is transacted in U.S.
dollars.   However,   Cypress  does  enter  into  these  transactions  in  other
currencies,  primarily  Japanese yen and certain other European  currencies.  To
protect  against  reductions  in value and the  volatility  of future cash flows
caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, Cypress has established revenue and
balance sheet hedging programs.  Cypress's  hedging programs reduce,  but do not
always  eliminate,  the  impact of foreign  currency  rate  movements.  Based on
Cypress's  overall  currency  rate  exposure at January 2, 2000, a near-term 10%
appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar would have an immaterial  effect
on Cypress's financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows over the
next fiscal year.

     All of the potential changes noted above are based on sensitivity  analyses
performed on Cypress's balances as of January 2, 2000.

Notes to Supplementary Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation -- On March 2, 2000,  Cypress completed a merger with
Galvantech,  Inc.  ("Galvantech"),  which  was  accounted  for as a  pooling  of
interests.  These supplementary  consolidated  financial statements presented on
this Form 8-K give  effect to the merger for all periods  presented.  The fiscal
years of Cypress and  Galvantech  were  different and Galvantech has changed its
fiscal  periods  to  coincide  with  that of  Cypress.  For the  purpose  of the
consolidated  balance  sheet for the  fiscal  years  ended  January  2, 2000 and
January 3, 1999, Cypress's consolidated balance sheets as of January 2, 2000 and
January 3, 1999, respectively, have been combined with Galvantech's consolidated
balance sheets as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, respectively. For the
purpose of the  consolidated  statements of operations,  Cypress's  consolidated
statements of operations for the periods ended January 2, 2000,  January 3, 1999
and  December  29,  1997,  have been  combined  with  Galvantech's  consolidated
statement of operations  for the twelve month  periods ended  December 31, 1999,
March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998.  As a result,  the results of  operations  of
Galvantech   for  the  quarter   ended  March  31,  1999  are  included  in  the
supplementary consolidated statements of operations of both 1998 and 1999.

     Cypress -- Cypress Semiconductor Corporation ("Cypress") designs, develops,
manufactures  and  markets  a  broad  line  of   high-performance   digital  and
mixed-signal  integrated circuits for a range of markets,  including  computers,
data communications, telecommunications and instrumentation systems.

     Cypress's operations outside of the U.S. expanded in 1996 with the addition
of its test and  assembly  plant in the  Philippines.  Cypress's  other  foreign
operations  include  several sales offices and design centers located in various
parts of the world. Revenues to international customers were 49%, 43% and 41% of
total revenues in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     In 1999,  Cypress  purchased from Altera  Corporation,  Altera's 17% equity
interest  in  Cypress  Semiconductor  (Texas)  Inc.  ("CTI"),   Cypress's  wafer
fabrication  facility in Texas.  As a result of this purchase,  all of Cypress's
subsidiaries were wholly owned at January 2, 2000 (See Note 4).

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Cypress and
all of its  subsidiaries.  Intercompany  transactions  and  balances  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

     Fiscal Year -- Beginning  with its 1998 fiscal year end,  Cypress ended its
fiscal months, quarters and years on Sundays, rather than Mondays,  bringing its
fiscal  period ends in line with  predominant  industry  practice.  Fiscal years
1999,  1998 and 1997 ended  January 2, 2000,  January 3, 1999 and  December  29,
1997,  respectively.  Fiscal  year 1999 was a 52-week  year ending on the Sunday
closest to December 31, fiscal year 1998 was a 53-week year ending on the Sunday
closest to  December  31 and fiscal  year 1997 was a 52-week  year ending on the
Monday closest to December 31.  Operating  results for the additional  week were
considered immaterial to Cypress's  consolidated  operating results for the year
ended January 3, 1999.

     Management   Estimates  --  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates,  although  such  differences  are not  expected to be material to the
financial statements.

     Reclassifications  -- Certain  prior year  amounts  have been  adjusted  to
conform to current year presentation.

     Fair Value of Financial  Instruments -- For certain of Cypress's  financial
instruments,  including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other current  liabilities,  the carrying amounts  approximate their
fair value due to the relatively  short  maturity of these items.  The estimated
fair market value of Cypress's investments reasonably estimate their fair values
based on market information. At January 2, 2000, the estimated fair value of the
Convertible Subordinated Notes was $234.2 million.

     The estimated fair values have been determined by Cypress,  using available
market information.  However, considerable judgement is required in interpreting
market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly,  the estimates
presented  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the amounts that  Cypress  could
realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different  market  assumptions
and/or  estimation  methodologies  could have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts.

     Cash  Equivalents--  Highly liquid  investments  purchased with an original
maturity of ninety days or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

     Investments --All Cypress investments are classified as available-for-sale.
Investments  in  available-for-sale  securities  are reported at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, if any, included as a component
of stockholders' equity.  Unrealized gains and losses net of related taxes, were
not material for the year ended January 2, 2000 or cumulatively.

     In fiscal  1998,  Cypress  recorded a $3.0  million  writedown of a certain
investment  that was  believed to be  permanently  impaired.  In 1999,  due to a
resurgence in the semiconductor business, the value of the investment increased.
In fiscal 1999,  Cypress sold the investment,  recording a pre-tax gain of $36.2
million, which is included in interest and other income, net.

     Inventories -- Inventories  are stated at the lower of standard cost (which
approximates  actual cost on a first-in,  first-out basis) or market.  Market is
based on estimated net realizable value.

     Property,  Plant and Equipment -- Property,  plant and equipment are stated
at cost, less accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation is computed for financial
reporting  purposes  using the  straight-line  method over the estimated  useful
lives of the assets as presented  below.  Leasehold  improvements  and leasehold
interests  are amortized  over the shorter of the estimated  useful lives of the
assets or the  remaining  term of the lease.  Accelerated  methods of  computing
depreciation are used for tax purposes.

                                                             Useful Lives
                                                               in Years
                                                             ------------
          Equipment .....................................       3 to 7
          Buildings and leasehold improvements ..........      7 to 10
          Furniture and fixtures ........................            5

     Pre-operating  Costs --  Incremental  costs  incurred  in  connection  with
developing major production  capability at new manufacturing  plants,  including
depreciation, amortization and cost of qualification of equipment and production
processes were  capitalized up to December  1997.  Pre-operating  costs totaling
$3.8 million,  net of accumulated  amortization were included in other assets at
December 29,  1997.  Such costs were being  amortized  over five years at a rate
based on estimated units to be manufactured  during that period. In fiscal 1998,
these costs were written off and at January 2, 2000, no pre-operating  costs are
remaining.

     Long-Lived  Assets  --  Long-lived  assets  held  and used by  Cypress  are
reviewed for  impairment  whenever  events or  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In addition, all long-lived
assets to be  disposed of are  reported at the lower of carrying  amount or fair
market value, less expected selling costs.

     Revenue Recognition -- Revenues from product sales are generally recognized
upon  shipment and a reserve is provided  for  estimated  returns.  A portion of
Cypress's sales are made to domestic  distributors  under agreements which allow
certain rights of return and price protection on products  unsold.  Accordingly,
Cypress  defers  recognition  of  revenues  and profit on such sales until these
distributors resell the products.

     Cypress sells to certain  international  distributors  with a provision for
price  adjustments on certain  products.  Cypress  reserves for all  anticipated
price  adjustments.  No  rights  of  return  exist  on  sales  to  international
distributors. Accordingly, sales are recognized upon shipment.

     Cypress  also  has  inventory,  which  is held by  certain  customers  on a
consignment basis. Revenues are recorded when title transfers as defined per the
respective consignment agreements.

     Income Taxes -- Cypress  follows the  liability  method of  accounting  for
income taxes which requires  recognition of deferred tax  liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax  consequences of temporary  differences  between the
financial   statement   carrying  amounts  and  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities.

     Earnings Per Share -- In accordance  with Statement of Accounting  Standard
No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Cypress reports Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), both basic and
diluted EPS on the income  statement.  Basic EPS is based upon  weighted-average
common shares  outstanding.  Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted  average
common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive securities,  except when
their effect is  anti-dilutive.  Dilutive  securities  include stock options and
convertible debt.

     Translation  of Foreign  Currencies -- Cypress uses the U.S.  dollar as its
functional currency for all foreign subsidiaries.  Accordingly, gains and losses
from translation of foreign currency financial  statements into U.S. dollars are
included in results of operations.  Sales to customers are primarily denominated
in U.S. dollars. All foreign currency translation gains and losses have not been
material in any year.

     Concentration  of Credit Risk --  Financial  instruments  that  potentially
subject Cypress to concentrations  of credit risk are primarily  investments and
trade accounts receivable. Cypress's investment policy requires cash investments
to be placed with  high-credit  quality  institutions and to limit the amount of
credit from any one issuer.

     Cypress  sells  its  products  to  original  equipment   manufacturers  and
distributors  throughout the world.  Cypress performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers'  financial  condition  whenever deemed necessary and generally
does not  require  collateral.  Cypress  maintains  an  allowance  for  doubtful
accounts  receivable  based upon the  expected  collectibility  of all  accounts
receivable.

     No one end user accounted for greater than 10% of revenues in 1999, 1998 or
1997. Sales to one distributor  accounted for greater than 10% of total revenues
in 1999, 1998 and 1997.

     Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation -- Cypress  accounts for its stock
option plans and its employee stock purchase plan in accordance  with provisions
of the Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees".  In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No.  123  ("SFAS  123"),  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation",  Cypress
provides additional pro-forma disclosures in Note 7.

     Comprehensive  Income -- In 1998, Cypress adopted SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income."  Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
of  a  company  during  a  period  from   transactions   and  other  events  and
circumstances,  excluding  transactions resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners.  Cypress did not have a material difference between net
income  and  comprehensive  income  for  the  year  ended  January  2,  2000  or
cumulatively.

     Segment Reporting -- In fiscal 1998, Cypress adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related   Information"  ("SFAS  131")."  SFAS  131  establishes   standards  for
disclosures  about products and services,  geographic areas and major customers.
(See Note 11).

     Recent Accounting  Pronouncements -- In June 1999, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.
137 ("SFAS 137"),  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- - Deferral of the  Effective  Date of FASB  Statement  No. 133." SFAS 137 amends
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  "Accounting
for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities," to defer its effective date
to all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS
133 establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for derivative  instruments
including  standalone  instruments,  such as forward currency exchange contracts
and  interest  rate  swaps or  embedded  derivatives  and  requires  that  these
instruments  be  marked-to-market  on  an  ongoing  basis.  These  market  value
adjustments are to be included either in the income  statement or  stockholders'
equity, depending on the nature of the transaction. Cypress is required to adopt
SFAS 133 in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2001.The  effect of SFAS 133 is
not expected to be material to the Cypress's financial statements.

Note 3: Acquisitions

Acquisition of Arcus Technology Companies

     On June 30, 1999, Cypress acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of
Arcus Technology (USA), Inc. and the assets of Arcus Technology  (India) Limited
(referred  to as  "Arcus"  on a  combined  basis).  Arcus  specializes  in  data
communications  technologies  including  dense wave  multiplexing  (which allows
multiple signals to be transmitted over a single fiber optic cable) and "IP over
SONET" (the technology used to code and decode Internet  traffic to send it over
the  telephone  system).  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for  using  purchase
accounting.  Accordingly,  the  estimated  fair  value of  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed were included in Cypress's condensed  consolidated  balance
sheet as of and since June 30, 1999,  the effective  date of the  purchase.  The
results of operations of Arcus are included



                                    Page 23


<PAGE>


in  Cypress's  consolidated  results of  operations  during  the second  half of
Cypress's fiscal year 1999.

     Cypress  acquired  Arcus  for  a  total  consideration  of  $17.7  million,
including  cash of $11.5  million and stock of $6.2 million,  (excluding  direct
acquisition  costs of $0.8  million  for legal  and  accounting  fees).  Through
December  31, 1999  Cypress paid $9.9 million in cash and issued $2.3 million in
stock. The remaining $1.6 million in cash and $3.9 million in stock are expected
to be paid and  issued by future  installments.  The  total  purchase  price was
allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
at the time of the  acquisition  based on independent  appraisals and management
estimates as follows:


                                                                 (In thousands)

                                                                    -------
                                                                    $17,708
                                                                    =======

     The valuation method used to value the in-process  technology of Arcus is a
form of  discounted  cash  flow  method  commonly  known as the  "percentage  of
completion"  approach  whereby  the cash flow  derived  from the  technology  is
multiplied by the  percentage of completion of the in-process  technology.  This
approach is a widely  recognized  appraisal method and is commonly used to value
technology  assets.  The  value  of the  in-process  technology  of Arcus is the
discounted expected future cash flow attributable to the in-process  technology,
taking into  consideration  the  percentage of completion of products  utilizing
this technology,  utilization of pre-existing  technology,  the risks related to
the  characteristics  and  applications of the  technology,  existing and future
markets,  and the technological  risk associated with completing the development
of the technology. The cash flow derived from the in-process technology projects
was discounted  using a discount rate of 32.5%,  which was  appropriate  for the
risk  of  this  technology  for  which  commercial   feasibility  had  not  been
established.  The  percentage  of  completion  for each  in-process  project was
determined by identifying  milestones of completed  project steps as compared to
the  remaining  milestones to be completed to bring the project to technical and
commercial feasibility.  Milestones were based on management's estimate of tasks
completed,  value added and degree of  difficulty  of the portion of the project
completed  as of the  acquisition  date,  in  comparison  with  the  tasks to be
completed  to bring the  project to  technical  and  commercial  feasibility.  A
deduction of 7.5% to 12.0% of expected  future  revenue was made in  calculating
future  cash flows from  in-process  technology  and  attributed  to  previously
existing technology.

     The value of current  technology  was  determined by estimating  the future
cash flows to be derived from products based on existing  commercially  feasible
technologies at the date of the  acquisition,  and  discounting  associated cash
flow using a discount  rate of 25.0%,  which was  appropriate  for the  business
risks inherent in manufacturing and marketing these products. Factors considered
in  estimating  the future cash flow to be derived from the existing  technology
include risks related to the characteristics and applications of the technology,
existing and future markets,  and assessment of the age of the technology within
its life span.

     The value of the assembled workforce is based on estimated costs to replace
the existing  staff  including  recruiting,  hiring and  training  costs for all
categories of employee to fully deploy a work force of similar size and skill to
the same level of productivity as the existing work force. Deferred compensation
value is the cash and stock consideration to be paid by future installments.

     Development of in-process  technology remains a substantial risk to Cypress
due to  many  factors  including  the  remaining  effort  to  achieve  technical
feasibility, rapidly changing customer requirements and competitive threats from
other  companies  and  technologies.   Additionally,  the  value  of  the  other
intangible  assets  acquired may become  impaired.  The in-process  research and
development  valuation as well as the valuation of other  intangible  assets was
prepared by an independent  appraiser of technology assets, based on inputs from
Cypress and Arcus management, utilizing valuation methods that are recognized by
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff.  However,  there can be no
assurance  that the SEC staff will not take issue with any  assumptions  used in
the  appraiser's  valuation  model and  require  Cypress  to revise  the  amount
allocated to in-process research and development.

     The amounts  allocated  to current  technology,  assembled  workforce,  and
residual  goodwill are being amortized over their  respective  estimated  useful
lives  between six and ten years using the  straight-line  method.  The deferred
compensation is being amortized on a straight line basis over two years.

Acquisition of Anchor Chips, Inc.

     On May 25, 1999,  Cypress acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of
Anchor   Chips,   Inc.   ("Anchor"),   a  company   that   designs  and  markets
micro-controller  chips that  support  Universal  Serial Bus  applications.  The
acquisition was accounted for using purchase



                                    Page 24


<PAGE>


accounting.  Accordingly,  the  estimated  fair  value of  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed were included in Cypress's condensed  consolidated  balance
sheet as of and since May 25, 1999,  the  effective  date of the  purchase.  The
results of operations of Anchor were included in Cypress's  consolidated results
of operations as of and since the effective date of the purchase.

     Cypress paid  approximately  $15.0 million in cash,  which excludes  direct
acquisition costs of $0.7 million for investment  banking,  legal and accounting
fees. In addition Cypress assumed net liabilities of approximately $0.9 million.
The total purchase consideration of $15.9 million was allocated to the estimated
fair value of assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based on a  valuation
completed  by  management,  using a valuation  methodology  commonly  applied by
independent appraisers, as follows:

Round  Rock,  Texas  ("Fab II") for  approximately  $13.0  million in cash.  The
acquisition  will be accounted for as a purchase.  In 1988,  Altera licensed its
MAX 5000  family of  products  to  Cypress  in  consideration  of  manufacturing
capacity.  Altera later  acquired a 17% equity  interest in the Round Rock wafer
fabrication facility. By acquiring Altera's equity interest in October 1999, Fab
II is now 100% owned by Cypress.

Merger with IC WORKS Incorporated

     On April 1, 1999,  Cypress  completed a merger  with IC WORKS  Incorporated
("ICW"),  which was  accounted  for as a pooling  of  interests.  The  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements and the notes to the condensed  consolidated
financial  statements give effect to the merger for all periods  presented.  The
fiscal  years of Cypress  and ICW were  different.  ICW has  changed  its fiscal
year-end to coincide with that of Cypress.  Cypress's consolidated statements of
operations  for the periods  ended  January 3, 1999 and December 27, 1997,  have
been  combined  with  ICW's  consolidated   statements  of  operations  for  the
corresponding twelve month periods ended December 28, 1998 and March 28, 1998.

     During fiscal 1999,  Cypress recorded  merger-related  transaction costs of
$3.7 million  related to the  acquisition of ICW.  These charges,  which consist
primarily of investment  banking and other professional fees, have been included
under acquisition and merger costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition of Modern Video Technology, Inc. ("MVT")

     On March 28, 1998,  Cypress  (Galvantech)  acquired all of the  outstanding
capital  stock  of MVT,  a  California  corporation  involved  primarily  in the
development of video products. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
The consideration  for the acquisition  totaled $4.8 million and was composed of
205,296  shares of common stock and the assumption of 14,264 options to purchase
Cypress's  common  stock.  The  total  purchase  price was  allocated  to assets
acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based on a their  estimated  fair values as
follows:

     Acquired in-process video technology,  which had not reached  technological
feasibility  and had no  alternative  use,  was expensed  immediately.  Acquired
development  technology  arising from the  acquisition of MVT was written off in
fiscal 1999.  On a pro-forma  basis,  MVT had been acquired on April 1, 1996 and
excluding the effect of expensing in-process video technology, the effect if the
acquisition  on Cypress  (Galvantech's)  revenues and losses for the years ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 would have not been material.

Note 4: Restructuring and Other Non-Recurring Costs

1999 Restructuring, Merger and Acquisition, and Other Non-Recurring Costs

     During fiscal 1999,  Cypress recorded a net $33.8 million in restructuring,
merger  and  acquisition,   and  other  non-recurring   costs.  These  one-time,
non-recurring   costs   included  a  $12.3   million   write-off  of  a  certain
manufacturing  asset that is not in service  and will be  scrapped  and an $11.9
million one-time  compensation  charge associated with retention and performance
payments to key employees in December 1999. In the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
Cypress  recorded  one-time  charges of $3.7 million  associated with the merger
with IC  Works.  These  charges  were for  investment  banking  fees  and  other
professional  fees.  Cypress also recorded $8.8 million in costs associated with
the  purchases of Anchor and Arcus  comprising  of $4.0  million for  in-process
technology,  $1.6 million for transaction costs and $3.2 million in amortization
of intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, Cypress acquired
Altera's MAX 5000 Programmable  Logic Device ("PLD") product line and its equity
interest in Cypress's wafer  fabrication  facility in Round Rock, Texas. As part
of the  transaction,  Cypress  recorded  intangible  assets  associated with the
product rights and incurred



                                    Page 26


<PAGE>


$0.3 million for the  amortization  of these  intangibles.  These  non-recurring
charges  were  offset by a reversal  of $3.0  million of the 1998  restructuring
reserve.  The reversed  charges  related to $2.2 million of severance  and other
employee  related  charges and $0.3 million for the provision for phase-down and
completion of the Alphatec restructuring activities.  Cypress also reversed $0.5
million of the 1998 restructuring  reserve for other fixed asset related charges
that were no longer considered  necessary.  During fiscal 1999, Cypress reversed
$0.7  million  of  the  1996  restructuring   reserve  related  to  fixed  asset
de-installation charges that were no longer required.

1998 Restructuring and Other Non-Recurring Costs

     During  1998,  Cypress  implemented  an  overall  cost  reduction  plan and
recorded a $58.9 million restructuring reserve. The restructuring entailed:

     o    The  shutdown  of  Fab  3,  located  in  Bloomington,   Minnesota  and
          consolidation  of parts of Fab 3 operations  with other  operations of
          Cypress.

     o    The  discontinuance  of the 0.6 micron 256k SRAM  production  in Fab 2
          located in Texas.

     o    The conversion of an existing  research and development fab located in
          San Jose (Fab 1) to  eight-inch  capability  in order to be compatible
          with the state of the art eight-inch Minnesota manufacturing facility.

     o    The  transfer of Cypress's  test  operations  from its  subcontractor,
          Alphatec,   in  Thailand  to  Cypress's  production  facility  in  the
          Philippines.

     The  restructuring  activities  described above included the termination of
approximately 850 employees,  primarily from manufacturing,  both at Cypress and
at Alphatec.

     Separate from the restructuring charge, Cypress recorded additional charges
of $27.3 million, which were recorded as operating expenses in the first quarter
of 1998.  These  charges  were  for  inventory  reserves  ($15.8  million),  the
write-off of  pre-operating  costs ($3.8  million),  the  write-off of an equity
investment  ($3.1  million),  costs incurred to reimburse a customer for certain
product expenses incurred ($2.5 million) and the write-off of obsolete equipment
in Fab 4 ($2.1  million).  The  write-down  of  inventory  was made to establish
incremental reserves for excess inventory and was recorded as cost of revenues.

     The  write-off of  pre-operating  costs  included  $2.9 million  related to
Cypress's wafer fabrication operation in Bloomington, Minnesota and $0.9 million
related to its assembly and test  operation in the  Philippines.  As a result of
restructuring   activities,   Cypress  wrote  off  its  previously   capitalized
pre-operating costs as an impaired asset due to uncertainties  surrounding their
future  economic  benefits.  These costs were  written off to cost of  revenues.
There were no capitalized pre-operating costs subsequent to the first quarter of
1998.

     The $3.1 million  write-off of the equity  investment was recorded  against
net  interest  and  other  income  to  reflect  the  decline  in the value of an
investment.  Selling, general and administrative costs included the write-off of
$2.5  million in costs  incurred  to  reimburse a customer  for certain  product
expenses incurred. During Cypress's periodic review of equipment, some equipment
was  identified  as obsolete and $2.1 million was charged to cost of revenues to
write-off the obsolete equipment.


     The following  tables sets forth  charges taken against the reserve  during
fiscal  1999 and  restructuring  expense  and  charges  taken  from the date the
restructuring commenced through January 2, 2000.

- ----------

(1)  Classified on the Balance Sheet as part of accrued liabilities.

(2)  The amount  utilized  represents  cash  payments  related to  severance  of
     approximately 850 employees.

     During fiscal 1999,  Cypress  reversed $3.7 million of previously  provided
restructuring  costs.  $2.2  million of  severance  and other  employee  related
charges and $0.3 million for the provision for phase-down and  consolidation  of
manufacturing facilities were reversed in conjunction with the completion of the
Alphatec  restructuring  activities.  $0.5  million was reversed for other fixed
asset  related  charges based on the  determination  that a portion of the fixed
asset removal costs accrual would not be required.  These  reversals  related to
Cypress's 1998  restructuring  activities.  Cypress also reversed a $0.7 million
reserve for fixed asset  installation  costs  related to its 1996  restructuring
activities which was no longer required.  In fiscal 1999,  Cypress utilized $0.8
million,  primarily  associated with the removal cost of equipment identified as
part of the restructuring.

     Restructuring activities associated with Fabs 2 and 3 were completed in May
and July 1998,  respectively,  consistent with Cypress's  restructuring schedule
except for the disposal of equipment.  Fab 1 restructuring  was not completed in
January 1999 as originally  planned.  Cypress has initiated plans to convert its
R&D wafer facility in San Jose to eight-inch  capability and expects to have the
conversion  completed  by June 2000.  The  Alphatec  consolidation  and transfer
activity was completed in January 1999, one month later than originally planned.

1997 Restructuring Costs - Cypress (ICW)

     During the fiscal 1997,  Cypress made a decision to shut down its wafer fab
located in San Jose. In connection with the shut down of the wafer fab,  Cypress
recorded a  restructuring  charge of $9.9 million  related to the  impairment of
assets  ($3.9  million),   non-cancelable   operating  lease  commitments  ($3.6
million),  costs  associated  with a reduction in work force ($0.2  million) and
other  transaction  costs ($2.2 million).  The other  transaction  costs related
primarily to inventory write-offs, expenses incurred to remove and return leased
equipment  and  brokerage  and  professional  fees.  The actual  liquidation  of
substantially  all of the impaired  assets was completed in November  1998.  The
balance of the reserve  remaining  is expected to be utilized by March 2000 when
the operating lease commitment ends.

     The following  tables sets forth  charges taken against the reserve  during
fiscal  1999 and  restructuring  expense  and  charges  taken  from the date the
restructuring commenced through January 2, 2000.

     In November  1997,  Cypress  also  borrowed  $2.0  million  from Maxim with
interest accruing at 6% per annum. The note and interest are to be repaid at the
earlier of: a majority sale of Cypress, the consummation of a public offering of
Cypress common stock,  or four years from the date of the note (November  2001).
In addition,  Cypress  entered into a wafer  purchase  agreement with Maxim that
allows Cypress to buy BiCMOS wafers from Maxim for a period of up to two years.

     On the closing date of the transaction,  November 20, 1997, Maxim purchased
Cypress six-inch wafer  fabrication  leasehold  improvements  and  manufacturing
equipment  as well as  certain  five-inch  wafer  fabrication  equipment,  which
Cypress owned or acquired  through  capital  leases.  The carrying values of the
six-inch and five-inch  fabrication assets were $14.25 million and $0.4 million,
respectively.  Proceeds of the sale of these assets to Maxim were $12.5  million
to Cypress.

     The  following  table  summarizes  the  disposition  of  the  six-inch  and
five-inch fabrication assets held by Cypress through December 29, 1997.

Note 5: Equity and Debt Transactions

     During fiscal 1999, Cypress filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Under this shelf registration,  Cypress
could  through March 2001 sell any  combination  of debt  securities,  preferred
stock and common  stock in one or more  offerings up to a total amount of $300.0
million dollars. The entire amount of this shelf registration statement has been
used by the  transactions  described  in this  paragraph.  On January 19,  2000,
Cypress completed a $283.0 million  registered-placement  of 5-year  Convertible
Subordinated  Notes.  The notes are due in the year 2005,  with a coupon rate of
4.00% and an initial conversion premium of 28.5%. The notes are convertible into
approximately  6.1 million shares of common stock and are callable by Cypress no
earlier than February 5, 2003. Net proceeds were $275.2 million,  after issuance
costs of $7.8 million.  Pursuant to the shelf  registration,  on March 29, 1999,
Cypress sold 7.2 million shares of common stock. Cypress received  approximately
$33.8 million in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the sale of these shares.
The remaining 2.5 million shares were sold by selling stockholders.  Cypress did
not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders.

     In March 1999,  Cypress announced a program whereby all U.S. employees were
offered  loans to  facilitate  the exercise of vested stock  options.  Under the
terms of the  program,  only  options  which were vested as of March 1, 1999 and
whose  exercise  price was less than or equal to $9.75 could qualify for a loan.
The loans,  including  interest,  are due at the earlier of three days following
the sale of the shares,  within thirty days of the date the individual ceases to
be an employee of Cypress or 3 years from the grant date of the loan.  The loans
bear  interest  and are  secured by full  recourse.  At  January 2, 2000,  loans
receivable and accrued interest under this program totaled $8.2 million.

     In fiscal  years  1997 and  1998,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  the
repurchase  of up to 14.0 million  shares of  Cypress's  common  stock.  Through
January 3, 1999,  8.1  million  shares had been  repurchased  under this  entire
program  for $67.5  million.  On  February  25,  1999,  the  Board of  Directors
terminated the stock repurchase program.  The unsold repurchased shares were and
are expected to continue to be used for option  exercises  under  Cypress's 1994
Stock Option Plan and stock  purchases  under the Employee  Stock Purchase Plan.
During  1998,  Cypress  reissued  1.8 million  shares of common stock under such
plans.  During fiscal 1999,  Cypress  reissued a total of 8.3 million  shares in
relation to the stock offering  described above and in conjunction with the 1994
Stock Option Plan and Employee  Purchase Plan. Such shares had been  repurchased
under the 1997/1998  repurchase programs as well as repurchase programs prior to
1997.

Convertible Subordinated Notes

     In 1998,  Cypress retired a total of $15.0 million  principal of its $175.0
million,  6.0%  Convertible  Subordinated  Notes  ("Notes")  for $12.9  million,
resulting  in a pre-tax  net gain of $1.7  million.  The gain was  offset by the
write-off of bond  issuance  costs of $0.4 million  (pre-tax).  The net gain was
recorded as interest and other income. The Notes, which were issued in September
1997,  are due  October 1, 2002 and contain a coupon rate of 6.0% and an initial
conversion  premium of 48.2%.  The remaining  outstanding  Notes are convertible
into approximately  6,772,000 shares of common stock and are callable by Cypress
on or after October 2, 2000. The Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations.

     In  February  1997,  Cypress  called  for  redemption  of all of the  3.15%
Convertible  Subordinated Notes which was effective as of March 26, 1997. At the
time of conversion,  approximately  85% of the holders  elected to convert their
notes  into  Cypress's  common  stock,  increasing  the  amount of common  stock
outstanding  by  6,789,013  shares.  As a result of  holders  electing  the cash
settlement, Cypress paid out $14.3 million.

Notes Payable

     During 1997,  Cypress entered into an agreement to borrow $2.0 million from
a third party with interest  accruing at 6.0% per annum.  The loan was repaid in
April  1999.  Also  during  1997,  Cypress  issued  promissory  notes  to  three
significant customers for $2.0 million,  $1.4 million and $0.3 million,  bearing
interest at 6.0%, 10.0% and 7.5%,  respectively and due in October 2000,  August
2000 and July 1999, respectively. As of January 2, 2000, a total of $0.7 million
was payable under the notes.

Line of Credit

     In  1997,  Cypress  established  a  revolving  line of  credit  with a bank
totaling up to $6.5 million. Cypress cancelled this line of credit in June 1999.

     In July 1996,  Cypress  established a three-year  $100.0 million  unsecured
revolving  credit  facility  with Bank of  America  National  Trust and  Savings
Association as agent on behalf of certain banks. In 1998, Cypress cancelled this
line of credit.

Note 7: Common Stock Option and Other Employee Benefit Plans

1999 and 1994 Stock Option Plans


                                    Page 30



<PAGE>



     In 1999, Cypress adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan ("The Plan"). Under the
terms of the Plan,  options may be granted to  qualified  employees  of acquired
companies and consultants of Cypress or its majority-owned subsidiaries. Options
become exercisable over a vesting period as determined by the Board of Directors
and expire over terms not exceeding ten years from the date of grant. The option
price for shares granted,  under the Plan, is typically equal to the fair market
value of the common stock at the date of grant.

     In 1994,  Cypress  adopted  the 1994  Stock  Option  Plan,  which  replaced
Cypress's 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 1988 Directors'  Stock Option
Plan (the  "Terminated  Plans") with respect to future option grants.  Under the
terms of the 1994  Stock  Option  Plan,  options  may be  granted  to  qualified
employees,  consultants, officers and directors of Cypress or its majority-owned
subsidiaries.  Options become exercisable over a vesting period as determined by
the Board of Directors and expire over terms not exceeding twenty years from the
date of grant. The option price for shares granted,  under the 1994 Stock Option
Plan,  is  typically  equal to the fair market  value of the common stock at the
date of  grant.  The 1994  Stock  Option  Plan  includes  shares  that  remained
available  under the  Terminated  Plans and provides  for an annual  increase in
shares available for issuance  pursuant to non-statutory  stock options equal to
4.5% of Cypress's outstanding common stock at the end of each fiscal year.

     In January  1998,  substantially  all  outstanding  stock  options  with an
exercise price in excess of $9.75 per share were cancelled and replaced with new
options  having an exercise  price of $9.75 per share,  the fair market value on
the date that the employees accepted the repricing. A total of 10,464,000 shares
were  repriced.  This  repricing  excluded  the  Board of  Directors,  the Chief
Executive Officer and the Executive staff of Cypress.

     The following table summarizes  Cypress's stock option activity and related
weighted average exercise price for each category for the years ended January 2,
2000, January 3, 1999 and December 29, 1997. The weighted average exercise price
for each category presented is also shown in the table below.

</TABLE>


     All options were granted at an exercise  price equal to the market value of
Cypress's stock at the date of grant. The weighted average  estimated fair value
at the date of grant,  as defined by SFAS 123, for options granted in 1999, 1998
and 1997 was $8.98,  $3.61 and $5.06 per  option,  respectively.  The  estimated
grant  date  fair  value  is  calculated  using  the  Black-Scholes  model.  The
Black-Scholes  model,  as well as  other  currently  accepted  option  valuation
models,  was  developed  to estimate  the fair value of freely  tradable,  fully
transferable  options without vesting  restrictions,  which significantly differ
from Cypress's stock option awards.  These models also require highly subjective
assumptions,  including  future stock price  volatility  and expected time until
exercise, which greatly affect the calculated grant date fair value.

     The following  weighted  average  assumptions are included in the estimated
grant date fair value calculations for Cypress's stock option awards:

                                      1999         1998         1997

Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan

     In 1986,  Cypress  approved  an  Employee  Qualified  Stock  Purchase  Plan
("ESPP"),  which allows  eligible  employees of Cypress and its  subsidiaries to
purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP consists of
consecutive 24-month offering periods composed of four 6-month exercise periods.
The shares can be  purchased at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of commencement of this two-year  offering period or at
the last day of each 6-month exercise period. Purchases are limited to 10% of an
employee's  eligible   compensation,   subject  to  a  maximum  annual  employee
contribution  limited to a $25,000  market value  (calculated  as the employee's
enrollment  price  multiplied  by  the  number  of  purchased  shares).  Of  the
11,373,000  shares  authorized  under the ESPP,  7,320,000  shares  were  issued
through 1999 including  953,000,  890,000 and 541,000 shares in 1999,  1998, and
1997, respectively.

     Compensation  costs  (included  in pro forma net  income and net income per
share  amounts)  for the grant date fair  value,  as defined by SFAS 123, of the
purchase rights granted under the ESPP were calculated  using the  Black-Scholes
model. The following weighted average  assumptions are included in the estimated
grant date fair value calculations for rights to purchase stock under the ESPP:

                                             1999      1998      997
                                           --------  --------  -------
          Expected life ................   6 months  6 months  6 months

          Dividend yield ...............     0.00%     0.00%     0.00%

     The weighted  average  estimated  grant date fair value, as defined by SFAS
123, or rights to purchase  stock under the ESPP granted in 1999,  1998 and 1997
were $7.50, $2.56 and $5.49 per share, respectively.

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     If Cypress had recorded  compensation  costs based on the  estimated  grant
date fair value, as defined by SFAS 123, for awards granted under its 1994 Stock
Option Plan,  its 1999 Stock Option Plan and its Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan,
Cypress's pro forma net income (loss) and earnings per share for the years ended
January  2,  2000,  January  3, 1999 and  December  29,  1997 would have been as
follows:

                                            1999       1998         1997
                                         ---------  ----------    ---------
                                      (In thousands, except per-share amounts)
Pro forma net income (loss):
   Basic .............................   $  59,666  $ (130,924)   $ (21,905)
   Diluted ...........................   $  59,666  $ (130,924)   $ (21,905)
Pro forma net income (loss) per share:
   Basic .............................   $    0.55  $    (1.25)   $   (0.21)
   Diluted ...........................   $    0.52  $    (1.25)   $   (0.21)

     The pro forma effect on net income  (loss) and net income  (loss) per share
for 1999,  1998 and 1997 is not  representative  of the pro forma  effect on net
income in the future years because it does not take into consideration pro forma
compensation expense related to grants prior to 1995.

Deferred Compensation

     Cypress  recorded a provision for deferred  compensation  of  approximately
$509,000,  $2,547,000  and  $358,000  for the  difference  between  the grant or
issuance  price and the deemed fair value for  financial  reporting  purposes of
certain  Cypress  common stock options  granted or common stock issued in fiscal
years  ended   January  2,  2000,   January  3,  1999  and  December  29,  1997,
respectively.  These amounts are being  amortized over the vesting period of the
individual stock options or stock, generally a period of four to five years. The
deferred compensation expense provision was reduced by approximately $263,000 in
fiscal 1997,  representing an unvested portion of deferred  compensation expense
for wafer  fabrication  employees  terminated  in  fiscal  1998 upon the sale to
Maxim.


                                    Page 32


<PAGE>


Deferred  compensation  expense,  which was  recognized,  totaled  approximately
$1,295,000,  $1,092,000  and  $345,000  in  fiscal  years  1999,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Other Employee Benefit Plans

     Cypress also  maintains a Section  401(k) Plan, New Product Bonus Plan, Key
Employee  Bonus Plan and Deferred  Compensation  Plan.  The 401(k) Plan provides
participating  employees with an opportunity to accumulate  funds for retirement
and hardship.  Eligible  participants may contribute up to 15% of their eligible
earnings to the Plan Trust. Cypress does not make contributions to the plan.

     Under the New Product  Bonus Plan,  which  started in 1997,  all  qualified
employees are provided bonus payments based on Cypress  attaining certain levels
of new product revenue, plus attaining certain levels of profitability. In 1999,
1998 and 1997, $6.9 million,  $0.7 million and $0.5 million,  respectively  were
charged to operations in connection with the New Product Bonus Plan.

     In 1994,  a Key Employee  Bonus Plan was  established,  which  provides for
bonus  payments to selected  employees upon  achievement of certain  Cypress and
individual  performance  targets.  In 1999 and  1998,  $4.9  and  $4.1  million,
respectively,  were charged to operations in connection with this Plan. In 1997,
there were no charges to  operations  in  connection  with this Plan.  Employees
eligible  under the Key  Employee  Bonus  Plan can elect to  participate  in the
Deferred  Compensation  Plan,  which  allows  eligible  employees to defer their
salary,  bonus and other  related  payments.  Costs  incurred by Cypress for the
Deferred  Compensation  Plan  during  fiscal  years  1999,  1998 and  1997  were
insignificant.

Note 8: Income Taxes

     The  components  of the provision  for income taxes are  summarized  below.
Income before taxes is principally attributed to domestic operations.

     During  1998,  the  United  States   Internal   Revenue  Service  began  an
examination of tax returns for fiscal years 1994 through 1996.  The  examination
is expected to continue through May 2000.  Management  believes that no material
adjustments will ultimately result from this examination.

     Other current assets include  current  deferred tax assets of $10.0 million
at January 2, 2000.  Other assets include deferred tax assets of $9.8 million at
January 2, 2000. There were no deferred tax assets as of January 3, 1999.

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments

     Cypress  leases  most of its  manufacturing  and  office  facilities  under
non-cancelable  operating lease  agreements that expire at various dates through
2012.  These leases require  Cypress to pay taxes,  insurance,  and  maintenance
expenses,  and provide for renewal  options at the then fair market rental value
of the property.

     In April 1997,  Cypress sold  capital  equipment  located in its  Minnesota
wafer   fabrication   facility  to  Fleet   Capital   Leasing   ("Fleet")  in  a
sale-leaseback  agreement.  In  October  1997,  Cypress  entered  into a similar
agreement with Comdisco,  Inc.  ("Comdisco") for other capital equipment located
in Minnesota.  Cypress received a total of $28.2 million from Fleet and Comdisco
in  exchange  for the  capital  equipment  and as a result of the  transactions,
recorded an immaterial gain that is being amortized over the life of the leases.

     In 1994 and 1995,  Cypress entered into three  operating  lease  agreements
with  respect  to its  office  and  manufacturing  facilities,  in San  Jose and
Minnesota, respectively. In April 1996, Cypress entered into an additional lease
agreement related to two office facilities


                                    Page 34


<PAGE>


in San Jose. These agreements  require quarterly payments that vary based on the
London  Interbank  Offering Rate  ("LIBOR"),  plus a spread.  All leases provide
Cypress with the option of either acquiring the property at its original cost or
arranging  for the  property to be acquired at the end of the  respective  lease
terms. Cypress is contingently liable under certain first-loss clauses for up to
$52.7  million  at January 3, 1999.  First loss  clauses  state that  Cypress is
potentially  liable  for  any  decline  in the  value  of the  property  up to a
specified  percentage.  The purchase  option then permits Cypress to acquire the
property at the lower value. Based on management's estimate of the fair value of
the  properties,  no  liability  was required to be recorded at January 2, 2000,
January 3, 1999 or  December  29,  1997.  Furthermore,  Cypress is  required  to
maintain  a  specific  level  of  restricted  cash or  investments  to  serve as
collateral  for these leases and  maintain  compliance  with  certain  financial
covenants.  As of January 2, 2000, the amount of restricted investments recorded
was  $61.2  million,  which  is  in  compliance  with  these  agreements.  These
restricted  cash or  investments  are  classified as  non-current on the balance
sheet.

     The aggregate  annual rental  commitments  under  non-cancelable  operating
leases as of January 2, 2000 are as follows:

     Rental expense was  approximately  $18.3 million in 1999,  $22.0 million in
1998 and $17.3 million in 1997.

Litigation and Asserted Claims

     The  semiconductor   industry  has  experienced  a  substantial  amount  of
litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. From time to
time,  Cypress  has  received,  and may  receive in the  future,  communications
alleging  that its products or its  processes may infringe on product or process
technology  rights held by others.  Cypress is currently,  and may in the future
be,  involved in litigation  with respect to alleged  infringement by Cypress of
another party's patents. In the future,  Cypress may be involved with litigation
to:

o    Enforce its patents or other intellectual property rights.

o    Protect its trade secrets and know-how.

o    Determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others.

o    Defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.

     Such  litigation  has  in the  past  and  could  in the  future  result  in
substantial costs and diversion of management  resources.  Such litigation could
also result in payment of substantial  damages and/or  royalties or prohibitions
against utilization of essential technologies, and could have a material adverse
effect on Cypress's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     During 1998,  EMI Group of North America,  Inc.  ("EMI") filed suit against
Cypress in the Federal  Court in Delaware,  claiming  that Cypress  infringed on
four patents owned by EMI.  Cypress and EMI entered into a license  agreement in
February 1999, for one of the four patents in the lawsuit. EMI then withdrew two
of the four  patents  from the  lawsuit,  including  the  patent  related to the
licensing agreement.  The case involving the remaining two patents went to trial
in October  1999.  The jury ruled in favor of Cypress,  finding that none of the
patent claims was infringed by Cypress and that each asserted  claim was invalid
due to  physical  impossibility  (i.e.,  the  patents  require  a step  that  is
physically  impossible to perform) and prior art (i.e.,  assuming it is possible
to perform the impossible step, the prior art would have also performed it). EMI
may file an appeal,  although no such  appeal has been filed as of February  25,
2000.  Should EMI appeal the decision of the Federal Court,  Cypress  intends to
defend  itself  vigorously.  However,  should  the  outcome  of this  action  be
unfavorable,  Cypress's business,  financial condition and results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected.

     In January 1998, an attorney representing the estate of Mr. Jerome Lemelson
contacted  Cypress and charged that Cypress  infringed  certain patents owned by
Mr. Lemelson.  On February 26, 1999, the Lemelson  attorneys sued Cypress and 87
other  companies  for  infringement  of 16  patents.  Cypress has  reviewed  and
investigated  the  allegations  in the complaint  and Cypress  believes that the
suits are without merit.  Cypress will vigorously  defend itself in this matter.
While no assurance can be given  regarding  the outcome of this action,  Cypress
believes that the final outcome of the matter will not have a material effect on
Cypress's  consolidated  financial  position or results of operations.  However,
because of the nature  and  inherent  uncertainties  of  litigation,  should the
outcome of this


                                    Page 35


<PAGE>


action  be  unfavorable,  Cypress  may be  required  to pay  damages  and  other
expenses,  which could have a material  adverse  effect on  Cypress's  financial
position and results of operations.

     In June 1997, Cypress commenced a declaratory judgment action in the United
States  District  Court for the District of Nevada  against the Li Second Family
Trust ("the Trust"). In this action, Cypress asked for declaratory relief to the
effect that a U.S.  patent  relating to a part of the process for  manufacturing
semiconductors is unenforceable, invalid and not infringed by Cypress. The Trust
has counter-claimed  for patent  infringement on the same patent,  alleging such
patent  covers  oxide-isolated  integrated  circuits.  In May 1999, in a related
case,  the United  States  District  Court for the Eastern  District of Virginia
ruled that the patent is unenforceable due to inequitable  conduct by Dr. Li and
his  attorneys  in obtaining  the patent.  Cypress  believes it has  meritorious
defenses to the counter-claim and intends to defend itself vigorously.  While no
assurance  can be given  regarding  the final  outcome of this  action,  Cypress
believes that the final  outcome of the matters will not have a material  effect
on Cypress's consolidated financial position or results of operations.  However,
should the outcome of this action be unfavorable,  Cypress's business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

     On October 2, 1997,  Cypress filed an action against Kevin Yourman,  Joseph
Weiss,  and their  associated  law offices in the Superior  Court of  California
("Superior  Court") in Santa Clara County for malicious civil prosecution in the
underlying  securities fraud actions  initiated by Messrs.  Yourman and Weiss in
1992. The underlying  securities fraud actions were dismissed because no officer
of Cypress made any actionable false or misleading  statements or omissions.  An
appeal affirmed the lower court's finding that Messrs.  Yourman and Weiss failed
to put  forth  evidence  showing  a  genuine  issue of fact  with  regard to any
statements by Cypress's  officers.  On May 4, 1999, the Superior Court granted a
summary  judgment  motion by Messrs.  Yourman and Weiss,  holding  that  Messrs.
Yourman and Weiss had probable cause to bring the underlying litigation. Cypress
is appealing the decision. However, the results of litigation are unpredictable.
Cypress believes that this action,  regardless of its outcome, will have little,
if any  effect on  Cypress's  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

Purchase Commitments

     At January 2, 2000,  Cypress had purchase  commitments  aggregating  $192.0
million,   principally  for  manufacturing   equipment  and  facilities.   These
commitments  relate to purchases to be made in 2000 and beyond.  Commitments for
2000  purchases  will  be  funded  through  a  combination  of  cash  resources,
retirement of investments and the $283.0 million 4.0%  Convertible  Subordinated
Notes (See Note 12).

Note 10: Related Parties

     Between 1992 and 1995,  Cypress made  cost-basis  investments in QuickLogic
Corporation  ("QuickLogic") Series D and Series E preferred stock. In June 1996,
Cypress received $4.5 million from QuickLogic,  the original intent of which was
to obtain a minority  interest  in CTI and to secure  guaranteed  fab  capacity.
Cypress  classified  the $4.5 million as other  long-term  liabilities  in 1996,
awaiting final negotiation of the terms and transaction approval from Altera, an
existing  minority  interest  shareholder.  In  March  1997,  Cypress  signed  a
definitive  agreement with QuickLogic  Corporation  involving  termination of an
existing joint  development,  licensing and foundry agreement for antifuse Field
Programmable  Gate Array  ("FPGA")  products and the  execution of a new foundry
agreement.  Under the new agreement,  Cypress ceased development,  marketing and
selling  of  antifuse-based  FPGA  products.  In  return,  QuickLogic  paid $4.5
million,  which  represented  $3.5 million of NRE revenue related to the sale of
technology  rights and $1.0  million of  compensation  for  inventory  and other
assets,  and issued shares of QuickLogic  common stock that increased  Cypress's
equity position in the  privately-held  QuickLogic to greater than 20%.  Cypress
also entered into a five-year wafer-supply agreement to provide FPGA products to
QuickLogic.  Revenues and net income contributed by the FPGA product line during
1997 and was not significant.

     In the first  quarter of 1998,  due to  QuickLogic's  history of  recording
losses,  Cypress  determined  that its  investment in QuickLogic had declined in
value and the decline in value was not temporary. Accordingly, Cypress wrote-off
its investment in QuickLogic to reflect this decline.  During the second half of
1998 and throughout 1999, due to the resurgence in the  semiconductor  industry,
QuickLogic began recording profits.  In October 1999,  QuickLogic  announced its
initial  public  offering.  Cypress sold its investment in QuickLogic in October
1999 and as a result, recorded a $36.2 million gain.

     Cypress  recorded  sales to QuickLogic  of $7.1  million,  $2.3 million and
$11.7 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At fiscal year-ends 1999 and
1998,  Cypress had a receivable  due from  QuickLogic  of $0.9 and $0.6 million,
respectively.

     During  1990,  Cypress  made a  cost-basis  investment  of $1.0  million in
Vitesse  Semiconductor  stock. Cypress sold its remaining investment in February
1997 and recorded a gain of $3.8 million in other income.

Note 11: Segment Information

     Cypress  has  two  reportable  segments,  Memory  Products  and  Non-memory
Products.  The Memory  Products  segment  includes Static Random Access Memories
("SRAMs")  and multichip  modules.  The  Non-memory  Products  segment  includes
programmable  logic products,  data  communication  devices,  computer products,
non-volatile memory products and wafers manufactured by the foundry.

     The accounting  policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant  accounting  policies (see Note 1). Cypress evaluates
the  performance  of its two  segments  based on profit or loss from  operations
before income taxes, excluding nonrecurring gains and losses.

     Cypress's  reportable  segments  are  strategic  business  units that offer
different products.  Products that fall under the two segments differ in nature,
are  manufactured   utilizing  different   technologies  and  have  a  different
end-purpose.  As  such,  they  are  managed  separately.   Memory  Products  are
characterized  more as a commodity,  which is depicted by high unit sales volume
and lower gross  margins.  These products are  manufactured  using more advanced
technology. A significant portion of the wafers produced for Memory Products are
manufactured at Cypress's technologically advanced,  eight-inch wafer production
facility  located in Minnesota (Fab 4). Memory Products are used by a variety of
end-users but the product is used  specifically for the storage and retrieval of
information.  In contrast to Memory Products,  unit sales of non-Memory Products
are generally lower than Memory Products, but sell at higher gross margins. Some
Non-memory  Products are manufactured  utilizing less  technologically  advanced
processes.  A majority of wafers for  Non-memory  Products are  manufactured  at
Cypress's less  technologically  advanced six-inch Fab located in Texas (Fab 2).
Products  in  the  Non-memory  segment  perform  non-memory  functions  such  as
floating-point  mathematics,  store fixed data that is not to be altered  during
normal  machine  operations  and data transfer and routing  functions of signals
throughout a computer system.

     The tables below set forth  information  about the reportable  segments for
fiscal years 1999,  1998 and 1997.  Cypress  does not  allocate  income taxes or
non-recurring items to segments.  In addition,  segments do not have significant
non-cash items other than  depreciation  and  amortization in reported profit or
loss.

Note 12: Subsequent Events

     On  March  2,  2000,  Cypress  completed  a merger  with  Galvantech,  Inc.
("Galvantech"),  which  was  accounted  for as a  pooling  of  interests.  These
supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements  presented  give effect to the
merger for all periods  presented.  The fiscal  years of Cypress and  Galvantech
were  different and  Galvantech  has changed its fiscal periods to coincide with
that of Cypress.  Cypress's  consolidated  balance sheets as of January 2, 2000,
January 3, 1999 and December  29, 1997,  have been  combined  with  Galvantech's
consolidated  balance  sheets as of December 31, 1999,  March 31, 1999 and March
31, 1998. Cypress's consolidated  statements of operations for the periods ended
January 2, 2000,  January 3, 1999 and December 29, 1997 have been  combined with
Galvantech's  consolidated  statement of operations for the twelve month periods
ended  December 31, 1999,  March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998.  As a result,  the
results of  operations  of  Galvantech  for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 are
included in the Supplementary Consolidated Statements of Operations of both 1998
and 1999.

     On January 31, 2000, Cypress filed a universal shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC). The registration  statement,
when  effective,  will allow Cypress to market and sell up to $400.0  million of
its securities.  The shelf registration statement will allow Cypress flexibility
to  raise  funds  from the  offering  of debt  securities,  common  stock,  or a
combination thereof, subject to market conditions and Cypress's capital needs.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

          To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
          of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation.


     In our opinion, the accompanying  supplementary consolidated balance sheets
and  the  related   supplementary   consolidated   statements   of   operations,
stockholders'  equity,  and of  cash  flows  present  fairly,  in  all  material
respects,  the financial position of Cypress  Semiconductor  Corporation and its
subsidiaries  at January 2, 2000 and  January 3, 1999,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
January 2, 2000, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in
the United States.  These  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 of these
statements  in  accordance  with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the
United  States  which  require  that we plan and  perform  the  audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
