PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE
NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS AND THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK
DESCRIBED UNDER "RISK FACTORS".
TECHNICAL TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS ARE EXPLAINED IN THE GLOSSARY
BEGINNING ON PAGE 36. MARKET DATA INCLUDED IN THIS PROSPECTUS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED
FROM INDEPENDENT SOURCES THAT WE BELIEVE ARE RELIABLE.
ANADIGICS
We are a leading supplier of radio frequency/microwave integrated circuit
solutions for the communications industry. Our products are used to send and
receive signals in a variety of wireless and broadband communications
applications. Our innovative high frequency integrated circuits enable
manufacturers of communications equipment to enhance overall system performance
and reduce manufacturing cost and time to market.
In the wireless market we focus on applications for cellular and personal
communications systems, or PCS, handsets. The global proliferation of wireless
communication has substantially enhanced the attractiveness of this market for
our products. According to Gartner Group's Dataquest, the worldwide market for
cellular/PCS wireless handsets has grown from 18.7 million units produced in
1993 to 175.4 million units in 1998. This represents a compound annual growth
rate of 56%. Dataquest projects that cellular/PCS handset production will exceed
550 million units per year by 2003. In the broadband market we focus on
applications for cable television systems, cable modems and fiber optic
communication systems. We believe the broadband communications market offers
significant growth opportunities driven by the emergence of interactive cable
systems offering increased video content, internet connection services and
telephony and fiber optic networks providing capacity for internet and
communications services. We serve these standards-driven markets with strong
customer relationships, radio frequency/microwave integrated circuit design
expertise, short development and production cycle time and competitive pricing.
We design, develop and manufacture our integrated circuits primarily using
gallium arsenide, or GaAs, semiconductor material, providing our products with
several advantages over products based on silicon. GaAs-based integrated
circuits can operate at three to five times higher frequency, have lower noise
figures, are better at facilitating integration of passive components and are
more power efficient than silicon-based products. The industry transition from
analog to digital data processing has resulted in products that require faster
digital integrated circuits which, in turn, require higher performing analog
interfaces to the outside world. We manufacture integrated circuits using metal
semiconductor field effect transistor, or MESFET, and pseudomorphic high
electron mobility transistor, or PHEMT, technologies and are in the process of
developing products using heterojunction bipolar transistor, or HBT, technology,
which we expect to introduce in the first half of 2000.
We recently began production in our new six-inch analog GaAs wafer
fabrication facility, which we believe to be the first and only six-inch analog
GaAs wafer fabrication facility in our industry. Using a six-inch wafer allows
us to produce, at a small incremental cost, more than twice the integrated
circuit dice per wafer than can be produced from the current industry norm
four-inch wafer. With our strong fabrication capability, significant management
experience and innovative designs, we believe we can rapidly develop products in
line with market requirements.
We believe our competitive advantages are our radio frequency/microwave
integrated circuit design, development and applications expertise, our high
volume, low-cost GaAs technology
1
<PAGE>
manufacturing expertise, as well as our strong working relationships with
leading original equipment manufacturers in each of our target markets. Our
principal customers, based on net sales, include LM Ericsson AB, General
Instrument Corp., Lucent Technologies, Inc., Methode Electronics, Inc., Motorola
Inc., Nortel Ltd., Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. and Toshiba Corp.
Our goal is to become the leading supplier of radio frequency/microwave
integrated circuit solutions for the wireless and broadband markets. The key
elements of our strategy are to:
- be first-to-market with proprietary value-added products that provide
cost-effective integrated circuit solutions;
- capitalize on our world class manufacturing capabilities;
- forge new relationships and leverage existing customer relationships with
original equipment manufacturers; and
- pursue strategic acquisitions and alliances to access and benefit from
complementary technologies.
ANADIGICS was incorporated in Delaware in 1984. Our executive offices are
located at 35 Technology Drive, Warren, New Jersey 07059. Our telephone number

RISK FACTORS
BEFORE PURCHASING SHARES, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS
DESCRIBED BELOW. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCURS, IT COULD
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE
ARE FACING. WE MAY HAVE OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF WHICH WE ARE NOT YET
AWARE OR WHICH WE CURRENTLY BELIEVE ARE IMMATERIAL THAT MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR
BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IN LIGHT OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, THE TRADING
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF THE
MONEY YOU PAID TO BUY OUR COMMON STOCK.
BUSINESS RISKS
WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS AND A LOSS OF OR A DECREASE IN
PURCHASES BY ONE OF THESE CUSTOMERS WOULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
REVENUES.
We receive most of our revenues from a few significant customers. Sales to
Ericsson, General Instrument and Qualcomm Personal Electronics accounted for
16%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of 1996 net sales, and 33%, 13% and 16%,
respectively, of 1997 net sales. Ericsson and General Instrument accounted for
34% and 17%, respectively, of 1998 net sales, and 40% and 21%, respectively, of
net sales during the six month period ended July 4, 1999. No other customer
accounted for greater than 10% of net sales during these periods. Substantially
all of our sales of wireless applications are to Ericsson. Our operating results
have been materially and adversely affected in the past by the failure of
anticipated orders to be realized and by deferrals or cancellations of orders as
a result of changes in customer requirements. If we were to lose Ericsson,
General Instrument or another major customer, or if sales to Ericsson, General
Instrument or another major customer were to decrease materially, our results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected. See "Business--Target
Markets and Products".
OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY OUR FAILURE TO DEVELOP AND MARKET
GAAS HBT TECHNOLOGY.
We are developing GaAs HBT process technology to manufacture power
amplifiers and certain other integrated circuits. Some of our competitors
already offer products using this technology. We are pursuing our development
effort initially with a third party foundry. We hope to begin production of GaAs
HBT products in our own manufacturing facility in the year 2000. We cannot
assure you that our efforts will result in commercially successful GaAs HBT
products in a timely or cost effective manner, if at all. Our in-house design
efforts may be delayed or fail to deliver viable GaAs HBT products. Our third
party foundry may delay or fail to deliver GaAs HBT technology or products to
us. Our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by our
failure to develop this technology. Even if we are successful, our customers may
purchase their GaAs HBT requirements from our competitors.
DECREASES IN OUR CUSTOMERS' SALES VOLUMES COULD RESULT IN DECREASES TO OUR SALES
VOLUMES.
A substantial portion of our sales are derived from sales to original
equipment manufacturers. Where our products are designed into an original
equipment manufacturer's product, our sales volumes depend upon the commercial
success of the original equipment manufacturer's product. Our operating results
have been materially and adversely affected in the past by the failure of
anticipated orders to be realized and by deferrals or cancellations of orders as
a result of changes in demands for our customers' products.
WE WILL NEED TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPID PRODUCT AND PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES TO BE COMPETITIVE.
Rapid changes in both product and process technologies characterize the
markets for our products. Because these technologies are continually improving,
we believe that our future success
4
<PAGE>
will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue to improve our product and
process technologies and develop new products and process technologies. If a
competing technology emerges that is superior to our existing technology and we
are unable to develop and/or implement the new technology successfully or to
develop and implement a competitive and economic alternative technology, our
results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. We will need
to make substantial investments to develop these enhancements and technologies,
and we cannot assure you that funds for these investments will be available or
that these enhancements and technologies will be successful. See
"Business--Competition" and "--Research and Development".
OUR PRODUCTS HAVE EXPERIENCED RAPIDLY DECLINING UNIT PRICES.
In each of the markets where we compete, prices of established products tend
to decline significantly over time. Accordingly, in order to remain competitive,
we believe that we must continue to develop product enhancements and new
technologies that will either slow the price declines of our products or reduce
the cost of producing and delivering our products. If we fail to do so, our
results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
THE VARIABILITY OF OUR MANUFACTURING YIELDS MAY AFFECT OUR GROSS MARGINS.
Our manufacturing yields vary significantly among products, depending on the
complexity of a particular GaAs integrated circuit's design and our experience
in manufacturing that type of GaAs integrated circuit. Although our process
technology uses standard silicon semiconductor manufacturing equipment,
aggregate production quantities of GaAs integrated circuits manufactured by us
and the GaAs integrated circuit industry in general have been relatively low
compared with silicon integrated circuit production volumes. We have in the past
experienced difficulties in achieving planned yields, which have adversely
affected our gross margins.
Regardless of the process technology used, the fabrication of integrated
circuits is a highly complex and precise process. Problems in the fabrication
process can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous
integrated circuits on each wafer to be nonfunctional, thereby reducing yields.
These difficulties can include:
- defects in masks, which are used to transfer circuit patterns onto our
wafers;
- impurities in the materials used;
- contamination of the manufacturing environment; and
- equipment failure.
Because a large portion of our costs of manufacturing are relatively fixed
and average selling prices for our products tend to decline over time, it is
critical for us to improve the number of shippable integrated circuits per wafer
and increase the production volume of wafers in order to maintain and improve
our results of operations. Yield decreases can result in substantially higher
unit costs, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results
and have done so in the past. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
continue to improve yields in the future or that we will not suffer periodic
yield problems, particularly during the early production of new products or
introduction of new process technologies. In either case, our results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. See
"Business--Manufacturing, Assembly and Testing".
DELAYS IN COMPLETING THE TRANSITION OF PRODUCTION FROM OUR FOUR-INCH WAFER
FABRICATION FACILITY TO OUR SIX-INCH WAFER FABRICATION FACILITY COULD RESULT IN
DELAYS IN PRODUCT SHIPMENTS AND A LOSS OF CUSTOMERS AS A RESULT OF SUCH DELAYS.
Some of our customers are currently in the process of qualifying our
six-inch wafer fabrication facility. We expect qualification activities to be
completed by the end of 1999. We cannot assure you that all of our customers
will qualify our products produced in the six-inch wafer fabrication facility.
5
<PAGE>
We also face numerous risks in the successful operation of our new six-inch
wafer fabrication facility as well as in our overall production operations. We
will need to train and manage production personnel successfully in order to
effectively operate our new six-inch wafer fabrication facility.
Our failure to accomplish any of the foregoing could result in delays in
product shipments, adversely affect our relations with our customers and have a
material and adverse effect on our results of operations.
WE MAY FACE CONSTRAINTS ON OUR MANUFACTURING CAPACITY WHICH WOULD LIMIT OUR
ABILITY TO INCREASE SALES VOLUMES.
We believe that our new six-inch wafer fabrication facility should be able
to satisfy our production needs for the next twelve months. However, if
production volumes were to increase significantly from expected levels, we might
be required to hire, train and manage additional production personnel in order
to successfully increase production capacity at this facility. We cannot assure
you that we would be able to implement these changes successfully. A delay for
any reason in capacity increase would limit our ability to increase sales
volumes. In addition, if we fail to increase production and do not have
sufficient capacity to satisfy the demand for our products, our relationships
with customers could be harmed.
WE DEPEND ON FOREIGN SEMICONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY CONTRACTORS AND A LOSS OF AN
ASSEMBLY CONTRACTOR COULD RESULT IN DELAYS OR REDUCTIONS IN PRODUCT SHIPMENT.
We do not assemble our integrated circuits or our multi-chip modules.
Instead, we provide the GaAs integrated circuit dice and, in some cases,
packaging and other components to assembly vendors located primarily in Asia. We
maintain one qualified service supplier for each assembly process. If we are
unable to obtain sufficient high quality and timely assembly service, or if we
lose any of our current assembly vendors, we would experience delays or
reductions in product shipment, and/or reduced product yields that could
materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
WE MAY FACE CONSTRAINTS ON OUR TEST CAPACITY WHICH COULD RESULT IN MANUFACTURING
DELAYS.
We use automated test equipment that is currently in short supply. As a
result, we need to order the test equipment from the manufacturer far in advance
of our anticipated need. We cannot assure you that we can obtain the appropriate
equipment in a timely or cost effective manner. Our inability to obtain
appropriate test equipment in a timely manner could result in manufacturing
delays which would have a material and adverse effect on our results of
operations.
THE SHORT LIFE CYCLES OF SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS MAY LEAVE US WITH OBSOLETE OR
EXCESS INVENTORIES.
The life cycles of some of our products depend heavily upon the life cycles
of the end products into which our products are designed. We estimate that
current life cycles for cellular and PCS telephone handsets, and in turn our
cellular and PCS products, are approximately 12 to 24 months. Products with
short life cycles require us to manage closely production and inventory levels.
We cannot assure you that obsolete or excess inventories, which may result from
unanticipated changes in the estimated total demand for our products and/or the
estimated life cycles of the end products into which our products are designed,
will not affect us. In 1998, we recorded a significant charge for obsolete
inventory. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--1998 Compared to 1997--Gross Margin".
6
<PAGE>
SOURCES FOR CERTAIN COMPONENTS, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT ARE LIMITED WHICH COULD
RESULT IN DELAYS OR REDUCTIONS IN PRODUCT SHIPMENTS.
We do not manufacture any of the starting wafers or packaging components
used in the production of our GaAs integrated circuits. Starting wafers and
packaging components are available from a limited number of sources. If we are
unable to obtain these wafers or components in the required quantities and
quality we could experience delays or reductions in product shipments, which
would materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Although we
have not experienced any significant difficulty to date in obtaining wafers or
components, we cannot assure you that shortages will not arise in the future.
We depend on a limited number of vendors to supply equipment used in our
manufacturing processes. When demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment
is high, lead times for delivery of such equipment can be substantial. We cannot
assure you that we would not lose potential sales if required manufacturing
equipment is unavailable and, as a result, we are unable to maintain or increase
our production levels. See "We may face constraints on our manufacturing
capacity which would limit our ability to increase sales volumes".
OUR INTERNATIONAL SALES AND OPERATIONS INVOLVE FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISKS.
Sales to customers located outside North America (based on shipping
addresses and not on the locations of ultimate end users) accounted for
approximately 65%, 57%, 58% and 61% of total net sales for 1996, 1997, 1998 and
the six month period ended July 4, 1999, respectively. We expect that revenues
derived from international sales will continue to represent a significant
portion of our total net sales. In addition, independent third parties located
in Asia supply a substantial portion of the starting wafers and packaging
components that we use in the production of GaAs integrated circuits, and
assemble nearly all of our products.
Due to our reliance on international sales and on foreign suppliers and
assemblers, we are subject to risks of conducting business outside of the United
States, including primarily those arising from currency fluctuations, which
could affect the price of our products and/or the cost of producing them.
OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY MAKE IT HARDER FOR US TO BE
ACQUIRED WITHOUT THE CONSENT AND COOPERATION OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
MANAGEMENT.
Several provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may
deter or prevent a takeover attempt, including a takeover attempt in which the
potential purchaser offers to pay a per share price greater than the current
market price for our common stock. These provisions include:
- PREFERRED STOCK--our board of directors can issue preferred stock senior
to our common stock at any time. This may make it more difficult and more
expensive to acquire us;
- STAGGERED BOARD--only a minority of the total number of board members can
be elected each year. This may make it more difficult for a potential
purchaser to elect enough directors to assure control of ANADIGICS; and
- STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN--our stockholder rights plan may make it more
difficult and more expensive to acquire us, unless the stockholder rights
are first redeemed by our board.
In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law which restricts business combinations with some stockholders
once the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our common stock.

<PAGE>
INDUSTRY RISKS
WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE OF OUR PRODUCTS'
PRICES AND SALES.
The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and is characterized by
rapid technological change. We compete with manufacturers of discrete GaAs and
silicon semiconductors and with manufacturers of GaAs and silicon integrated
circuits. We expect increased competition from:
- other GaAs integrated circuit manufacturers who may replace us as a single
source supplier to an original equipment manufacturer or otherwise dilute
our sales to an original equipment manufacturer;
- silicon analog integrated circuit manufacturers; and
- companies which may penetrate the radio frequency/microwave integrated
circuit communications market with other technologies, such as those based
on silicon germanium.
In addition, some of our customers compete with us and we have lost business
in the past to this type of competition. We expect that sales of low data rate
fiber optic products used in SONET fiber optic transmissions, could decline
significantly over the next few quarters, as current customers begin to source
their requirements for these products from in-house supply sources.
Increased competition could result in:
- decreased prices of GaAs integrated circuits;
- reduced demand for our products; and
- a reduction in our ability to recover development-engineering costs.
Any of these developments could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations.
Most of our current and potential competitors, which include Alpha
Industries, Inc., Conexant Systems, Inc., Fujitsu Compound Semiconductor Inc.,
Hitachi Ltd., Lucent, Maxim Integrated Products, RF Micro Devices, Inc., Royal
Philips Electronics, N.V., TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. and Vitesse
Semiconductor Corporation, have significantly greater financial, technical,
manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors. See
"Business--Competition".
OUR OPERATING RESULTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY.
The semiconductor industry has been characterized by cyclicality. The
industry has experienced significant economic downturns at times, involving
diminished product demand, accelerated erosion of average selling prices and
production over-capacity. Although the semiconductor industry in general, and
the portion of the industry serving the communications industry in particular,
are currently experiencing a period of increased demand, we cannot assure you
that these conditions will continue. We may experience substantial
period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results. You should not rely
on our operating results for the six months ended July 4, 1999 as an indicator
of our results for the year ending December 31, 1999.
WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN AVOIDING CLAIMS THAT WE INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS OR IN PROTECTING OUR OWN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and copyrights,
maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the
proprietary rights of third parties.
As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have been notified, and may
be notified in the future, that we are infringing certain patent and/or other
intellectual property rights of others. If it is determined that we have
infringed on others' intellectual property rights, we cannot assure you that we
would be able to obtain any required licenses on commercially reasonable terms.
8
<PAGE>
Currently, there are two unresolved notices claiming that we are infringing
intellectual property rights of others. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously
against these allegations. One such assertion is LEMELSON V. ANADIGICS, ET AL.,
brought against Lucent Technologies, Cypress Semiconductor, LSI Logic and a
number of other companies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona
in February 1999. The other is an assertion by Rockwell International
Corporation that we are infringing upon a patent on the processing of
semiconductor wafers. The patent will expire in March 2000.
In addition to patent and copyright protection, we also rely on trade
secrets, technical know-how and other unpatented proprietary information
relating to our product development and manufacturing activities which we seek
to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our collaborators and
employees. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that
we would have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets and
proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or independently discovered
by others. See "Business--Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights" and "--Legal
Matters".
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We were organized in 1984 and initially focused on the development and
manufacture of GaAs integrated circuits for low volume defense and aerospace
applications. In 1988 we began shifting our strategy to focus on radio
frequency/microwave communications systems for high volume applications, and
began production for these applications in 1989. In 1992 we introduced
integrated circuits for cable television. In late 1994 we entered the wireless
communications market with the introduction of cellular telephone integrated
circuits. In 1998 we expanded our fiber optic product offerings with the
introduction of transimpedence amplifiers for the gigabit ethernet market.
In the next few years, we believe there are opportunities to develop
integrated circuits in silicon or silicon germanium which would enhance our GaAs
integrated circuits in modules. The recently established RF Standard Products
Group at ANADIGICS will be exploring the use of these technologies in the
wireless application.
We strive to achieve market advantage through application of radio
frequency/microwave design and application knowledge. With our design expertise
we have led the industry with the introduction of innovative products. Recent
examples include dual-band power amplifiers for use in wireless handsets, cable
television 256 QAM upconverters, and cable television reverse amplifiers, all of
which offer greater levels of product performance and reduce original equipment
manufacturers' production costs.
We aim to achieve cost advantage through the scale and efficiency of our
manufacturing operations. We recently began production in our new six-inch
analog GaAs wafer fabrication facility, which we believe to be the first and
only six-inch analog GaAs wafer fabrication facility in our industry. Using a
six-inch wafer allows us to produce, at a small incremental cost, more than
twice the integrated circuit dice per wafer than can be produced from the
industry norm four-inch wafer.

SIX MONTHS 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS 1998
NET SALES. Net sales during the six month period ended July 4, 1999
increased 34% to $55.6 million from $41.5 million in the six month period ended
June 28, 1998. Sales of integrated circuits for cellular and PCS applications
increased 36% during the six month period ended July 4, 1999 to $22.5 million
from $16.5 million in the six month period ended June 28, 1998 as demand for our
dual-band power amplifiers increased.
Sales of integrated circuits for cable and broadcast applications increased
25% during the six month period ended July 4, 1999 to $20.5 million from $16.4
million in the six month period ended June 28, 1998. Included in the sales of
integrated circuits for cable and broadcast applications are sales of low noise
block converters (which we ceased production of during the third quarter of
1998) of $0.7 million and $2.8 million during the six month period ended July 4,
1999 and June 28, 1998, respectively. The increase in sales of integrated
circuits for cable and broadcast applications during the six month period ended
July 4, 1999 was due to increases in demand for our chip sets used in digital
set-top converters and cable modems, and our line amplifiers used as a repeater
in cable television distribution networks.
Sales of integrated circuits for fiber optic telecommunication and data
communication applications increased 52% during the six month period ended July
4, 1999 to $12.5 million from $8.2 million in the six month period ended June
28, 1998 as demand for transimpedence amplifiers for SONET fiber optic
telecommunications applications and data communication applications increased.
We expect increased competition from internally sourced silicon integrated
circuits at certain of our customers for SONET OC-12 and OC-24 fiber optic
transimpedence amplifiers. Increased competition could result in decreased
prices of our integrated circuits and/or reduced demand for our products. Sales
of SONET OC-12 and OC-24 fiber optic transimpedence amplifiers were
approximately $4.5 million during the first half of 1999.
Engineering service sales, which reflect customers' contributions to
research and development, decreased $0.3 million during the six month period
ended July 4, 1999 to $0.1 million from $0.4 million in the six month period
ended June 28, 1998.
Generally, selling prices for same product sales were lower during the six
month period ended July 4, 1999 compared to the six month period ended June 28,
1998.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during the six month period ended July 4, 1999
declined to 35.0% from 35.8% in the six month period ended June 28, 1998.
Excluding the accelerated depreciation expense of $5.3 million, gross margin
during the six month period ended July 4, 1999 was 44.5%. The accelerated
depreciation expense was due to a reduction in the useful lives of the
fabrication facility equipment and leasehold improvements with original lives
ranging from five to twenty years that were reduced to a life of nine months
beginning October 1, 1998. The reduction in estimated useful life followed our
October 1998 decision to close our four-inch wafer fabrication facility. The
accelerated depreciation expense associated with the closing of our four-inch
wafer fabrication facility that was recorded during the first half of 1999, was
mostly offset by increased sales volume, manufacturing cost structure
improvements and improved yields.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. ANADIGICS-funded research and development expense
increased 23% during the six month period ended July 4, 1999 to $12.0 million
from $9.8 million in the six month period ended June 28, 1998. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased research and development (1) of integrated
circuits for cellular and PCS, cable television and fiber optic applications and
(2) of new process technologies. As a percent of sales, ANADIGICS-funded
research and development decreased to 21.6% during the six month period ended
July 4, 1999 from 23.5% in the six month period ended June 28, 1998.
15
<PAGE>
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased
37% during the six month period ended July 4, 1999 to $8.7 million from $6.4
million in the six month period ended June 28, 1998. The increase was due in
part to increases in performance-related compensation costs, consulting fees and
costs related to our marketing activities. As a percentage of sales, selling and
administrative expenses increased to 15.7% during the six month period ended
July 4, 1999 from 15.5% in the six month period ended June 28, 1998.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. During the first quarter of 1998, we recorded a
charge of $1.1 million associated with a reduction in staff of 100 employees.
The employees who were involuntarily terminated were notified, received
information regarding their benefit arrangement and were severed on March 2,
1998. The terminated employees represented all areas of our operations,
including production, research and development, and selling and administrative
areas. The reduction in work force charge primarily consisted of severance pay,
extended medical coverage and outplacement service costs. The $1.1 million was
paid during 1998.
INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income, net decreased 19% during the six
month period ended July 4, 1999 to $1.0 million from $1.2 million in the six
month period ended June 28, 1998.
PROVISION FOR LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. We recorded a provision for litigation
settlement of $6.9 million during the second quarter of 1999, as we reached an
agreement in principle with the plaintiffs' counsel to settle a consolidated
class action lawsuit and a derivative lawsuit. The $6.9 million provision
consists of an expected payment of $11.75 million offset by insurance proceeds
of $5.3 million, and $0.4 million of additional legal, settlement, notification
and court related fees, of which $0.2 million was paid as of July 4, 1999.
BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. The benefit for income taxes during the six month
period ended July 4, 1999 was recorded at an estimated annual effective tax rate
of 37.0% of the loss before income taxes.
1998 COMPARED TO 1997
NET SALES. Net sales during 1998 decreased 16% to $86.1 million from $102.5
million in 1997. Net sales consist of product sales and engineering service
sales. Net product sales decreased 15% to $85.4 million in 1998 from $101.0 in
1997. Engineering service sales, which reflect customers' contributions to
research and development, decreased 54% during 1998 to $0.7 million from $1.5
million in 1997.
Sales of integrated circuits for cellular and PCS applications decreased 44%
during 1998 to $33.7 million from $59.7 million during 1997. The lower demand
was due to several factors, including increased competition, a shift in demand
to lower cost phones not using our parts, customer delays in ramp-up of new
generation dual-band phones using our new parts, and in part, the effect of the
Asian financial crisis on the wireless communications markets.
Sales of integrated circuits for cable and broadcast applications increased
36% during 1998 to $28.3 million from $20.8 million in 1997. The increase in
sales of integrated circuits for cable and broadcast applications during 1998
was due to increases in demand for our integrated circuits used in digital
set-top converters and cable modems, and our integrated circuit line amplifier
used as a repeater in hybrid fiber coaxial distribution networks.
Sales of integrated circuits for fiber optic telecommunication and data
communication applications increased 53% during 1998 to $17.6 million from $11.5
million in 1997. The increase was primarily due to an increase in demand for
transimpedence amplifiers for SONET fiber optic telecommunications applications
and sales of a new family of integrated circuits for data
16
<PAGE>
communication applications. ANADIGICS expects increased price competition for
lower data rate fiber optic telecommunications products from other silicon-based
solution providers during 1999.
Sales of integrated circuits for direct broadcast satellite applications
decreased 36% during 1998 to $5.7 million from $9.0 million in 1997. During the
third quarter of 1998, we decided to cease production of our low noise block
converter integrated circuits that were used in direct broadcast satellite
applications because of reduced demand for low noise block converter integrated
circuits and the effects of the Asian financial crisis.
Generally, selling prices for same product sales were lower during 1998
compared to 1997.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during 1998 declined to 23.1% from 45.3% in
1997. The reduction in gross margin was primarily due to increased inventory
reserves totalling $13.8 million, including a special charge of $6.6 million
(substantially all of which was scrapped prior to December 31, 1998) and
accelerated depreciation charges (related to the planned closing of our existing
wafer fabrication facility) of $2.7 million that were recorded during 1998. The
inventory special charges (which were primarily work-in-progress and finished
goods) consisted of the following: $3.4 million of older generation, single-band
power amplifier integrated circuits used in cellular applications, $2.1 million
of low noise block converter integrated circuits used in direct broadcast
satellite applications, and $1.1 million of older generation line amplifiers
used in cable television applications. ANADIGICS was aggressively attempting to
sell these integrated circuits in certain markets (primarily secondary
communications markets in Asia). ANADIGICS experienced limited success in
selling these integrated circuits during 1998 and reevaluated our selling
efforts and the potential markets for these products during 1998. Based upon
this reevaluation, we decided during the third quarter of 1998 that we would
curtail our efforts to sell these products.
The remaining portion of the reserves recorded during 1998 of $7.2 million
(which were primarily work-in-progress and finished goods) consists of inventory
reserves for excess or obsolete inventory which were recorded based upon the
Company's on-going analysis of its inventory during 1998.
We are currently not aware of any known or expected additional inventory
reserves.
Lower factory utilization and higher fixed costs associated with our new
test and manufacturing administration facilities placed into service during the
second quarter of 1998 also contributed to the reduction in gross margin during
1998, compared to 1997.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. ANADIGICS-funded research and development
expenses increased 12% during 1998 to $18.8 million from $16.8 million in 1997.
The increase was primarily attributable to increased research and development of
integrated circuits for fiber optic and cellular and PCS applications. As a
percent of sales, ANADIGICS-funded research and development increased to 21.9%
during 1998 from 16.4% in 1997.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased
6% during 1998 to $12.9 million from $12.1 million in 1997. The increase was due
in part to executive relocation costs, an increase in operating costs associated
with our information systems, and other consulting costs. As a percentage of
sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 15.0% during 1998 from
11.8% in 1997.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. In connection with our plan to lower manufacturing
costs and streamline our manufacturing operations, we recorded restructuring
charges totaling $7.1 million during 1998. The restructuring charges consisted
of writedowns of impaired assets of $4.5 million, reductions in force of $1.6
million and wafer fabrication facility shutdown and removal costs of $1.0
million.
17
<PAGE>
WRITEDOWNS OF IMPAIRED ASSETS. We evaluated the on-going value of certain
assets. Based upon our plan to dispose of certain assets with a carrying amount
of $4.6 million and our estimate of sales value, net of related costs to sell,
at $0.1 million, we recorded an impairment loss of $4.5 million, which consisted
of the following items (in millions):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Write-down of assets associated with the conversion of the new wafer fabrication
facility from four-inch to six-inch wafers......................................... $ 2.2
Write-down of assets associated with the closure of our in-house assembly

</TABLE>
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. We recorded charges of $1.1 million during the first
quarter of 1998 and $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 1998 associated
with reductions in our workforce. The workforce reduction charges primarily
consisted of severance pay, extended medical coverage and outplacement service
costs for approximately 165 employees primarily involved in our production
operations. Approximately $1.1 million of severance pay, extended medical
coverage, and outplacement service costs were paid through December 31, 1998 for
the termination of approximately 120 employees. We expect to pay the remaining
liability of $0.5 million during the first half of 1999.
FACILITY SHUTDOWN AND REMOVAL COSTS. We recorded charges of $1.0 million
associated with the shutdown and removal of our existing wafer fabrication
facility. See "Business--Manufacturing, Assembly and Testing".
INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income, net decreased 29% during 1998 to
$2.3 million from $3.2 million in 1997. The reduction in interest income, net of
$0.9 million was primarily due to a lower amount of investments during 1998,
caused by plant and equipment purchases that were primarily for our new wafer
fabrication facility, compared to 1997.
BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. We recorded a benefit for income taxes during
1998 of $7.2 million, or 42.9% of the loss before income taxes. The benefit for
income taxes primarily related to the 1998 federal and state net operating
losses, federal and state research and development credits and state
manufacturing credits, all of which we plan to carry forward.
1997 COMPARED TO 1996
NET SALES. Net sales during 1997 increased 49% to $102.5 million from $68.9
million in 1996. Net sales consist of product sales and engineering service
sales. Net product sales increased 54% to $101.0 million from $65.7 million in
1996. Engineering service sales decreased 51% during 1997 to $1.5 million from
$3.2 million in 1996.
Sales of integrated circuits for cellular and PCS applications increased
144% during 1997 to $59.7 million from $24.5 million in 1996 as a result of
higher volumes. During 1997, we sold power amplifier integrated circuits for all
three major wireless digital standards, including GSM, TDMA and CDMA. As a
percentage of total sales, sales of integrated circuits for the GSM, TDMA and
CDMA frequency bands were approximately 37%, 24% and 28%, respectively in 1997.
Sales of integrated circuits for cable television applications in 1997 increased
51% to $20.8 million from $13.8 million in 1996 as demand for integrated
circuits used in set top converters and cable modems increased.
Sales of integrated circuits for fiber optic SONET, SDH and asynchronous
transfer mode telecommunication applications decreased 1% during 1997 to $11.5
million from $11.6 million in 1996. Sales of integrated circuits for DBS
television applications decreased 43% during 1997 to
18
<PAGE>
$9.0 million from $15.8 million in 1996 as demand from European manufacturers of
direct broadcast satellite equipment for the European market decreased.
Generally, selling prices for same product sales were lower in 1997 compared
to 1996.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin during 1997 increased to 45.3% from 43.5% in
1996. The increase was due to manufacturing efficiencies, which resulted in part
from the conversion from three-inch wafers used in 1996 to four-inch wafers used
during 1997, higher production volume and improved production yields. These
factors were partially offset by additional costs associated with assembly and
packaging quality problems on certain products that were incurred during the
fourth quarter of 1997 and a shift in sales mix to lower margin products during
1997 compared to 1996.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses we sponsored
increased 39% during 1997 to $16.8 million from $12.0 million during 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased research and development of
integrated circuits for cellular, PCS and other wireless applications. As a
percentage of sales, these expenses declined to 16.4% during 1997 from 17.5%
during 1996.
During 1997, approximately two-thirds of our research and development
expenses were for the development of integrated circuits for cellular, PCS and
other wireless applications, compared to approximately one-half in 1996.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased
48% during 1997 to $12.1 million from $8.2 million during 1996. As a percentage
of sales, these expenses declined during 1997 to 11.8% from 11.9% during 1996.
Administrative expenses increased 64% in 1997 due in part to increased
compensation, recruiting and training costs. Selling expenses increased by 32%
in 1997 due to staffing increases primarily associated with the expansion of our
wireless integrated circuit sales efforts, increased consulting fees and
increased sales commission expense.
INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income increased $1.7 million during 1997 to
$3.4 million from $1.7 million during 1996. The increase was due to higher
invested cash balances following the receipt of proceeds from the public
offering of our common stock in February, 1997. Interest expense decreased by
$0.2 during 1997 to $0.2 million from $0.4 million during 1996 on lower levels
of indebtedness.
PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes during
1997 was $5.4 million, or 26.2% of pre-tax income. The benefit for income taxes
in 1996 was $0.9 million, or 8% of pre-tax income. The provision for income
taxes in 1997 included a $1.9 million reduction in the valuation allowance,
which is explained below, which had been recorded prior to 1997 with respect to
deferred tax assets (primarily federal net operating loss net operating loss
carryforwards). The benefit for income taxes in 1996 arose from a $5.2 million
reduction in the valuation allowance, which had been recorded prior to 1996 with
respect to deferred tax assets (primarily net operating loss carryforwards).
As of December 31, 1996, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately
$15.7 million, which primarily consisted of federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $12.6 million and general business credit carryforwards of $0.8
million. A valuation allowance of $10.8 million was provided for the federal net
operating loss and general business credit carryforwards as of December 31,
1996. As of December 31, 1997, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately
$3.5 million and no valuation allowance.
The reductions in the net deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance
from 1996 to 1997 primarily resulted from: (1) our determination that certain
pre-1989 federal net operating loss and general business credit carryforwards
that were severely restricted under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
would not be utilized prior to their expiration, and (2) the results of an
Internal
19
<PAGE>
Revenue Service examination completed in 1997 which resolved uncertainties
regarding possible limitations of federal net operating loss carryforwards and
general business credit carryforwards generated between 1989 and 1992. We had
been providing taxes in 1996 and prior years as if the use of these federal net
operating loss and general business carryforwards were restricted.
The reduction in the pre-1989 net operating loss and general business credit
carryforwards noted above had no effect on net income. The reduction in the
federal net operating loss and general business credit carryforwards generated
between 1989 and 1992 resulted in a reduction of the current federal provision
for income tax expense. The effect of this reduction was an increase in net
income in 1997 of approximately $1.9 million.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
As of July 4, 1999, we had $25.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$18.3 million in marketable securities. We have $4.5 million of bank debt
outstanding as of the end of the second quarter of 1999. We entered into an
interest rate swap agreement, which effectively fixes the interest rate on this
debt at 7.09%. The swap effectively changed the variable interest rate of this
bank debt to a fixed rate for which the present value of the cash flow is
approximately the same. As of the end of the second quarter of 1999, we also
have available $15.0 million under a term loan facility. The term loan facility
drawdown period expires on July 1, 2001. The outstanding bank debt and the term
loan facility are subject to a number of financial covenants. Substantially all
of our assets are pledged as security for repayments of the outstanding bank
debt and borrowings, if any, under the term loan facility.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.1 million during the six
month period ended July 4, 1999.
Net cash used in investing activities (to purchase equipment) was $9.8
million during the six month period ended July 4, 1999.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million during the six
month period ended July 4, 1999. Cash provided by financing activities was
primarily from the issuance of our common stock from stock options exercised
during the period.
We expect to spend approximately $30.0 million on equipment, furniture and
fixtures and leasehold improvements during the twelve month period ending June
30, 2000. At July 4, 1999, we have committed to purchase approximately $7.5
million of equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements through
the remainder of 1999.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalent balances, together with
cash anticipated to be generated from operations and the equity offering
described in this prospectus will satisfy anticipated capital needs for the next
twelve months and beyond.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of our computer
programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may
recognize a date using "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, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities.
Our year 2000 initiative is being managed by a senior team of internal staff
and outside consultants. The team's activities are designed to ensure that there
is no adverse effect on our core business operations and that transactions with
customers, suppliers, and financial institutions are fully supported.
20
<PAGE>
Over the past year, we have invested in new computer hardware and software
to improve our business operations. To date we have upgraded the majority of our
critical information systems such that they are now year 2000 ready. Remaining
critical systems are on target for their year 2000 upgrades at the end of
September 1999. As a result of this effort, we do not believe that any year
2000-related failures of critical systems will cause a significant interruption
to our business.
We have also completed a comprehensive review of our equipment and
facilities. Based on this review, we do not believe that any year 2000-related
failures of critical systems will result in a significant disruption to our
business. A number of minor upgrades will be completed by the end of September
1999.
The total cost of the year 2000 project is estimated at $1.6 million and is
being funded through operating cash flows. Of the total project cost,
approximately $1.0 million is for the purchase of new hardware and software,
which will be capitalized. To date, we have spent approximately $0.8 million on
hardware and software purchases and the remaining amount represents equipment
purchases expected to be delivered and installed during the third quarter of
1999. To date, we have incurred and expensed approximately $0.4 million,
primarily for assessment of the year 2000 issue, development of a modification
plan and remediation efforts. The remaining $0.2 million is expected to be
incurred and expensed in the third quarter of 1999.
We have contacted our material customers, our significant suppliers, and
other third party vendors with which we have a material relationship in order to
determine whether those entities have adequate plans in place to ensure their
year 2000 readiness. To date, we have not identified any major issues with
respect to our material customers, our significant suppliers or other third
party vendors.
We believe that a "worst case" scenario would involve third parties'
failures to address year 2000 issues. Such failures could result in, but not
limited to, any of the following:
(1) Our utility services are interrupted resulting in our inability to
continue our manufacturing operations
(2) Our shipping services are interrupted preventing us from getting our
product to and from our off-shore packaging facility and to our customers
on a timely basis
(3) Our off-shore assembly contractors operations are interrupted resulting
in our inability to obtain our packaged products on a timely basis
As of July 4, 1999, we have not developed an overall contingency plan. We do
not intend on doing so unless, as a result of ongoing tests, we determine that
contingency plans are warranted. Based on our assessment to date and our
expectations that our year 2000 initiative will be substantially complete by the
end of September 1999, we believe that adequate time will be available to ensure
alternatives can be assessed, developed and implemented, if necessary, prior to
a year 2000 issue having a negative impact on our operations. However, we can
not guarantee that such contingencies, if required, will be completed on a
timely basis. While we believe our efforts will be adequate to address our year
2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience
unanticipated negative consequences or material costs caused by undetected
errors or defects in the technology used in our internal systems or that third
parties upon which we rely will not experience similar negative consequences.
Our products do not have specific date functions or date dependencies and
will operate according to specifications through the year 2000 and beyond.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The
21
<PAGE>
statement permits early adoption as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after
its issuance. We expect to adopt the new statement effective January 1, 2001.
The statement will require us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against
the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment
through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. We do not anticipate
that the adoption of this statement will have a significant effect on our
results of operations or financial position.

BUSINESS
We supply radio frequency/microwave integrated circuit solutions to the
communications industry, enabling manufacturers to enhance overall system
performance and reduce manufacturing cost and time to market. In the wireless
market we focus on applications for cellular and personal communications systems
handsets. In the broad band market we focus on applications (or solutions) for
cable television systems, cable modems and fiber optic communications systems.
We believe our competitive advantages are our design, development and
applications expertise, our high volume, low cost GaAs technology manufacturing
expertise and our strong working relationships with leading original equipment
manufacturers in our target markets.
We design, develop and manufacture our integrated circuits primarily using
GaAs semiconductor material with MESFET and PHEMT technology. We are currently
in the process of developing products using HBT technology, which we believe
will reduce design complexity and power usage for our next-generation power
amplifiers. We recently began production in our new six-inch analog GaAs wafer
fabrication facility, which we believe to be the first and only six-inch analog
GaAs wafer fabrication facility in our industry. Using a six-inch wafer allows
us to produce, at a small incremental cost, more than twice the integrated
circuit dice per wafer than can be produced from the industry norm four-inch
wafer. With our strong fabrication capability, significant management expertise
and innovative designs, we believe we can rapidly develop products in line with
market requirements.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Over the last decade there have been remarkable developments in electronic
communications, as evidenced by the emergence of wireless communications,
internet services and digital television services. Radio frequency/microwave and
integrated circuit technologies have enabled increases in communications
capacity and significant reductions in systems costs. The wireless and broadband
communications markets are beneficiaries of current technological trends,
including higher frequencies, digital modulation and higher levels of electronic
integration.
Wireless communications, led by cellular and PCS telephone services, are
growing rapidly and wireless services are replacing wire line telephone services
in some markets. According to Gartner Group's Dataquest, the worldwide market
for cellular/PCS wireless handsets has grown from 18.7 million units produced in
1993 to 175.4 million units in 1998. This represents a compound annual growth
rate of 56%. Dataquest projects that cellular/PCS handset production will exceed
550 million units per year in 2003.
Broadband markets are also benefiting from these technological changes.
Cable television systems are moving from one-way analog TV signal distribution
systems to interactive digital systems offering increased and new video content,
internet connection services and telephony. The increased demand for
communication services, such as the internet, is also driving expansion of fiber
optic telecommunications networks.
Given these developments, original equipment manufacturers are facing the
following challenges:
- SHORTER CYCLE TIMES. In the wireless communications market, handset
manufacturers must bring new products to market quickly in order to
maintain their market position. We see new handset platforms being
introduced every six months;
- NEED FOR LOW-COST PRODUCTS. Handset and set-top boxes are increasingly
becoming consumer-driven products. The wide use of these products forces
original equipment manufacturers to offer them at attractive prices. As a
result, suppliers of components must be cost effective in order for
original equipment manufacturers to stay competitive; and
23
<PAGE>
- STRONGER SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS. The digital, wireless, cable and fiber
optic industries are standards driven. Companies in the communications
industry must work very closely with their suppliers in order to develop
new products. Companies therefore limit themselves to a small number of
suppliers in order to keep their competitive advantages.
THE GAAS ADVANTAGE
Over the past fourteen years, through our research and development efforts,
we have developed expertise in producing cost-effective GaAs-based integrated
circuits for high-volume commercial applications which offer the performance
attributes required for radio frequency/ microwave applications that are not
easily obtainable with silicon-based integrated circuits. GaAs transistors can
operate at frequencies up to three to five times greater than those possible
with silicon and therefore can handle the requirements of radio
frequency/microwave applications. GaAs integrated circuits have a lower noise
figure than silicon-based integrated circuits, providing increased sensitivity,
less distortion and interference and better dynamic range, thereby enabling
systems to handle a wide range of signal strengths. GaAs is a semi-insulating
material which facilitates integration of the passive components required in
radio frequency/microwave applications. Finally, GaAs integrated circuits used
in transmitter applications are also more power-efficient than silicon-based
circuits, allowing for longer battery life or use of smaller batteries.
In addition, we believe there are opportunities to develop integrated
circuits in silicon or silicon germanium which would enhance our GaAs integrated
circuits in modules. Further we believe some of these integrated circuits may
have significant market potential as stand alone integrated circuits. The
recently established RF Standard Products Group at ANADIGICS will be exploring
the use of these technologies in the wireless application. We do not intend to
manufacture in either of these technologies as we believe there will be adequate
foundry capacity available.
OUR STRATEGY
Our objective is to be the leading supplier of radio frequency integrated
circuits for the wireless and broadband communications markets. The cornerstone
of our strategy is to capitalize on opportunities in the wireless and broadband
communications markets by addressing applications which leverage our radio
frequency integrated circuit design and manufacturing expertise and our
established relationships with leading original equipment manufacturers in these
markets. The key elements of our strategy are to:
BE FIRST-TO-MARKET WITH PROPRIETARY VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS
We intend to continue to design timely, cost-effective integrated circuit
solutions for our target markets. The combination of our experienced engineering
staff and our "quick-turn" wafer fabrication and assembly service allows us to
develop prototypes that can be ready for testing in less than one month. This
design efficiency contributes to customer satisfaction and allows us to improve
product designs rapidly for manufacturing efficiency. For example, we were the
first manufacturer to offer an integrated circuit chip set for tuner
applications in cable television set-top boxes. We were also the first
manufacturer to offer a dual-band power amplifier that combines the functions of
two power amplifiers for cellular telephones into a single integrated circuit.
CAPITALIZE ON OUR WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES
We will continue to focus on improving manufacturing performance and
customer service, while reducing costs. We believe that we can effectively
control the critical phases of our production process in order to realize high
manufacturing yields, product quality and customer satisfaction. A key element
of our manufacturing strategy is our new six-inch fabrication facility. We
believe this new facility will provide increased manufacturing capacities at a
low incremental cost and will allow us to maintain short cycle times.
24
<PAGE>
FORGE STRONG CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
We have developed strong working relationships with our customers, many of
whom are leading original equipment manufacturers in their markets. Because our
target markets are standards-driven, customer relationships are important. We
have been working with Ericsson on wireless handsets since 1994 and with General
Instrument on set-top boxes since 1992. These relationships provide us with
product development opportunities and the ability to anticipate future market
needs. The rapid feedback we receive from customers during the product design
phase increases the likelihood that our products will meet our customers' cost
and performance requirements.
PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS AND ALLIANCES
We intend to pursue strategic acquisitions and alliances to expand and
improve upon our technologies, industry expertise, products and market share. We
expect that our alliances and acquisitions will be complementary to our current
businesses and will enhance our ability to work with leading original equipment
manufacturers to develop next generation solutions. We have formed strategic
alliances with several firms to accelerate our capabilities in our core wireless
and broadband markets. For example, we entered into an agreement with Global
Communication Semiconductors, Inc. to develop HBT products, which we anticipate
will accelerate our introduction of GaAs HBT products to the first half of 2000.
We also entered into an agreement with TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH to develop HBT
products suitable for fabrication with silicon germanium.
TARGET MARKETS AND PRODUCTS
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. The wireless communications market is a growing,
dynamic market as a result of increasing demand for:
- portable voice and data communications;
- smaller, lighter, less expensive handsets;
- reliable access and voice quality comparable to land lines; and
- longer talktime and standby time.
Our radio frequency integrated circuit products are used in transmitters and
receivers of cellular and PCS handsets where small size, multi-band operation
and low power consumption are key features. In the United States, there are two
primary digital cellular standards, TDMA and CDMA. GSM is the most widely
deployed digital standard in the world with a high degree of acceptance in
Europe and Asia. In addition, some GSM systems have been deployed in North
America. We currently provide power amplifiers primarily for the TDMA and GSM
standards and plan to introduce power amplifiers for the CDMA standard in 2000.
We also offer infrastructure products for the GSM standard.
We are actively developing single- and multi-band HBT power amplifier
modules for all major digital standards. HBT technology offers high efficiency
and low power consumption, and will allow our customers to build the transmitter
section of the wireless handset more easily and more quickly by reducing design
complexity and component counts. Initially we are developing our HBT products
using an external foundry. We intend to begin production of HBT wafers in our
own manufacturing facilities in the first half of 2000. We are also developing a
family of standard radio frequency switches targeting handset applications using
both GaAs MESFET and PHEMT technologies. We believe that the market for radio
frequency/microwave switches will grow rapidly with the move to multi-band,
multi-mode handsets.
25

Our principal customer in the wireless market is Ericsson. Ericsson
accounted for 16%, 33%, 34% and 40% of net sales during 1996, 1997, 1998 and the
six month period ended July 4, 1999, respectively. The following table sets

CABLE TELEVISION/CABLE MODEMS. The trends that currently drive product
development in the cable television and cable modem markets are:
- shift to digital cable television with interactive services;
- demand for internet access; and
- the emergence of cable telephony.
The convergence of these trends, enabled by digital transmission, creates
the need for innovative radio frequency integrated circuits for cable television
and cable modem applications.
Our cable products are used in cable modem, cable television set-top box and
cable television infrastructure applications. Cable television systems which
traditionally delivered one way analog television programming, limited to a few
channels, are increasingly used to deliver a wide array of interactive video and
other services, such as high speed internet access and telephony. In order to
support these new applications, cable system operators must upgrade the
bandwidth (i.e., capacity) of both the infrastructure and terminal equipment.
The new equipment must also be able to handle digital as well as analog
modulations.
For cable modems and cable television set-top boxes we currently offer tuner
integrated circuits which can receive analog and digital signals in the 50-860
megahertz frequency band. Our reverse amplifiers are used in cable modems and in
cable set-top boxes which require a reverse path to provide interactivity. These
tuner and reverse amplifier integrated circuits enable our customers to
accelerate and simplify their designs, and reduce manufacturing complexity and
26
<PAGE>
costs. We are actively engaged in developing integrated multi-chip double
conversion tuner modules. We expect that these modules will be cost-competitive
with single conversion tuners and will provide improved performance for cable
modem and other single-conversion tuner applications.
We have also developed GaAs integrated circuit line amplifiers for use by
operators in 50-860 megahertz cable television distribution systems. We have
recently expanded our product offerings in this area by introducing line
amplifiers which operate at 24 volts.

Motorola, Scientific-Atlanta and 3Com, Inc. In addition, we have been selected
by Cisco Systems for their Global Alliance cable modem design. The Global
Alliance includes customers such as Samsung and Sony.
FIBER OPTIC MARKET. Growth in the fiber optic market is being driven by:
- the rapid increase in data traffic driven by internet use;
- the increasing implementation of corporate local area networks which
require high speed data transfer capability; and
- the ongoing upgrade of existing telecommunication and data communication
systems with fiber optic systems.
Fiber optic telecommunications systems use low loss fiber optic cable to
link central office switches with one another and to connect the central office
to the serving area. Most telecommunication networks today are based on SONET
(United States and Japan) or SDH (Europe) standards. These standards require
high sensitivity, high bandwidth, and wide dynamic range receivers.
27
<PAGE>
The front end of most fiber optic receivers contains a photodetector and a
transimpedance amplifier. Our transimpedance amplifier integrated circuits are
used in both fiber optic telecommunications and data communications networks.
Our GaAs integrated circuit transimpedance amplifiers are designed to meet the
requirements of SONET systems covering data speeds of OC-3, OC-12, OC-24 and
OC-48. We also sell products for use in the growing DWDM systems. We are
currently developing GaAs PHEMT-based next generation transimpedance amplifiers
specifically for DWDM and 3 volt applications. For data communications receivers
we sell integrated photodiode and transimpedance amplifier products for the
short wavelength (850 nanometer) and long wavelength (1300 nanometer) gigabit
ethernet application. We are developing higher speed (2.5 gigabits per second)
receiver products for the gigabit ethernet market in anticipation of increased
data speeds.
Fiber optic data communications systems use either fibre channel or gigabit
ethernet standards to achieve high-speed data transfer. Gigabit ethernet
standards are emerging as the most widely used standard in local area networking
situations. It addresses the need for very fast transfers of large volumes of
information and is effective in applications where large blocks of data must be
transferred within buildings and over short distances. We believe that demand
for gigabit ethernet solutions will grow substantially over the next few years.

Our principal customers in the fiber optic market are Hewlett-Packard,
Lucent, Methode and Nortel.
SILICON AND SILICON GERMANIUM PRODUCTS
We believe there are opportunities to develop integrated circuits in silicon
or silicon germanium which would enhance our GaAs integrated circuits in
modules. Further, we believe some of these integrated circuits may have
significant market potential as stand alone integrated circuits. The recently
established RF Standard Products Group at ANADIGICS will be exploring the use of
these technologies in the wireless application. We do not intend to manufacture
in either of these technologies as we believe there will be adequate foundry
capacity available.
MARKETING, SALES, DISTRIBUTION AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
We sell our products primarily directly to our customers worldwide. We have
developed close working relationships with leading companies in the broadband
and wireless communications markets. During 1999, we are undertaking a major
initiative to expand our field sales force to provide local support to our
customers. We believe this is critical to our objective of expanding our
customer base, especially as we expand our product portfolio. We also
selectively use independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors to
complement our direct sales and customer support efforts.
28
<PAGE>
We believe that the technical nature of our products and markets demands an
extraordinary commitment to close relationships with our customers. The sales
and marketing staff, assisted by the technical staff and senior management,
visit prospective and existing customers worldwide on a regular basis, and
between visits both field and factory sales personnel communicate regularly with
our customers. We believe that these contacts are vital to the development of
close long-term working relationships with our customers, and in obtaining
regular forecasts, market updates and information regarding technical and market
trends.
Our design and applications engineering staff is actively involved with
customers during all phases of design and production by publishing and providing
our customers with engineering data, up-to-date product application notes,
communicating with our customers' engineers on a regular basis and assisting in
resolving technical problems by working with our customers' engineers both on
and off site. In most cases the design and applications engineers obtain
prototypes from our customers in order to troubleshoot and identify potential
improvements to the design in parallel with our customers' efforts. This
strategy helps our customers speed up their design process, achieve
cost-effective and manufacturable designs, and ensure a smooth transition into
high volume production.
Our policy is to provide our customers with applications engineering support
at our customers' factories throughout the world, generally within 48 hours of a
customer request. Our sales are typically made pursuant to customer purchase
orders, and such orders may be canceled by our customers without penalty.
MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY AND TESTING
We have begun to fabricate our integrated circuits in our six-inch diameter
GaAs wafer fabrication facility in our new class 100 cleanroom in Warren, New
Jersey. Present production capacity is approximately 14,500 six-inch diameter
analog GaAs wafers per year. We are in the process of closing our existing
four-inch wafer fabrication facility. With additional equipment and staffing,
the six-inch fabrication facility could run up to approximately 26,000 six-inch
wafers per year. See "Risk Factors--We may face constraints on our manufacturing
capacity which would limit our ability to increase sales volumes" and "--Delays
in completing the transition of production from our four-inch wafer fabrication
facility to our six-inch wafer fabrication facility could result in delays in
product shipments and a loss of customers as a result of such delays".
Our wafer processing technologies have been developed for low cost, high
yield, rapid through put and short-cycle time manufacturing. We have developed
GaAs MESFET processes that we use to produce most of our products. By using ion
implant variations, we can optimize performance and yield, allowing us to
produce, for example, high linearity, low-noise, receiver integrated circuits or
transmitter integrated circuits with high power and efficiency.
We have also developed a GaAs PHEMT manufacturing process, which achieves
extremely high electron mobility. Devices manufactured using our PHEMT
manufacturing process have better sensitivity and bandwidth than conventional
MESFET devices and hence are an enabling technology that serves high bit rate
fiber optic systems. We have introduced devices for fiber optic communications
applications using our recently developed PHEMT manufacturing process.
Fabricated wafers are shipped to contractors in Asia for assembly in
integrated circuit packages. Once assembled by the contractor, packaged
integrated circuits are shipped back to our Warren, New Jersey facility for
final testing. We believe that our flexible automated test systems are important
to our ability to manufacture high quality integrated circuits at a low cost. We
have devoted substantial capital over the last 18 months to increase our
capacity of automated testors, resulting in shortened product cycle times,
reduced test-costs and improved test reliability. See "Risk Factors--We may face
constraints on our manufacturing capacity which would limit our ability to
increase sales volumes," "--We may face constraints on our test capacity which
could result in
29
<PAGE>
manufacturing delays" and "--We depend on foreign semiconductor assembly
contractors and a loss of an assembly contractor could result in delays or
reductions in product shipment".
Our design and manufacturing processes were certified as ISO 9001 compliant
in December 1993. Since then, we have maintained compliance with this standard.
RAW MATERIALS
GaAs wafers, other raw materials, and equipment used in the production of
our integrated circuits are available from several suppliers. See "Risk
Factors--Sources for certain components, materials and equipment are limited
which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments".
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We have made significant investments in our proprietary processes, including
product design, wafer fabrication and integrated circuit testing, which we
believe gives us a competitive advantage. To date, our research and development
efforts have focused on developing low cost, high volume production of GaAs
integrated circuit products for the telecommunication and television industries.
At July 4, 1999, we had approximately 80 engineers assigned primarily to
research and development.
We have increased our research and development efforts in our broadband
communications applications, such as cable and broadcast and fiber optic, during
1999 and expect our wireless communications research and development efforts to
remain consistent with 1998 levels.
The ability to simulate and model circuits is a critical technology for
analog integrated circuit design, especially at high frequencies. We have
developed a set of simulation tools and device models, which are custom-fit to
our process. Recognizing the importance of powerful electronic design automation
tools, in 1998 we formed a partnership with a leading manufacturer of radio
frequency/analog electronic design automation systems to develop and enhance
design tools to improve our research and development efficiency. The
partnership's primary objectives are to improve package modeling, design tool
training and design tool integration.
We are also in the process of researching and developing other wafer
processing technologies. For our GaAs HBT technology we have formed both foundry
and technological partnerships. These agreements generally require us to share
our expertise and proprietary technology over a limited time period with our
partner in exchange for access to their expertise and proprietary technology. In
addition, we have the right to obtain foundry services on favorable terms. In
certain cases we may pay licensing fees, reimburse expenses and/or commit to
purchase a portion of our wafer needs from the other party. We plan to implement
this technology in our manufacturing facility by the first half of 2000. We have
recently hired a chief scientist specifically devoted to HBT technology and have
started HBT design runs with our foundry partner. We believe these actions will
position us to be the first to market with products based on six-inch GaAs HBT
technology.
COMPETITION
Competition in all of the markets for our current products is intense and we
compete on the basis of performance, price and delivery. Competitors in the
wireless market are suppliers of discrete devices and integrated circuits. Our
competitors include Alpha, Conexant Systems, Fujitsu Compound Semiconductor,
Hitachi, Infineon Technologies (a subsidiary of Siemens AG), Matsushita Electric
Industrial, Motorola, RF Micro Devices, Royal Philips Electronics N.V., and
TriQuint Semiconductor.
In the cable and broadcast television markets, our integrated circuits
compete primarily with manufacturers of discrete components and integrated
circuits. Our competitors include Fujitsu
30
<PAGE>
Compound Semiconductor, Infineon, Maxim Integrated Products, Mitel Corporation,
Mitsubishi Electric Corp., NEC Corp. and Royal Philips Electronics.
In the fiber optic market, we compete with other GaAs and silicon integrated
circuit manufacturers. Principal competitors in this market are Royal Philips
Electronics, TriQuint Semiconductor and Vitesse Semiconductor as well as some of
our customers who design and fabricate their own in-house solutions. In
particular, we expect to face increased competition in our fiber optic products
used in low data rate SONET fiber optic transmissions. See "Risk Factors--We
face intense competition which could result in a decrease of our products'
prices and sales."
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical,
manufacturing and marketing resources than us. Increased competition could
adversely affect our revenue and profitability by causing us to reduce prices or
by reducing demand for our products.
CUSTOMERS
We receive most of our revenues from a few significant customers. Sales to
Ericsson, General Instrument and Qualcomm Personal Electronics accounted for
16%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of 1996 net sales, and 33%, 13% and 16%,
respectively, of 1997 net sales. Ericsson and General Instrument accounted for
34% and 17%, respectively, of 1998 net sales, and 40% and 21%, respectively, of
net sales during the six month period ended July 4, 1999. No other customer
accounted for greater than 10% of net sales during these periods. Substantially
all of our sales of wireless applications are to Ericsson.
EMPLOYEES
At July 4, 1999, we had approximately 488 employees, none of whom was a
member of a labor union. We believe our labor relations to be good and have
never experienced a work stoppage.
PATENTS, LICENSES AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
It is our practice to seek U.S. and foreign patent and copyright protection
on our products and developments where appropriate and to protect our valuable
technology under U.S. and foreign laws affording protection for trade secrets
and for semiconductor chip designs. We own seventeen U.S. patents and have six
pending U.S. patent applications and one pending foreign patent application
filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The U.S. patents were issued between
1988 and 1999 and will expire between 2006 and 2016.
We rely primarily upon trade secrets, technical know-how and other
unpatented proprietary information relating to our product development and
manufacturing activities. To protect our trade secrets, technical know-how and
other proprietary information, our employees are required to enter into
agreements providing for maintenance of confidentiality and the assignment of
rights to inventions made by them while in our employ. We also have entered into
non-disclosure agreements to protect our confidential information delivered to
third parties, in conjunction with possible corporate collaborations and for
other purposes.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Our operations are subject to many federal, state and local environmental
laws, regulations and ordinances that govern activities or operations that may
have adverse effects on human health or the environment. These laws, regulations
or ordinances may impose liability for the cost of remediating, and for certain
damages resulting from, sites of past releases of hazardous materials. We
believe that we currently conduct, and in the past have conducted, our
activities and operations in substantial compliance with applicable
environmental laws, and that costs arising from existing environmental laws will
not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot
31
<PAGE>
assure you, however, that the environmental laws will not become more stringent
in the future or that we will not incur significant costs in the future in order
to comply with these laws.
LEGAL MATTERS
SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION
In March and April 1998, seven lawsuits were filed against ANADIGICS and
various of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey. The lawsuits are: ASSUNCAO v. ANADIGICS, INC., ET
AL., OFFICE AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION LOCAL 153 PENSION
FUND v. ANADIGICS, INC., ET AL., KOTLER v. ANADIGICS, INC., ET AL., GRAY v.
ANADIGICS, INC., ET AL., MIRPURI v. ANADIGICS, INC., ET AL., GRAYSON v.
ROSENZWEIG, ET AL., and MORGANTE v. ANADIGICS, INC., ET AL.
Each complaint names as defendants one or more of the following directors
and officers of ANADIGICS: Ronald Rosenzweig, George Gilbert, Harry T. Rein,
John F. Lyons, Charles Huang, Javed Patel, Sheo Khetan and Robert Bayruns. The
complaints allege that ANADIGICS and certain of its officers and directors
violated the federal securities laws by making misstatements and/or omissions
during the period from August 1, 1997 through January 29, 1998 concerning our
performance and financial projections. The complaints also allege common law
fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation and seek unspecified damages. The seven
lawsuits have been consolidated into one class action action lawsuit captioned
IN RE ANADIGICS, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION.
In August 1998, a shareholders derivative lawsuit, captioned DEEGAN v.
ROSENZWEIG, ET AL., was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey against ANADIGICS and the following of our officers and
directors: Charles Burton, Paul Bachow, Robert Bayruns, Ronald Rosenzweig,
George Gilbert, John Lyons, Harry Rein, Sheo Khetan, Javed Patel, Charles Huang
and Phillip Wallace. The complaint alleges claims based upon the above listed
lawsuits, and seeks damages, contribution, indemnification and equitable relief.
On July 8, 1999, we and attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the
lawsuits described above entered into a memorandum of understanding setting
forth proposed settlement terms. Accordingly, we expect that all of the lawsuits
described above will be settled for a total payment of $11.75 million of which
approximately $5.3 million will be reimbursed by our insurance companies. The
proposed settlement is subject to various conditions, including the entering
into of a definitive settlement agreement and final court approval.
PATENT LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
In February 1999, The Lemelson Medical, Education and Research Foundation,
Limited Partnership filed a lawsuit against ANADIGICS and a number of other
companies in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The
lawsuit alleges that the defendants named have infringed upon patents held by
Lemelson. In addition, there is an unresolved notice from Rockwell International
Corporation asserting that we are infringing upon a patent on the processing of
semiconductor wafers. The patent will expire in March 2000. We intend to
vigorously defend against these allegations.
OTHER
We have provided information to and have cooperated with the SEC in
connection with a formal SEC investigation into trading in our stock which
occurred in January 1998.

5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March and April 1998, seven proposed class action lawsuits (collectively
the "Class Action Lawsuits") were filed against the Company and certain of its
officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of
New Jersey. The Complaints filed in the Class Action Lawsuits claim alleged
common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Complaints alleged that,
as a result of certain material misstatements and omissions made by the Company
in connection with its business, the price of the Company's common stock was
artificially inflated during the proposed class periods (July 17, 1997 through
January 30, 1998).
On December 20, 1998, the United States District Court for the District of
New Jersey consolidated the Class Action Lawsuits into one action, captioned In
re Anadigics, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 98-CV-917 (the "Consolidated Class
Action Lawsuit"), and appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Plaintiffs' Counsel.
On or about August 3, 1998, a shareholder's derivative lawsuit ("Derivative
Lawsuit") was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey against the Company (as nominal defendant) and certain of its officers
and directors. The Complaint in the Derivative Lawsuit alleged claims, which are
predicated upon the Class Action Lawsuits, seeking damages, contribution,
indemnification and equitable relief.
On July 8, 1999, the Company and attorneys representing the plaintiffs in
the lawsuits described above entered into a memorandum of understanding setting
forth proposed settlement terms. Accordingly, we expect that all of the lawsuits
described above will be settled for a total payment of $11.75 million of which
approximately $5.3 million will be reimbursed by our insurance companies. The
proposed settlement is subject to various conditions including the entering into
of a definitive settlement agreement and final court approval.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 22, 1999, the Company approved a public offering (the "Offering") of
an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock (plus an additional 450,000
shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of an overallotment
option by the underwriters). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the offering for capital expenditures, working capital, and other general
corporate purposes. The Company may use all or a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire complementary businesses if the opportunity arises, however it currently
has no commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
ANADIGICS, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ANADIGICS,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ANADIGICS, Inc.
as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their
operations, comprehensive income and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ANADIGICS, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading supplier of radio frequency
("RF") integrated circuit solutions for the communications markets. The
Company's products are used to receive and transmit signals in a variety of
broadband and wireless communications applications. The Company's efforts in the
broadband area are focused applications for cable television systems ("CATV")
and fiber optic communications systems. In the wireless area the Company's
efforts are directed towards applications in cellular telephone and personal
communication systems ("PCS"). The Company designs, develops and manufactures
its integrated circuits primarily using gallium arsenide ("GaAs") semiconductor
material. GaAs offers certain advantages in RF/microwave applications including
the integration of numerous RF/microwave functions which cannot be easily
integrated in silicon-based circuits. The Company's high frequency integrated
circuits can typically replace 30 to 100 discrete components, permitting
manufacturers of end products to reduce the size and weight of their products,
increase power efficiency, improve reliability, reduce manufacturing time and
cost and enhance system performance.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary, ANADIGICS Foreign Sales Corporation. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The Company grants trade credit to its customers, which are primarily
foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast
television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require
collateral. Accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars.
The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from
individual customers.
Approximately 45% of the Company's net sales in 1996 were to three
customers, accounting for 16%, 16%, and 12% of net sales. Approximately 62% of
the Company's net sales in 1997 were to three customers, accounting for 33%, 16%
and 13% of net sales. Approximately 51% of the Company's net sales in 1998 were
to two customers, accounting for 34% and 17% of net sales; accounts receivable
from these customers accounted for 64% of total accounts receivable at December
31, 1998. Net sales to individual customers who accounted for 10% or more of the
Company's total net sales and corresponding end application information are as
follows:

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Production revenue is recorded when products are shipped to customers.
Revenues under customer-funded research and development contracts, which are
recorded relative to the deliverables and other contractual obligations were
$3,193 in 1996, $1,566 in 1997, and $715 in 1998, and are included in net sales
on the consolidated statements of operations. The costs associated with the
customer-funded research and development contracts approximates the revenue
recorded and are included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of
operations.
WARRANTY COSTS
The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates
will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the
year. The accrued liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued
Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE
All direct internal and external costs incurred in connection with the
designing of software configuration and software interface, installing hardware
and testing systems are capitalized. All other costs associated with internal
use software are expensed when incurred. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a
straight-line basis over three years.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant and equipment
has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-5 years.
The cost of equipment acquired under capital leases was $13,045 and $11,987
at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and accumulated amortization was
$11,941 and $11,639 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Equipment
acquired under a capital lease is amortized over the useful life of the leased
equipment or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the
development of new products to expense when incurred. Engineering and design
costs related to customer-funded research and development contracts are
classified as cost of sales.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid marketable
securities with an original maturity of three months or less.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income or loss.
The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method.
The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premium
and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization, realized gains and
losses, interest and dividends are included in interest income.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (FASB 123), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principal
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and
related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under
APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized at the time of option grant
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option equals the
fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets including
capitalized software costs used in operations or expected to be disposed when
events and circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to
be generated by these assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets
(See Note 12.-RESTRUCTURING CHARGES)
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". All earnings per share amounts for all
periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the
requirements of FASB 128.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income ("FASB 130"). FASB 130 establishes new rules for
the reporting and display of comprehensive income (or loss) and its components
in the financial statements. The adoption of FASB 130 had no effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Statement 130 requires unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's
available-for-sale securities, which previously were reported in stockholders'
equity, to be included in other comprehensive income and the disclosure of total
comprehensive income.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts as of December 31, 1997 have been reclassified to conform
with the December 31, 1998 presentation.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company expects to adopt the new
Statement effective January 1, 2000. The Statement will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a significant
effect on its results of operations or financial position.

7. DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("FASB
131"). FASB 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
The Company believes it operates in one segment. Since all of the Company's
integrated circuits are manufactured using the same manufacturing facilities
located in the same geographic area, all operating expenses and assets of the
Company are combined and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on an
enterprise-wide basis, resulting in no additional discrete financial information
or reportable segment information.

10. LONG-TERM DEBT, CREDIT FACILITY AND INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT
The Company has a secured $20,000 term loan facility under which $5,000 was
drawn down on December 30, 1998 and was outstanding as of December 31, 1998. The
$5,000 consists of a term-loan that requires equal principal repayments of $250
due quarterly through December 31, 2003, plus interest.
Interest on the credit facility is calculated at LIBOR plus 1.75%. The LIBOR
rate was 5.34% at December 31, 1998. The Company enters into interest rate swap
agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively
converting its debt from variable to fixed rates. Maturity dates of the interest
rate swap agreements will generally match those of the underlying debt or
financial arrangements. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has entered into
one interest rate swap with a maturity of five years and involved the exchange
of variable rate payments for fixed rate payments without the exchange of the
underlying principal amounts. In accordance with the terms of the swap
agreement, the Company pays 7.09% interest and receives LIBOR plus 1.75%
calculated on the notional amount. The notional amount of the interest rate swap
was $5,000 at December 31, 1998. The Company concluded that the swap effectively
changed the variable interest rate characteristics to a fixed rate for which the
present value of the cash flows are approximately the same, and as a result,
there is no adjustment to mark the swap to market. Cash flows associated with
the financial instrument are classified consistent with the cash flows from the
transactions being hedged.
The remaining $15,000 under the term loan facility provides for interest at
the bank's base rate minus 25 basis points or, at the Company's discretion,
other market-based rates. The Company has the option to swap floating rate for
fixed rate loans at the time of drawdown. The drawdown period expires on July 1,
1999. Any drawdowns may be paid over a term of up to sixty months. Its
availability is subject to a number of financial covenants. Under this facility,
the payment of dividends, among other things, requires approval by the bank.
Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as security for the
repayment of amounts drawn under this credit facility. On a quarterly basis, the
Company pays an annual commitment fee equal to 0.125% of the daily unused line
of credit.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
In 1995, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan ("ESP
Plan")under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of
the Company and part-time employees, as defined in the ESP Plan, are eligible to
participate in the ESP Plan. An aggregate of 562,500 shares of common stock are
reserved for offering under the ESP Plan. Offerings are made at the commencement
of each calendar year and must be purchased by the end of that calendar year. In
1997, 44,515 shares of common stock were purchased at a price of $21.99 per
share, as determined by the ESP Plan, which approximates fair value. During
1998, 43,627 shares of common stock were purchased at a price of $9.75 per
share, as determined by the ESP Plan, which approximates fair value.
Certain executives and key employees have been granted options to purchase
shares of common stock under stock option plans adopted in 1994, 1995 and 1997.
An aggregate of 326,087, 2,775,000 and 1,200,000 shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance under the 1994 Long-Term Incentive Share and Award Plan,
the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Share Award Plan and the 1997 Long-Term Incentive
and Share Award Plan for Employees (the "Plans"), respectively. The Plans
provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
shares, or other share based awards to eligible employees and directors, as
defined in the Plans. Options granted under the Plans become exercisable in
varying amounts over periods of up to three years.
FASB 123 requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings
per share as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options and
warrants granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 and shares of common stock
purchased by employees in connection with the ESP Plan ("equity awards") under
the fair value method of FASB 123. The fair value of these equity awards was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions for 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively: risk-free interest rate of 5.17%, 5.90%, and 4.50%; expected
volatility of 0.50, 0.50, and 0.60; expected option life of one year from
vesting and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
equity awards is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The
Company's pro forma information is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1996 1997 1998

Pro forma basic earnings (loss) per share..................................... $ 0.85 $ 0.82 $ (0.89)
</TABLE>
Because FASB 123 is applicable only to equity awards granted subsequent to
December 31, 1994, its pro forma effect was not fully reflected until 1997.

12. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $7,126 during 1998. The
restructuring charges consisted of writedowns of impaired long-lived assets of
$4,510, reductions in work force of $1,616 and wafer fabrication facility
shutdown and removal costs of $1,000 which are expected to be completed in 1999.
In connection with the impairment evaluation, the Company determined that
certain other equipment related to the conversion of the new wafer fabrication
facility has shorter depreciable lives. Accordingly, the Company accelerated
depreciation on these assets during the year for which the effect on net loss
was approximately $(1,517) or $(0.10) per share. These assets, which now have
revised estimated useful lives of nine months, had original estimated useful
lives of five to twenty years.

WRITEDOWNS OF IMPAIRED ASSETS. The Company evaluated the on-going value of
certain assets. Based upon this evaluation, the Company plans to dispose of
certain assets during the next twelve months with a carrying amount of $4,635
and estimated the sales value, net of related costs to sell, at $125. The
estimated sales value was based on quoted market prices or on the best
information available in the circumstances. In most instances, there was no
market for the impaired asset and therefore the fair value was zero. As a
result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4,510, which consisted of
the following items:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
Write-down of assets associated with the conversion of the new
wafer fabrication facility from 4-inch to 6-inch wafers.......... $ 2,149
Write-down of assets associated with the closure of the Company's
in-house assembly operations..................................... 1,004
Write-off of software, in connection with the Company's on-going
information systems improvements................................. 842
Unused production assets previously used in the production of DBS
LNB converter integrated circuits................................ $ 515
---------
Total write-down on impairment of long-lived assets................ $ 4,510
---------

</TABLE>
The effect of suspending depreciation on these assets was approximately $220
during 1998.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. The Company recorded charges of $1,100 during the
first quarter of 1998 and $516 during the fourth quarter of 1998 associated with
reductions in its workforce. The workforce reduction charges primarily consisted
of severance pay, extended medical coverage, and outplacement service costs for
approximately 165 employees primarily involved in the Company's production
operations. Approximately $1,049 of severance pay, extended medical coverage,
and outplacement service costs were paid through December 31, 1998 for the
termination of 120 employees. The remaining liability of $567 is expected to be
paid during the first half of 1999.
FACILITY SHUTDOWN AND REMOVAL COSTS. The Company recorded charges of $1,000
associated with the shutdown and removal of its existing wafer fabrication
facility, which is expected to be completed in 1999.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In March and April 1998, there were filed against the Company and certain of
its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey seven proposed class action lawsuits (collectively, the "Class
Action Lawsuits"), captioned Assuncao v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 98-917;
Office and Professional Employees International Union Local 153 Pension Fund v.
Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 98-919; Kotler v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No.
98-923; Gray v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 98-1337; Mirpuri v. Anadigics,
Inc., et al., No. 98-1811; Grayson v. Rosenzweig, et al., No. 98-1688; and
Morgante v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. 98-2024. The Complaints filed in the
Class Action Lawsuits (each of which names a combination of the following
directors and officers of

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
the Company: Ronald Rosenzweig, George Gilbert, Harry T. Rein, John F. Lyons,
Charles Huang, Javed Patel, Sheo Khetan and Robert Bayruns) seek unspecified
damages in connection with claims under Sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as
set forth in the Union Local 153, Kotler, Gray and Mirpuri Complaints, claims
alleging common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Complaints allege
that, as a result of certain material misstatements and omissions made by the
Company in connection with its business, the price of the Company's common stock
was artificially inflated during the proposed class periods. The longest
proposed class period alleged by the plaintiffs in the Class Action Lawsuits is
the period from July 17, 1997 through January 30, 1998. On December 20, 1998,
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey entered an Order
consolidating the Class Action Lawsuits into one action, captioned In re
Anadigics, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 98-CV-917 (the "Consolidated Class
Action Lawsuit"), and appointing Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Plaintiffs' Counsel.
The parties to the Consolidated Class Action Lawsuit have jointly requested the
Court to extend to April 5, 1999 the deadline by which plaintiffs must file
their Amended Consolidated Complaint. The Company is unable at this time to
assess the probable outcome of the Consolidated Class Action Lawsuit or the
materiality of the risk of loss in connection therewith (given that none of the
original Complaints had alleged damages with any particularity and the Amended
Consolidated Complaint has not yet been served).
On or about August 3, 1998, a shareholders derivative lawsuit, captioned
Deegan v. Rosenzweig, et al., No. 98-CV-3640 (the "Derivative Lawsuit"), was
filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against
the Company (as nominal defendant) and the following officers and directors
thereof: Charles Burton, Paul Bachow, Robert Bayruns, Ronald Rosenzweig, George
Gilbert, John Lyons, Harry Rein, Sheo Khetan, Javed Patel, Charles Huang and
Phillip Wallace. The Complaint in the Derivative Lawsuit alleges claims, which
are predicated upon the Class Action Lawsuits, seeking damages, contribution,
indemnification and equitable relief. On October 28, 1998, the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey stayed the Derivative Lawsuit
pending the earlier of (1) the disposition of any motion to dismiss the
Complaint (or any Consolidated Amended Complaint) in the Class Action Lawsuits
or (2) the commencement of discovery in the Class Action Lawsuits. As a result,
on October 29, 1998, the Court administratively dismissed the Derivative Lawsuit
without prejudice. The Company is unable at this time to assess the probable
outcome of the Derivative Lawsuit or the materiality of the risk of loss in
connection therewith (given that the original Complaint did not allege damages
with any particularity and no operative pleading presently exists).
The Company is also involved in other threatened and pending legal
proceedings arising in the course of the Company's business. The adverse outcome
of any of these other legal proceedings is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the
Company.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had committed to purchase approximately
$10,000 of equipment and furniture, and leasehold improvements during 1999.

UNDERWRITING
ANADIGICS and the underwriters for the offering named below have entered
into an underwriting agreement with respect to the shares being offered. Subject
to certain conditions, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the
number of shares indicated in the following table. Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Prudential Securities Incorporated, CIBC World Markets Corp. and Needham &
Company, Inc. are the representatives of the underwriters.

Total............................................................... 3,000,000
----------

</TABLE>
------------------------
If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number shown in the
table above, the underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional 450,000
shares from ANADIGICS to cover those sales. They may exercise that option for 30
days after the date of this prospectus. If any shares are purchased pursuant to
this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately
the same proportion as shown in the table above.
The following tables show the per share and total underwriting discounts and
commissions to be paid to the underwriters by ANADIGICS. These amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at
the initial price to public shown on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares
sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up
to $ per share from the initial price to public. Any of these securities
dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to certain other
brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial
price to public. If all the shares are not sold at the initial price to public,
the representatives of the underwriters may change the offering price and the
other selling terms.
ANADIGICS and its directors and executive officers have agreed with the
underwriters not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period
from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 90 days after the
date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the
representatives of the underwriters. This agreement does not apply to any
existing employee benefit plans.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by
short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing
transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of
preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while
the offering is in progress.
U-1
<PAGE>
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting
discount received by it because the representatives of the underwriters have
purchased shares sold by or for the account of the underwriter in stabilizing or
short covering transactions.
These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the
common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open
market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq
National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
As permitted by Rule 103 under the Exchange Act, certain underwriters and
selling group members that are market makers ("passive market makers") in the
common stock may make bids for or purchases of the common stock in the Nasdaq
National Market until a stabilizing bid has been made. Rule 103 generally
provides that
- a passive market maker's net daily purchases of the common stock may not
exceed 30% of its average daily trading volume in such securities for the
two full consecutive calendar months, or any 60 consecutive days ending
within the 10 days, immediately preceding the filing date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part,
- a passive market maker may not effect transactions or display bids for the
common stock at a price that exceeds the highest independent bid for the
common stock by persons who are not passive market makers, and
- bids made by passive market makers must be identified as such.
ANADIGICS estimates that the total expenses of the offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ .
ANADIGICS has agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in
the future from time to time provide, investment banking services to ANADIGICS,
for which they may receive customary fees.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article VI of the
registrant's restated certificate of incorporation and section 4 of article VII
of the registrant's by-laws provide for indemnification of its directors,
officers, employees, and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Reference is also made to section 8 of the
underwriting agreement contained in exhibit 1.1 hereto, which provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, and controlling persons of the
registrant against certain liabilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

CIBC World Markets Corp.,
Needham & Company, Inc.,
As representatives of the several Underwriters
named in Schedule I hereto,
c/o Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
85 Broad Street,
New York, New York 10004.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
ANADIGICS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell
to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters") an aggregate
of shares (the "Firm Shares") and, at the election of the Underwriters, up to
additional shares (the "Optional Shares") of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share ("Stock"), of the Company (the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares that
the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof being
collectively called the "Shares").
1. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with,
each of the Underwriters that:
(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-83889) (the "Initial Registration Statement") in respect
of the Shares has been filed with the Securities and Exchange

Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in
the form heretofore delivered to you, and, excluding exhibits

became effective upon filing, no other document with respect
to the Initial Registration Statement or document incorporated
by reference therein has heretofore been filed with the
Commission; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Initial Registration Statement, any post-effective

11
<PAGE>
(vii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body
is required for the issue and sale of the Shares or the consummation by
the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except
the registration under the Act of the Shares, and such consents,
approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be
required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the
purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters;
(viii) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (A) in
violation of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (B) in
default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement,
covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument listed in
the schedule referred to in clause (vii) above;
(ix) The Company is not an "investment company" or an entity
"controlled" by an "investment company", as such terms are defined in
the Investment Company Act; and
(x) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or
any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior
to such Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and
related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and they have no
reason to believe that any of such documents, when such documents
became effective or were so filed, as the case may be, contained, in
the case of a registration statement which became effective under the
Act, an untrue statement of a material fact, or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or, in the case of other documents
which were filed under the Exchange Act with the Commission, an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made when such documents were so
filed, not misleading.
In addition, such counsel shall state that the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and any further amendments and supplements
thereto made by the Company prior to such Time of Delivery (other than
the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which
such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. In addition, such counsel shall state that such counsel
have participated in conferences with officers and other
representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent
auditors of the Company, and representatives of the Underwriters at
which the contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus were
discussed and, although such counsel is not passing upon and does not
assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
the statements contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus
(except as otherwise indicated above) on the basis of the foregoing
(relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the opinions of
officers and representatives of the Company), no facts have come to the
attention of such counsel which lead them to believe that either the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, at the time the
Registration Statement or amendment became effective, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein
12
<PAGE>
not misleading or that the Prospectus as of its date or any further
amendment or supplement thereto as of its date, or the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as
of such Time of Delivery, contained or contains an untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (it being understood that such counsel need express no
opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules and
other financial data included in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus); and they do not know of any amendment to the Registration
Statement required to be filed or of any contracts or other documents
of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus or required to be described in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus which are not filed or incorporated by reference or
described as required.
(d) [Pennie & Edmonds], special counsel for the Company, shall have
furnished to you their written opinion (a draft of such opinion is
attached as Annex II(b) hereto), dated such Time of Delivery, in form
and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that the Company owns,
is licensed or otherwise has sufficient rights to use the Intellectual
Property currently used by the Company or its subsidiaries; to the best
of such counsel's knowledge, except as described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, no claims have been asserted against the
Company or any its subsidiaries by any person with respect to the use
of any such Intellectual Property and no person has challenged or
questioned the validity or enforceability of any such Intellectual
Property; to the best of such counsel's knowledge, the Company and its
subsidiaries have conducted their business without infringement or
claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property of others; and, to
the best of such counsel's knowledge, the use, in connection with the
business and operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, of
such Intellectual Property does not infringe on the rights of any
person.
(e) On the date of the Prospectus at a time prior to the execution
of this Agreement, at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the effective
date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and also at each Time of
Delivery, Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or
letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in form and
substance satisfactory to you, to the effect set forth in Annex I
hereto (the executed copy of the letter delivered prior to the
execution of this Agreement is attached as Annex I(a) hereto and a
draft of the form of letter to be delivered on the effective date of
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and as of
each Time of Delivery is attached as Annex I(b) hereto);
(f)(i)Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have
sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any loss or
interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other
calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise
than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, and (ii) since the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus
there shall not have been any change in the capital stock, short-term
debt or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any
change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting the general affairs, management, financial position,
stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the
13
<PAGE>
Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in Clause
(i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Representatives so material and
adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such
Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus;
(g) On or after the date hereof there shall not have occurred any of
the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ; (ii)
a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company's
securities on NASDAQ; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; or
(iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United
States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency
or war, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv)
in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(h) The Shares at such Time of Delivery shall have been duly listed
for quotation on NASDAQ;
(i) The Company has obtained and delivered to the Underwriters
executed copies of an agreement from the stockholders of the Company
listed on Schedule II hereto substantially to the effect set forth in
Subsection 5(e) hereof in form and substance satisfactory to you;
(j) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section
5(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the New
York Business Day next succeeding the date of this Agreement; and
(k) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to
you at such Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company,
satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Company, herein at and as of such Time of Delivery,
as to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations
hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, and as
to such other matters as you may reasonably request, and the Company
shall have furnished or caused to be furnished certificates as to the
matters set forth in subsections (a) and (f) of this Section.
8. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus or any such amendment or
14
<PAGE>
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use
therein.
(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become
subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co.
expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and,
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of
any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the
offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately
preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified
party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then
15
<PAGE>
each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
subsection (d) were determined by PRO RATA allocation (even if the Underwriters
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the
Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may
in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase
such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such
default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares,
then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours
within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to
purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective
prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the
purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for
the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone
such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to
effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the
16
<PAGE>
Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term
"Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted
under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a
party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as
provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which
remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all
the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have
the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of
Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of
Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to
purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such
Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but
nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as
provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which
remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the
Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not
exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting
Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters,
then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the
Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne
by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the
indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein
shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in
this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company,
or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the
Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as
provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason any Shares are
not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company
will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses
approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel,
reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase,
sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company shall then be
under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so
delivered except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.
12. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or
given by you jointly or by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of you as the
representatives.
17
<PAGE>
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Goldman, Sachs &
Co., 32 Old Slip, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Registration
Department; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the
Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice
to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by
mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set
forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you upon
request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect
upon receipt thereof.
13. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit
of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and
10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who
controls the Company, or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or
have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the
Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason
merely of such purchase.
14. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the
term "business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in
Washington, D.C. is open for business.
15. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
16. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
18
<PAGE>
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and
return to us seven (7) counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by
you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance
hereof shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters and
the Company. It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of
each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of
Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the
Company for examination, upon request, but without warranty on your part as to
the authority of the signers thereof.

ANNEX I (B)
Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Underwriting Agreement, the accountants
shall furnish letters to the Underwriters to the effect that:
(i) They are independent certified public accountants with respect
to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable
published rules and regulations thereunder;
(ii) In their opinion, the financial statements and schedule
examined by them and included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the related published rules
and regulations thereunder; and, if applicable, they have made a review
in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants of the interim financial statements,
selected financial data, pro forma financial information, financial
forecasts and/or condensed financial statements derived from audited
financial statements of the Company for the periods specified in such
letter, as indicated in their reports thereon, copies of which have
been furnished to the representatives of the Underwriters (the
"Representatives") and are attached hereto;
(iii) They have made a review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
of the unaudited condensed statements of income, balance sheets and
statements of cash flows included in the Prospectus and/or included in
the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q incorporated by reference
into the Prospectus as indicated in their reports thereon copies of
which are attached hereto; and on the basis of specified procedures
including inquiries of officials of the Company who have responsibility
for financial and accounting matters regarding whether the unaudited
condensed financial statements referred to in paragraph (vi)(A)(i)
below comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related
published rules and regulations, nothing came to their attention that
caused them to believe that the unaudited condensed financial
statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and
the related published rules and regulations;
(iv) The unaudited selected financial information with respect to
the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the
five most recent fiscal years included in the Prospectus and included
or incorporated by reference in Item 6 of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year agrees with the
corresponding amounts (after restatement where applicable) in the
audited financial statements for such five fiscal years which were
included or incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Reports
on Form 10-K for such fiscal years;
(v) They have compared the information in the Prospectus under
selected captions with the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K
and on the basis of limited procedures specified in such letter nothing
came to their attention as a result of the foregoing procedures that
caused them to believe that this information does not conform in all
material respects with the disclosure requirements of Items 301 and
402, respectively, of Regulation S-K;
(vi) On the basis of limited procedures, not constituting an
examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
consisting of a reading of the unaudited financial statements and other
information referred to below, a reading of the latest available
interim financial statements of the Company, inspection of the minute
books of the Company since the date of the latest audited financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus,
inquiries of officials of the Company responsible for financial and
accounting matters and such other inquiries and procedures as may be
specified in such letter, nothing came to their attention that caused
them to believe that:
<PAGE>
(A) (i) the unaudited condensed statements of income, balance
sheets and statements of cash flows included in the Prospectus
and/or included or incorporated by reference in the Company's
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material respects with
the applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act as it
applies to Form 10-Q and the related published rules and
regulations, or (ii) any material modifications should be made to
the unaudited condensed statements of income, balance sheets and
statements of cash flows included in the Prospectus or included in
the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus, for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles;
(B) any other unaudited income statement data and balance
sheet items included in the Prospectus do not agree with the
corresponding items in the unaudited financial statements from
which such data and items were derived, and any such unaudited
data and items were not determined on a basis substantially
consistent with the basis for the corresponding amounts in the
audited financial statements included or incorporated by
reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
most recent fiscal year;
(C) the unaudited financial statements which were not
included in the Prospectus but from which were derived the
unaudited condensed financial statements referred to in Clause
(A) and any unaudited income statement data and balance sheet
items included in the Prospectus and referred to in Clause (B)
were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with the
basis for the audited financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the most recent fiscal year;
(D) any unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus do not
comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the Act and the published rules and
regulations thereunder or the pro forma adjustments have not been
properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of
those statements;
(E) as of a specified date not more than five days prior to
the date of such letter, there have been any changes in the
capital stock (other than issuances of capital stock upon
exercise of options and stock appreciation rights, upon earn-outs
of performance shares and upon conversions of convertible
securities, in each case which were outstanding on the date of
the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus) or any increase in the long-term debt of the
Company, or any decreases in net current assets or stockholders'
equity or other items specified by the Representatives, or any
increases in any items specified by the Representatives, in each
case as compared with amounts shown in the latest balance sheet
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, except
in each case for changes, increases or decreases which the
Prospectus discloses have occurred or may occur or which are
described in such letter; and
(F) for the period from the date of the latest financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus to the specified date referred to in Clause (E) there
were any decreases in net revenues or operating profit or the
total or per share amounts of net income or other items specified
by the Representatives, or any increases in any items specified
by the Representatives, in each case as compared with the
comparable period of the preceding year and with any other period
of corresponding length specified by
2
<PAGE>
the Representatives, except in each case for increases or
decreases which the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may
occur or which are described in such letter; and
