PART I Item 2.
Properties

Our corporate offices, which include the administrative, sales, customer support, marketing, research and development and final testing groups are located in San Jose, California.  The site consists of adjacent buildings providing 588,000 square feet of space, which we own.  We purchased 87 acres of land in South San Jose near our corporate facility in February 2000.  Plans for infrastructure and the future development of this land have not been finalized.  In July 2000, due to the anticipated rapid growth of the Company, we purchased two adjacent buildings near downtown San Jose providing 200,000 square feet of office space.  These buildings were renovated, but the Company never took occupancy.  During fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized impairment losses on excess facilities related to the vacant property in San Jose.  In March 2004, the Company sold this facility.  See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

In addition, we own a 228,000 square foot administrative, research and development and final testing facility in the metropolitan area of Dublin, Ireland.  The Irish facility is primarily used to service our customer base outside of North America.

We also own a 130,000 square foot facility in Longmont, Colorado.  The Longmont facility serves as the primary location for our software efforts in the areas of research and development, manufacturing and quality control.  In July 2000, the Company also purchased a 200,000 square foot facility and 40 acres of land adjacent to the Longmont facility for future expansion.  The facility is being partially leased to tenants under short-term lease agreements and partially used by the Company.

We own a 45,000 square foot facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico used for the development of our CoolRunner CPLD product families as well as IP cores.  We lease office facilities for our engineering design centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Austin, Texas and our subsidiary, Triscend Corporation in Mountain View, California.

We also lease North American sales offices in various locations which include the metropolitan areas of Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Nashua, Ottawa, Raleigh, San Diego, San Jose and Toronto as well as international sales offices located in the metropolitan areas of Brussels, Hong Kong, London, Milan, Munich, Osaka, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Stockholm, Taipei, Tel Aviv and Tokyo.

In April 2004, we entered into a sublease on a 15,000 square foot facility in Singapore.  The Singapore facility will serve as our regional headquarters in Asia and will support our customers in Asia Pacific and Japan.
