Costs are up due in part to the large number of ASICs in development. My numbers in the previous post were best guess SWAGs. Good data points welcome. Revenues increased due to higher unit shipments and average selling prices of MSM integrated circuits and higher shipments of CSM infrastructure integrated circuit voice channels to wireless communications manufacturers. The decrease in earnings before taxes was primarily due to increased research and development, as well as increased general, administrative, selling and marketing expenses. The increased research and development is primarily associated with new integrated circuit product and technology initiatives to support high-speed wireless Internet access and multi-band, multimode, multi-network, products including cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO, GSM/ GPRS, WCDMA and position location technologies, as well as increased advertising expenses for these products. Approximately 58 million MSM integrated circuits were sold during fiscal 2001, compared to approximately 52 million for fiscal 2000. Approximately nine million CSM infrastructure integrated circuits equivalent voice channels were sold during fiscal 2001, compared to approximately two million for fiscal 2000.
