Rising revenue cures a lot of ills, especially when you are running an under-utilized factory (SP1).

This is generally true, unless of course one is selling below cost! In any case, how good is SPSN's B/S at the end of this Q and how does the B/S and I/S compare vs. same Q last year? Let's look at it-

* Derived from the December 30, 2007 audited financial statements of
Spansion Inc.


1. Interest Expense went up by 10.1MM, Interest Income went down by 9.1MM (these are really sticky!)
2. SG&A went up by 6.3MM. Sales relatively flat while 1 & 2 happened.
3. Current Assets without Inventory is 792.73MM Current Liabilities are at 1097.55MM (these are almost entirely sure shots!) Valuation of inventory on books is questionable and declining in value with time. They will spend a little less than 200MM next 2Q's but Cash on hand is dwindling fast.

Unless pricing in NOR improves and the market opportunity gets bigger, SPSN will die a slow painful death! They are barely profitable at GM levels after reduction of R&D expenses and since the industry is in oversupply, pricing is unlikely to improve and competition will be fierce with a question of survival for key players.
