PART III — NARRATIVE

 

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As summarized below, ON Semiconductor Corporation (“Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (“Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date of March 16, 2005 without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company will file its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than March 31, 2005.

 

As of the date of filing this Notification of Late Filing (“Notice”), the Company is in the process of completing its testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires, beginning with this Form 10-K, (i) management to report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting under Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K and (ii) the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to attest to this report under Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K. During 2004 and through the date of the filing of this Notice, the Company has spent considerable time and resources analyzing, documenting and testing its system of internal control. This evaluation of internal control over financial reporting has not yet been completed. Although the Company is not currently aware of any material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting and related disclosures, there can be no assurance that, as a result of the ongoing evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, additional deficiencies will not be identified or any deficiencies identified previously or hereafter, either alone or in combination with others, will not be considered a material weakness. The identification of a material weakness would require management to conclude that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2004.
