The Company attributed this drop in revenues -- which followed a 15% year-over-year increase in revenues in its first quarter -- largely to inventory-driven volatility Volatility

 results reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. On a non-GAAP basis, net income, excluding share-based payment expenses, was $49,000 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to reported net income of $316,000 in the second quarter of 2005. For the first six months of 2006, net income, excluding share-based payment expenses, was $337,000, as compared to reported net income of $451,000 for the same period in 2005. Prior to fiscal 2006, Castelle had not reported share-based payment in the determination of its GAAP operating results. Castelle discloses non-GAAP financial measures of net income and net income per share and believes that this non-GAAP information provides historical comparability of its operating results over multiple reporting periods due to the absence of share based payment expenses in comparative prior year periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to earnings and earnings per share presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
