"Coming into the quarter, we expected revenues of approximately $225 million, core gross margins of 40 to 41 percent of revenues, and core operating expenses of $82 million to $83 million. We delivered revenues of $230.7 million, up 7.3 percent sequentially. We improved core gross margins by 130 basis points sequentially to 41.6 percent as we continued to benefit from our gross-margin-improvement initiatives. As anticipated, core operating expenses totaled approximately $83 million for the quarter.

"Driven by our continuing focus on working-capital management, we generated approximately $30 million of cash from operations during the quarter," Decker continued. "We added approximately $70 million from our new credit facility, and we exited the December December: see month.  quarter with $466 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2006 Outlook

"In consumer electronics markets, which we largely serve, the March quarter is traditionally weaker than the December quarter," Decker said. "However, our overall demand outlook remains strong, and we expect to grow second fiscal quarter revenues 3 to 5 percent sequentially. We anticipate that core gross margins for the current quarter will be in a range of 41.5 to 42.5 percent of revenues as a result of continued progress in our gross-margin-improvement initiatives, and we expect core operating expenses to increase modestly to $84 million to $85 million, primarily as a result of annual employee salary increases.

"Demonstrating the continuing leverage in our business model, we anticipate that our 3 to 5 percent sequential One after the other in some consecutive order such as by name or number.  revenue growth in the second fiscal quarter will drive an increase in core operating income of approximately 25 percent sequentially," Decker said. "Finally, we expect our core net income to be $0.02 per share, based on approximately 495 million diluted shares outstanding."

             See "GAAP to Non-GAAP Core Adjustments" below

GAAP to Non-GAAP Core Adjustments:

(a) Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended
    December 31, 2005 is based on the fair value of all stock options
    and employee stock purchase plan shares in accordance with SFAS
    No. 123(R), which we adopted on October 1, 2005. Stock-based
    compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005
    and December 31, 2004 is based on the intrinsic value of acquired
    or exchanged unvested stock options in business combinations,
    which is in accordance with previous accounting standards.

(b) Transitional salaries and benefits represent amounts earned by
    employees who have been notified of their termination as part of
    the Company's restructuring activities, from the date of their
    notification. Included in the amounts for the three months ended
    December 31, 2005, September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are
    $9, $151 and $296, respectively, of facilities related costs.

(c) IP litigation support costs related to one of the Company's
    intellectual property litigation matters.

(d) Amortization of intangible assets resulting from the Company's
    previous business combinations.

(e) Restructuring charges, asset impairments, integration costs and
    other special items.

(f) Non-operating gains and losses resulting from the Company's equity
    method investments.

(g) Non-operating unrealized gains and losses associated with fair
    value changes in the Company's ownership of the Mindspeed warrant
    accounted for as a derivative instrument.

(h) Recognized gains on the sale of investments.

(i) Other gains and losses which are not part of the core on-going
    operations of the Company.

(j) In periods of non-GAAP core net income, the dilutive effect of
    stock options and warrants under the treasury stock method has
    been added to the basic weighted average shares to compute diluted
    weighted average shares. For the three months ended December 31,
    2005 and September 30, 2005, 8,651 and 4,633 shares, respectively,
    have been added to basic weighted average shares to arrive at
    diluted weighted average shares for purposes of the non-GAAP core
    diluted net income per share computations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The Company has presented non-GAAP cost of goods sold, non-GAAP
operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net
income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share, on a basis consistent with its historical presentation to
assist investors in understanding the Company's core results of
operations on an on-going basis. These non-GAAP financial measures
also enhance comparisons of the Company's core results of operations
with historical periods. The Company is providing these non-GAAP
financial measures to investors to enable them to perform additional
financial analysis and because it is consistent with the financial
models and estimates published by analysts who follow the Company.
Management believes that these are important measures in the
evaluation of the Company's results of operations. Investors should
consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures
presented by the Company may be different than non-GAAP financial
measures presented by other companies.

GAAP Guidance:

The Company does not present GAAP guidance due to its inability to
project (i) future market prices of the common stock of a third party
underlying a derivative financial instrument, (ii) realized gains or
losses from the sale of equity securities in third parties, and (iii)
the financial results of investments accounted for using the equity
method of accounting.
