Company reiterates first quarter 2004 business outlook

Lattice Semiconductor Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) is a United States based manufacturer of high-performance programmable logic devices (FPGAs, CPLDs, & SPLDs). The Oregon based company is the number four ranked company in world market share for FPGA devices,[1]  Corporation (Nasdaq:LSCC LSCC Lake-Sumter Community College (Florida)

LSCC Lawson State Community College (Alabama) 
) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December December: see month.  2003.

In addition, the Company announced that it has completed a review of its deferred income accounting. Deferred income is the balance sheet account which represents the estimated future gross margin, including credits that may be due, related to inventory held by the Company's distributors that is expected to be either resold to end users or returned to the Company for a credit. As the Company's distributors have price protection and limited return rights, the Company's policy is to defer de·fer 1

    connection with the Aug. 26, 2002, acquisition of Cerdelinx
    Technologies, Inc. Also includes $142.5 million in Goodwill and
    $52.2 million of other intangible assets, net, recorded in the
    March 2002 quarter in connection with the Jan. 18, 2002,
    acquisition of the FPGA business of Agere Systems, Inc., and
    approximately $81.1 million in Goodwill and $23.3 million of other
    intangible assets, net, related to previous acquisitions. The
    other intangible assets will be amortized to expense generally
    over three to seven years. Goodwill is not amortized effective

Notes:

(1) This table presents operating information which is consistent with
    the information reported by First Call, IBES and Zacks for Lattice
    Semiconductor Corporation. A reconciliation to GAAP on a per share
    basis is attached as Appendix 2.

(2) Tax Shield represents the current period tax deduction available
    from amortizing gross goodwill and other intangible assets
    (approximately $750 million as of Dec. 31, 2002) over 15 years on
    a straight line basis using a 34% tax rate. As of the March 31,
    2003, quarter, we are no longer reporting a Tax Shield.

(3) For the three months and year ended Dec. 31, 2002, the computation
    of diluted Non-GAAP earnings includes the effect of stock options
    but excludes the effect of our convertible notes as they are
    antidilutive. For all 2003 periods presented, the computation of
    diluted Non-GAAP loss excludes the effect of both stock options
    and the effect of our convertible notes as they are antidilutive.

Notes:

(1) This table reconciles net income (loss) to non-GAAP information,
    which is presented in Appendix 1, on a per-share basis.

(2) Represents write-off of in-process research and development in
    conjunction with the Aug. 26, 2002, acquisition of Cerdelinx
    technologies, Inc. and the Jan. 18, 2002, acquisition of the FPGA
    business of Agere Systems, Inc.

(3) In the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2002, we recorded a tax provision of
    $111.1 million, representing a 100% valuation allowance for our
    recorded deferred tax assets, in accordance with the provisions of
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.

(4) Tax Shield represents the current period tax deduction available
    from amortizing gross goodwill and other intangible assets
    (approximately $750 million as of Dec. 31, 2002) over 15 years on
    a straight line basis using a 34% tax rate. As of the March 31,
    2003, quarter, we are no longer reporting a Tax Shield.

(5) The effective tax rate is the ratio of income tax expense to
    pretax income. The rate for the three months and year ended Dec.
    31, 2002, presented in the non-GAAP information presentation is
    different from the rates in the Statement of Operations, due to
    the difference in the proportion of taxable income derived from
    operations.

Notes:

(1) Represents write-off of in-process research and development in
    conjunction with the Aug. 26, 2002, acquisition of Cerdelinx
    Technologies, Inc. and the Jan. 18, 2002, acquisition of the FPGA
    business of Agere Systems, Inc.

(2) Intangible assets subject to amortization relate to the
    acquisition of Cerdelinx Technologies, Inc. on Aug. 26, 2002, the
    acquisition of the FPGA business of Agere Systems, Inc. on Jan.
    18, 2002, the acquisition of Vantis Corporation on June 16, 1999,
    and the acquisition of Integrated Intellectual Property Inc. on
    March 16, 2001. These intangible assets are amortized to expense
    generally over to three to seven years on a straight-line basis.
    The balance of these assets are unchanged as a result of the
    restatements presented here.

(3) Balances presented include amortization of deferred stock
    compensation expense attributable to Research and Development
    Activities, which amounts are unchanged as a result of the
    restatements presented here.

(4) For all periods presented, the computation of diluted net loss per
    share excludes the effect of stock options and our convertible
    notes as they are antidilutive.
