Net revenues increased 5% compared to the first quarter of 2000 while declining 48% compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. Pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $4.4 million compared to pro forma net income of $27.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 and $62.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Strategic Alliance: In March, PMC-Sierra announced a technical and marketing alliance with Multilink Technology Corporation to develop complete 10 Gigabit-per-second reference platforms for optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. . The two companies will combine Multilink's newly announced SiGe See silicon germanium.  SERDES See serializer/deserializer.  chip set and Forward Error Correction A communications technique that can correct bad data on the receiving end. Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction. If the transmitted message is received in error, the correction bits are used to repair it.  (FEC See forward error correction.

Product Announcements: PMC-Sierra has announced 16 new products in 2001 that address key segments of the broadband broadband

 communications market.
-- CHESS-II(TM)(Channelizer Engine for SONET/SDH): the CHESS-II(TM) chip set is
targeted at the emerging Optical Metropolitan Area Network and is an
OC-192/STM-64 line rate optical networking architecture that enables Internet
Service Providers and telecommunication carriers to deliver voice, video and
data services across a single optical transport backbone. The chip set includes
the SPECTRA(TM)-9953 (STS-1 channelized framer and pointer processor), TBS-9953
(groomer and serializer), TSE-160 (160 Gbit/s STS-1 cross-connect) and the
CRSU-4x2488 (4xOC-48 clock and data recovery). The chip set's unique
architecture enables consolidation of traditional SONET/SDH equipment, together
with IP routers and multi service switches, into a single shelf platform.

-- FREEDM(TM) packet processor family: two new members of the Frame Engine and
Datalink Manager (FREEDM(TM)) packet processor family for packet-based line
cards, namely the FREEDM-336 and the FREEDM-84. The FREEDM-336 is the
industry's first packet processor to support up to 336 T1 lines and achieve a
sustained wire speed throughput for short IP packets. The FREEDM-84 supports up
to 84 T1 or 63 E1 links over 1024 HDLC channels and is ideal for nxDS3 and
nxOC-3 port card designs. It can, for the first time, enable the routing of up
to an OC-48's worth of T1 and DS-3 traffic on a single line card.

-- ClassiPI(TM) packet content classification processor: the ClassiPI
(Classification by Packet Inspection) is a new class of packet processor for
Gigabit Ethernet and OC-48 applications. It is designed to accelerate the
deployment of content aware Internet Protocol (IP) services such as intrusion
detection, load balancing and Quality of Service (QoS) in the IP switches and
routers.

-- Inverse Multiplexer for ATM: three new inverse multiplexer products include
the S/UNI-IMA-84 that supports an industry leading 84 T1 or 63 E1 links in a
single device. It is optimized for T1/E1-over-fiber applications in
Multiservice ATM switches, Metro-Optical Access switches and 3G Wireless Base
Station Controllers. The S/UNI-IMA-32 supports up to 32 links and for lower
link count applications the S/UNI-IMA-8 supports up to 8 links.

-- Multi-Port SERDES Devices: announced three highly integrated
Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) devices including the QuadPHY-II(TM), the
OctalPHY(TM) and the QuadPHY(R) that provide multi-port gigabit serial
backplane interconnect for switches/routers as well as Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre
Channel, and Infiniband serial interface standards for optical modules. The
QuadPHY-II, OctalPHY and QuadPHY devices dramatically increase system design
flexibility by allowing easy interconnection of chip level and board level
building blocks used in Gigabit and Terabit Switches/Routers and Multi Service
Provisioning Platforms.
