James J. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Microsemi's non-GAAP second quarter results exceeded 30 percent in operating margin, which is a measure of great semiconductor companies. We believe this demonstrates our execution in our top line growth as well as our effectiveness in consolidation activities. We believe that we can continue to drive revenue growth with the acceptance of our new products and also leverage efficiencies going forward to continuing to increase these margins in the coming years."
The book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 1.08, which reflects strength in the Company's high reliability semiconductor products and demand for its new high performance analog and mixed signal products.
Business Outlook
We expect that for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, our sales, including the impact of our acquisition of Advanced Power Technology, will increase between 15% and 19% sequentially. On a non-GAAP basis, we expect earnings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 to be $0.26 to $0.28 per diluted share.

Microsemi does not undertake to supplement or correct any information in this release that is or becomes incorrect.
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we use non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share) that exclude certain items such as transitional idle capacity and inventory abandonments, amortization of intangible assets, stock option compensation, loss on disposition of assets and restructuring and other special charges. Management excludes these items because it believes that the non-GAAP measures enhance an investor's overall understanding of the Company's financial performance and future prospects by being more reflective of the Company's core operational activities and to be more comparable with the results of the Company over various periods. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. Guidance is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of such items. These items could be materially significant in our GAAP results in any period. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's core operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we
use non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before
taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share)
that exclude certain items such as transitional idle capacity and
inventory abandonments, amortization of intangible assets, stock
option compensation, loss on disposition of assets and restructuring
and other special charges. Management excludes these items because it
believes that the non-GAAP measures enhance an investor's overall
understanding of the Company's financial performance and future
prospects by being more reflective of the Company's core operational
activities and to be more comparable with the results of the Company
over various periods. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures
internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results
and evaluating current performance. Guidance is provided only on a
non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the
timing or amount of such items. These items could be materially
significant in our GAAP results in any period. By disclosing non-GAAP
financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a
more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's core
operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP
financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP;
therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other
companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a
substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated
in accordance with GAAP.
The items excluded from GAAP financial results in calculating
non-GAAP financial results, are set forth below:
(a) The restructuring activities involve the closure and
consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. As these
facilities are not expected to have a continuing contribution to
operations or have a diminishing contribution during the
transition phase, management believes excluding such items from
the Company's operations provides investors with a means of
evaluating the Company's on-going operations. Transitional idle
capacity relates to unused manufacturing capacity and
non-productive manufacturing expenses during the period from when
shutdown activities commence to when a facility is closed.
Inventory abandonments relate to identification and disposal of
inventory that will not be utilized after a product line is
transferred to a new manufacturing location. Loss on disposition
of assets results from abandonment of non-productive assets in
accordance with a restructuring plan. Restructuring and other
special charges includes severance and other costs related to
facilities in the process of closing or already closed.
Management excludes these expenses when evaluating core operating
activities and for strategic decision making, forecasting future
results and evaluating current performance.
(b) These amounts relate to amortization of acquisition related
intangibles. While this expense is expected to continue in the
future, for internal analysis of the Company's operations,
management does not view this expense as reflective of the
business' current performance.
(c) Stock option compensation in connection with the SFAS123R has
been excluded to facilitate the comparison of the quarter and
six-months ended April 3, 2006, with results from prior periods
when stock option compensation was not expensed in accordance
with accounting rules applicable in such periods. The reduction
in the charge for the acceleration of stock options originally
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005 is due to lower than
previously estimated forfeiture rates.
