According to Lothar Maier, CEO, "This was an encouraging
quarter in a difficult global economic environment. We met
the mid point of our guidance and we believe that we are at
an inflection point in our bus iness . Bookings , which
started s lowly, strengthened in December and continued s
trengthening in January. In these challenging times we
maintained strong profitability, reporting operating
margins at 45% of s ales . Given the improvement in our
bookings and our current outlook for the March quarter, we
are estimating that we will grow quarterly revenues
sequentially in the 4% to 8% range for our fis cal third
quarter. As we announced earlier, we have acquired Dust
Networks , a leading provider of wireless s ensor networks .
Although Dus t will initially have minimal impact on our
quarterly financial results , we are optimis tic about
growth prospects for Dus t in its emerging markets and
the synergies between Dust and Linear in bringing rugged, low
power, wireless solutions to the industrial and other
end -markets ."

1) Amort izat ion of debt discount is non -cash int erest expense relat ed t o t he Company's Convert ible Senior Not es.
The Company's non -GAAP measures set forth above exclude charges related to stock-based compens ation, the amortization of the Company's debt dis count which is a non -cash interest expense and the non -cash charge on early retirement of convertible s enior notes . In addition, the Company's non -GAAP measures exclude the special expense items related to the acquis ition. The Company's management uses non -GAAP net income and non -GAAP earnings per share to evaluate the Company's current operating results and financial results and to compare them agains t historical financial res ults . The Company excludes stock-bas ed compensation, non-cash interest expenses , acquis ition related costs and the related tax effects primarily because they are s ignificant special expens e estimates , which management separates for cons ideration when evaluating and managing bus iness operations . In addition management believes it is useful to inves tors because it is frequently us ed by s ecurities analys ts , investors and other interes ted parties in evaluating the Company and provides further clarity on its profitability.
In addition, the Company believes that providing investors with these non -GAAP measurements enhances their ability to compare the Company's bus iness agains t that of its many competitors who employ and disclos e s imilar non -GAAP measures . This financial measure may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting us ed by the Company's competitors to the extent their non -GAAP measures include other items . The presentation of this additional information should not be cons idered a substitute for net income or net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
