"We made steady progress in the quarter with sequential improvement in
both revenue and gross margins in a clearly challenging economy. In
particular, our sequential sales increase reflects the continuing thrust of
our new product portfolio, which increased to 57 percent of total sales in the
quarter compared to 50 percent of total sales in the previous quarter," said
Sales for the quarter ended
The company shipped approximately 675 development tool kits during the December quarter, increasing the total tool kits shipped since the launch of its integrated 8-bit embedded flash microcontrollers to almost 43,000.
The company expects sales for the quarter ended
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
The Company may make reference to certain Non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are useful measures of operating performance and liquidity because they may exclude the impact of certain items, such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, depreciation, non-operating interest, income taxes and special charges. However, these Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Net Loss (Unaudited)
Non-GAAP net loss excludes special charges and non-cash charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation. We believe that Non-GAAP net loss is a useful measure as it excludes certain special charge items as well as certain non-cash charges, which facilitates a comparison of the Company's operating performance. However, this Non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the net loss measured in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP EBITDA (Unaudited)
Management believes that Non-GAAP EBITDA ("EBITDA"), that is Earnings or loss Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, is a useful measure of financial performance. We believe that the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors more meaningfully evaluate our liquidity position by the elimination of non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization. We believe that our investor base regularly uses EBITDA as a measure of the liquidity of our business. Our management uses EBITDA as a supplement to cash flows from operations as a way to assess the cash generated from our business available for capital expenditures and the servicing of other requirements including working capital.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
EBITDA reflects our Earnings or loss Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Additionally, management uses separate "Adjusted EBITDA" calculations for purposes of determining certain employees' incentive compensation and, subject to meeting specified Adjusted EBITDA amounts, for accelerating the vesting of EBITDA-linked stock options. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, excludes interest, income taxes, effects of changes in accounting principles and non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, in-process research and development, and stock-based compensation expense. It also excludes cash and non-cash charges associated with reorganization items and special charges and credits, which represent operational restructuring charges, including asset write-offs, employee termination costs, relocation costs and lease termination costs. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes changes in operating assets and liabilities which are included in net cash used by operating activities. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to cash flows from operations as a way to assess the cash generated from our business available for capital expenditures and the servicing of other requirements including working capital. This Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure allows management to monitor cash generated from the operations of the business. However, this Non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net loss and net cash provided or used in operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
