As previously announced, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell its hard disk drive controller and tape drive controller business to Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. for $225 million. This transaction is expected to close by the middle of the third fiscal quarter. As a result of this transaction, the financial information for the hard disk drive controller and tape drive controller business has been presented as discontinued operations for all periods.
Net revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was a record $119.0 million and increased 16% from $102.3 million in the comparable quarter last year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, revenue from SAN Infrastructure Products, which are comprised of HBAs, switches and silicon, was $110.5 million, an increase of 21% from the comparable quarter last year and 3% sequentially.
Income from continuing operations on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $30.5 million, or $0.34 per share on a diluted basis, an increase of 20% from the second quarter of last year and 8% sequentially.
Net revenue from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2006 was $234.4 million, up 17% from the same period of fiscal year 2005. Income from continuing operations on a GAAP basis for the first six months of fiscal 2006 was $58.8 million, or $0.64 per share on a diluted basis, an increase of 22% from the same period last year.

During the second quarter, the Company repurchased $247 million of its common stock on the open market.

The Company generated $68 million in cash from continuing operations during the first six months of fiscal 2006. The Company's balance sheet at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was highlighted by $634 million of cash and short-term investments.
"We are pleased with our record revenue performance from continuing operations, which was driven by a 21% growth in our SAN Infrastructure Products from the prior year quarter," said H.K. Desai, the Company's chief executive officer and president. "The second quarter was also highlighted by our execution against our $350 million stock repurchase program, which was completed in October."
The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures to supplement financial statements based on GAAP. A summary of these non-GAAP financial measures and a complete reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as well as a description of the reasons that management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses these non-GAAP financial measures is presented in the accompanying financial schedules. There is no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP results for any period of fiscal 2006.

During the first six months of fiscal 2006, the Company's non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $58.8 million, or $0.64 per share on a diluted basis, and increased 13% from the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
The non-GAAP financial measurements contained herein are a
supplement to the corresponding financial measurements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
non-GAAP financial information presented excludes non-cash merger
related stock compensation charges, which relate to the Company's
acquisition of Little Mountain Group, Inc. in January 2001. Such
non-cash charges ended during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.
Management believes this item is not indicative of the Company's
on-going core operating performance.
The Company has presented non-GAAP income from continuing
operations and non-GAAP diluted income from continuing operations per
share, on a basis consistent with its historical presentation, to
assist investors in understanding the Company's core income from
continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted income from continuing
operations per share on an on-going basis. The non-GAAP presentation
also enhances comparisons of the Company's core net profitability with
historical periods and comparisons of the Company's core net
profitability with the corresponding results for competitors.
Management believes that on-going income from continuing operations
and diluted income from continuing operations per share are important
measures in the evaluation of the Company's profitability. These
non-GAAP financial measures exclude the adjustment described above,
and thus provide an overall measure of the Company's on-going net
profitability and related profitability on a diluted per share basis.
Management uses non-GAAP income from continuing operations in its
evaluation of the Company's core after-tax results of operations and
trends between fiscal periods and believes that this measure is an
important component of its internal performance measurement process.
In addition, the Company prepares and maintains its budgets and
forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with this non-GAAP
financial measurement.
The non-GAAP financial measurements presented herein have certain
limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated
with the operations of the Company's business as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP
measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior
to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The non-GAAP information presented by the Company may be
different from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
