Based upon preliminary data for the quarter ending September 30, 2006, AnalogicTech expects to report revenue of approximately $19 to $20 million, and a GAAP net loss of $0.04 to $0.06 per share. The company estimates gross profit margins in the third quarter to be 55% to 57% of revenue, which reflects a change in product mix. For the second half of 2006, AnalogicTech expects to report revenue of approximately $39 to $42 million, exclusive of any contribution from its pending acquisition of Analog Power Semiconductor Corporation (APSemi).

Results for the third quarter and the second half of 2006 are anticipated to be below previous expectations primarily due to lower sales in Korea and Taiwan and softness in the wireless handset market.
