Results for the previous quarter ended July 2, 2005 are based upon 14 weeks versus a normal 13 week quarter which is the basis for this quarters results. Results also include eCERA ComTek Corporation from the September 7, 2005 acquisition date through October 1, 2005. Net revenues for the first quarter were $22,473,000, up 6.4% from $21,121,000 in the preceding quarter and up 13.6% from $19,786,000 in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for the quarter was $625,000, or $0.02 per share (diluted), compared to GAAP net income of $1,173,000, or $0.04 per share (diluted), in the preceding quarter and versus GAAP net income of $29,000, or $0.00 per share (diluted), in the comparable period a year ago. During the quarter ended October 1, 2005 the Company implemented Financial Accounting Standard 123R (FAS123R), "Share-based Payment", which requires companies to estimate the cost of all forms of stock based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchase plans, and recording of this estimated compensation in the income statement. Implementation of FAS123R is required for fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2005, therefore the Company is one of the first to implement FAS123R. These expenses will be normal going forward. Since this is the first quarter including these expenses, for information purposes following are the amounts included in our GAAP and non-GAAP results for the quarter ended October 1, 2005: Cost of Sales $ 24,000 Research and development $ 121,000 Sales, general and administrative $ 133,000 Total stock-based compensation $ 278,000 NEWS RELEASE, NOVEMBER 7, 2005 Our GAAP financial results include unusual charges or events which are explained in the reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP financial results that appears in the financial statements portion of this release. Non-GAAP results are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. Pericom management believes non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors because it illuminates underlying operational trends by excluding significant unusual transactions. Our criteria for determining non-GAAP results may differ from other companies' methods, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended October 1, 2005, including the FAS123R expenses noted above, was $768,000, or $0.03 per share (diluted), compared to $1,173,000, or $0.04 per share (diluted), in the preceding quarter and non-GAAP net income of $29,000, or $0.00 per share (diluted), in the comparable period a year ago which does not include any expense related to FAS123R. Alex Hui, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pericom said, "In our first quarter we delivered sequential revenue growth on our core IC and FCP lines of 4.3% (normalizing the preceding quarter to 13 weeks), and achieved our sixth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability. Additionally, our acquisition of eCERA ComTek on September 7, 2005 provides a growing and accretive subsidiary that further strengthens and broadens our FCP line with vertical integration, captive low-cost manufacturing and local presence in the Taiwanese and Asian markets. We are also pleased with the increasing acceptance of our PCI-Express products for IT applications and our HDMI switching solution in digital video applications.

These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. o Including the full-quarter addition of eCERA, we expect a sequential increase in revenues of 18-20%. For the pre-eCERA IC and FCP business we are still reliant on a high level of turns business and expect revenues to be flat, plus or minus 2%. o With the addition of eCERA, we expect consolidated non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 33%, plus or minus 2%. GAAP margin will be slightly lower due to amortization of the eCERA inventory write-up to Fair Market Value required by acquisition accounting rules. o Operating expenses, including eCERA and FAS123R expenses, are expected to increase to approximately $8.9 million, plus or minus $200,000. o Other income, net, is expected to be approximately $1.0 million. o Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries is expected to be zero to $200,000. o Current expectation is that our tax rate will approximate 33%. Pericom will adhere to Regulation Fair Disclosure.
