ISSI Announces Second Fiscal Quarter Results
Revenue Increases 73% Over March 1999 Quarter
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI - news) today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Revenues for the second fiscal quarter were $30.0 million, compared with $17.4 million for the same period last year and $23.3 million for the December 1999 quarter. The $30.0 million revenue represents a 73% increase over the March 1999 quarter and a 29% increase over the December 1999 quarter.

Net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2000 was $3.4 million, compared with a net loss of ($3.9) million for the March 1999 quarter and compared with net income for the December 1999 quarter of $0.5 million. The $3.4 million net income represents a 585% increase over the December 1999 quarter net income.

Net income per share for the second fiscal quarter of 2000 was $0.14 per share based on 24.9 million diluted shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss for the March 1999 quarter of ($0.20) per share based on 19.5 million weighted shares outstanding and net income per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2000 of $0.02 based on 22.5 million diluted shares outstanding.

``March results exceeded our internal expectations due to a very strong market demand,' stated Jimmy Lee, president and CEO. ``New products and our excellent customer base accelerated the financial results. These numbers reflect an underlying strength in the market place.'

Gary Fischer, executive vice president and CFO, stated, ``At quarter end our cash and cash equivalents total over $102 million. We believe we are well positioned to address the increased demand for ISSI's high performance memory products for the communication markets.'

ISSI designs, develops and markets high performance memory semiconductors used in internet access devices, networking equipment, telecom and mobile communications equipment, and computer peripherals. Our high speed and low power SRAMs and our low to medium density DRAMs enable customers to design products that meet the demanding connectivity, portability, and bandwidth requirements of the internet infrastructure.

Certain statements in this news release, including statements regarding the strength in the marketplace and ISSI's position to address the increased demand for SRAMs and DRAMs, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause volatility in the company's business, operating results or financial condition. Actual future results may differ from current expectations due to changes in industry conditions, slow-down in demand, the inability to develop new products, changes in average selling prices for the company's products, imbalances between supply and demand, the level of market acceptance of the company's products, competition, the cancellation, modification or delay of orders from customers, the level of inventory held by OEM customers, the timing of industry cycles, the company's ability to successfully grow revenue, or other factors. Further information that could affect the company's results is detailed in ISSI's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 1999.
