ISSI Announces Second Fiscal
Quarter Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ISSI - news) today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended Mar. 31, 1999.

Revenues for the second quarter were $17.4 million, compared with $28.7 million for the same
period last year and $17.0 million for the December 1998 quarter. For comparison purposes, the
results for the March 1998 and December 1998 quarters are stated on a proforma basis to exclude
the revenue of ISSI's 43% owned subsidiary, ISSI-Taiwan. ''March revenue shows quarterly
sequential revenue growth over December,'' said Jimmy Lee, president and CEO. ''In late
December 1998, we completed the second sale of a portion of our shares in ISSI-Taiwan and our
total ownership of ISSI-Taiwan dropped below fifty percent. As a result, we will no longer
consolidate their revenue or income statement with ours. Our goal is to position ISSI-Taiwan to
eventually go public in Taiwan. One step required to accomplish this is that our ownership drop
below fifty percent. Including revenue from ISSI-Taiwan and NexFlash Technologies, our Flash
spin-off, our revenue in March 1999 would have been $29.0 million versus December 1998
combined revenue of $26.8 million.''

Net loss for the second fiscal quarter was ($3.9) million or ($0.20) per share on 19.5 million
weighted shares outstanding. Net loss for the second fiscal quarter of 1998, excluding the results of
ISSI-Taiwan, was ($2.1) million or ($0.11) per share.

''Although the first half of the March quarter was slow, the second half of the quarter saw
increasing sales activity and revenue growth,'' said Jimmy Lee. ''We currently expect this to
continue in the June 1999 quarter. With the completion last year of the spin-off of ISSI-Taiwan and
our Flash product line, our focus this quarter has been on developing new products in our core
business of SRAM and low to medium density DRAM. We believe improving market conditions in
these market segments, coupled with our renewed focus and strengths, can lead ISSI to positive
results.''

ISSI designs, develops and markets high performance SRAM, DRAM, EEPROM memory
devices, embedded memories, as well as voice products and microcontrollers. ISSI's products are
used in telecommunications, data communications, networking systems, personal computers,
instrumentation and consumer products.

Certain statements in this news release, including those related to the increased focus as a result of
the spin-off of ISSI-Taiwan and the Flash product line, improving market conditions for SRAM
and DRAM and the goal of a public offering for ISSI-Taiwan, 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, 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, fluctuations in the rates of foreign currency exchange, the timing of
industry cycles, the company's ability to successfully grow revenue, the performance of
ISSI-Taiwan, stock market conditions in Taiwan, 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 Annual Report on Form 10K/A for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 1998
and its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1998.
