"We had another very good quarter that demonstrated the strength of our execution. We continued to build our product pipeline and further strengthened our capabilities with the recently closed TPack acquisition. AppliedMicro remains well positioned to capitalize on the OTN market as it rolls into the enterprise portion of the networks and our recent processor product releases are being well received by our customers," said Dr.Paramesh Gopi, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Bob Gargus, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We had a very strong quarter with significant improvements in virtually all profitability measurements. We are pleased with both our income statement as well as our balance sheet progress. Despite the excellent quarter we are cautious entering the December quarter given recent softening in the market."

AppliedMicro reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and also provides additional financial data that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP results and other financial measures reported by the Company exclude certain items that are required by GAAP, such as restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation charges, other-than-temporary impairment on investments, impairment of strategic investment, one-time acquisition related charges and non-cash tax adjustments. Income taxes are adjusted to an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate. These non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures and may not be consistent with the presentation used by other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and manage its operations. The Company is providing this information to allow investors to perform additional financial analysis and because it is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by analysts who follow the Company. The attached schedule reconciles non-GAAP results and other financial measures reported by the Company with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 

AppliedMicro management will be holding a conference call today, October 28, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time/5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss additional details regarding the Company's performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and to provide guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. You may access the conference call via any of the following:
