  • Total cash was approximately $190.2 million as of December 31, 2010 compared to $182.6 million at the end of September 2010. The increase in cash is mainly due to cash flow from operations.

  • Industry's first family of 100 gigabit per second (100G) optical network processors for the Packet-Optical Transport System (P-OTS) and IP-over-DWDM transport markets.

Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $62.4 million compared to $66.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, representing a sequential decrease of 5.4% and an increase of 16% over the $53.7 million in net revenues reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenues for the first nine months were $189.1 million compared to $148.0 million for the comparable period last year, a 28% increase.

The net loss on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.0 million or $0.03 per share. The third quarter GAAP net loss compares with a net income of $3.6 million or $0.05 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and a net loss of $3.6 million or $0.05 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Year to date, GAAP net income was $3.0 million or $0.04 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $7.4 million or $0.11 per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $6.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $10.7 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Year to date, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $25.8 million or $0.38 per diluted share compared to $4.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

"Although we went into the quarter with knowledge of market softness, our performance for the quarter was slightly better than expected. During the year, we rolled out seven new leading edge TSMC 40nm products that are being very well received by our customers and are adding traction to the future growth of our OTN and embedded processor markets," said Dr. Paramesh Gopi, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Bob Gargus, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We continued to execute according to plan and beat our estimates. We also did a good job of managing inventories to help buffer volatile supply/demand cycles and better service our customers."
