FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2006 BUSINESS OUTLOOK ------------------------------------------ Our estimate of operating results for the September 2005 quarter is as follows: o Net sales are expected to be between $121 and $123 million. o Gross profit margins are expected to be approximately 47.5% of sales, plus or minus a few tenths of a percent. o S,G&A costs are expected to be approximately 23.0% to 23.5% of sales. o R&D costs are anticipated to be approximately 15.0% to 15.5% of sales. o Amortization of acquired intangibles is expected to be approximately $.03 per diluted share, net of taxes. o Acquisition related adjustment to inventory is expected to be approximately $.01 per diluted share, net of taxes. o SFAS 123R stock option compensation is expected to be approximately $.02 per diluted share, after tax. o Using a share count of 76.2 million shares and an expected income tax rate of 38%, we anticipate pro forma earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $.08 or $.09. Pro forma earnings exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition related adjustment to inventory and the stock option compensation.
