Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On April 24, 2006, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (“Sun”) issued a press release regarding Sun’s financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2006. The full text of Sun’s press release, together with the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Non-GAAP Calculation of Net Loss Excluding Special Items and Operations Analysis—Consolidated, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Non-GAAP Calculation of Net Loss Excluding Special Items and the Operations Analysis contain non-GAAP presentations of net income (loss) and EPS (basic and diluted), which exclude certain items below the presentation of the GAAP presentations of net income (loss) and EPS (basic and diluted). The excluded items include restructuring charges; purchased in-process research and development; loss (gain) on equity investments, net; impairment expense; settlement income; settlement of litigation; valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and related tax effects. Restructuring charges related to Sun’s restructuring plans, including reductions to Sun’s work force, elimination of excess facility capacity and other actions. Purchased in-process research and development, and impairment expense are primarily related to the effect of Sun’s acquisition activity. Loss (gain) on equity investments, net, shows the effect of our investment portfolio management. Settlement income is a result of our settlement with Microsoft. Settlement of litigation is a result of our settlement with Kodak.

To supplement Sun’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Sun provides non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share data. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to Sun’s GAAP results and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Sun’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Sun’s performance by excluding certain charges, gains and tax effects that may not be indicative of Sun’s core business operating results. Sun believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Sun’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to Sun’s historical performance and Sun’s competitors’ operating results. Sun includes these non-GAAP financial measures because Sun believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the table entitled “Non-GAAP Calculation of Net Loss Excluding Special Items” following the text of the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

SUN MICROSYSTEMS REPORTS RESULTS FOR

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2006

—Revenues up 21%

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - April 24, 2006 - Sun Microsystems, Inc., (NASDAQ: SUNW) reported results today for its fiscal third quarter, which ended March 26, 2006.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $3.177 billion, an increase of 21 percent as compared with $2.627 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The year over year revenue increase was driven by recent acquisitions and by growth in traditional products. Total gross margin as a percent of revenues was 43.0 percent, an increase of 1.6 percentage points, as compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 on a GAAP basis was $217 million or a net loss of ($0.06) per share, as compared with a net loss of $28 million, or a net loss per share of ($0.01), for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 includes: $87 million principally related to intangible asset amortization associated with our recent acquisitions, $57 million of stock-based compensation charges relating to the implementation of SFAS 123R, $36 million of restructuring charges, a $4 million gain on equity investments, and a $4 million benefit for related tax effects. The net impact of these five items is approximately ($0.05) per share.

Cash generated from operations for the third quarter was $197 million and cash and marketable debt securities balance at the end of the quarter was $4.429 billion.

“We’re growing again. Products are winning awards. The Solaris^™ 10 Operating System is a runaway success. The next step is consistent profitability,” said Scott McNealy, chairman and CEO, Sun Microsystems.

“Each quarter we drive for measurable improvement in our products, customer acceptance, competitive position and operational execution. During Q3, we grew our business year over year in the United States, most of Asia, parts of Europe and almost all parts of the International Americas. We’re pleased with customer acceptance of our products in key markets such as telco, government, energy and retail, to name a few. We’re well positioned in the marketplace, and expect to reach new and traditional customers with our open source, industry-leading Solaris 10 software stack and our recently improved systems products,” said Jonathan Schwartz, president and COO, Sun Microsystems.

“Our investments in R&D during the past couple of years have resulted in a terrific product line. Combined with our recent acquisitions of StorageTek and SeeBeyond, as well as other technologies, we now offer a broader and more compelling portfolio of choices to our customers. We’re pleased with the improvement in demand across numerous geographies; in particular, our growth in the U.S. market was broadly-based across both traditional and nascent industries. We delivered the results we were anticipating, including our operating expense guidance for the quarter,” said Michael Lehman, chief financial officer and executive vice president, Corporate Resources, Sun Microsystems.

Sun has scheduled a conference call today to discuss its earnings for Q3 fiscal year 2006 at 1:30 p.m. (PT), which is being broadcast live at www.sun.com/investors.
