Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2006, Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (the “Company”) announced its fiscal 2006 third quarter results. Subsequent to the announcement, the Company received notice from the national tax authority in Israel, which removed a substantial portion of a tax contingency that existed as of December 31, 2005 that the Company had previously recorded to account for exposures related to the tax holiday status of its Israeli subsidiary. As a result, the Company has increased the income tax benefit in the third quarter by $1.1 million and revised the previously reported net loss of $(534,000) to net income of $584,000. The previously reported basic and diluted earnings or loss per share of $0.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 remained unchanged by this adjustment. In addition, the previously reported net loss of $(11.2) million or $(0.04) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was revised to reflect a net loss of $(10.0) million or $(0.03) per share.

The information in this Item 2.02 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed with the Commission.
