               ACCELERATING PRODUCT SALES DRIVE Q2 EARNINGS AT CMD

Milpitas, CA, October 26, 1995 -- California Micro Devices Corporation, 
headquartered here,today said it reported net income of $836,000, or $0.08 per 
share, on revenues of $9.6 million, for the second fiscal quarter ended 
September 30, 1995.  This compares with a loss of $1,621,000, or ($0.19) 
per share, on revenues of $7.8 million for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1994.  Average shares and share equivalents outstanding 
increased to 10,964,000 from 8,537,000 at September 30, 1994, including 
1,500,000 shares held in trust for the tentative settlement of class 
action shareholder lawsuits.

For the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Company reported net income 
of $1,353,000, or $0.13 per share, on revenues of $18.3 million.  This 
compares with a loss of $9.0 million, or ($1.06) per share, on revenues of 
$19.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 1994.

According to Jeffrey Kalb, CMD president and chief executive officer, "We 
are pleased with the results for the second quarter and look forward to 
ongoing improvement in our operations.  Our results for the past two quarters 
are a clear indication that we have turned the Company around.  We continue 
to gain new customers and increase business with existing ones, and are 
especially pleased with the rapid increase in revenues from our thin film 
product line and its acceptance into new designs.  Our business has been 
focused on areas that provide the greatest possibilities for growth and 
profit, and our strong balance sheet provides us with the resources and 
the staying power to grow the Company into a significant market power."

Net product sales totaled $9.3 million for the fiscal 1996 second quarter, 
ended September 30, 1995, as compared with $7.6 million during the quarter 
ended September 30, 1994.  Technology related revenues were $307,000 compared
with $255,000 in the year earlier quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 1995, gross margins on product sales 
increased to 43% of product sales compared to 19% in the year earlier period
due to improved operating efficiencies and increased sales of higher margin 
thin film products.  Operating expenses remain high primarily due to over 
$300,000 of legal costs associated with shareholder litigation and related 
matters.

For the six months ended September 30, 1995, product sales were $17.7 
millioncompared with $13.9 million in the year earlier period.  
Technology related revenue was $610,000 compared 



with $6.0 million during the six months ended September 30, 1994, due to a 
one-time sale of technology to Hitachi Metals, Ltd. during the quarter 
ended June 30, 1994.

For the six months ended September 30, 1995, gross margins on product sales 
were 43% of sales.  Gross margins for the year earlier six-month period were 
negative due to inventory write-downs and warranty reserves booked in the 
quarter ended June 30, 1994 (as restated).  Operating expenses during the 
six months ended September 30, 1995, were negatively impacted by over 
$500,000 of legal costs associated with shareholder litigation and other 
matters.

Both the three months and the six months ended September 30, 1994, include 
a $835,000 charge, or ($0.10) per share, reflecting the cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle related to a change in the method of 
recognizing revenue on sales to distributors.

California Micro Devices is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of 
integrated passive electronic components, which it calls IPEC(TM).  CMD'S 
silicon-based, thin film products are smaller, faster and integrate well into
the major electronic industry trends toward smaller, portable equipment, 
higher frequencies and greater functionality.
