EX-99.1 2 v073471_ex99-1.txt FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ISSI ANNOUNCES SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL SECOND QUARTER San Jose, Calif.--May 2, 2007--Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI) today reported selected financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenue in the quarter ending March 31, 2007 was $60.0 million, compared with $62.1 million reported in the December 2006 quarter and $53.2 million in the March 2006 quarter. This represents a decline of 3.4% from the December 2006 quarter, and a 12.8% increase from the same period in the previous year. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $121.5 million at March 31, 2007 which was an increase of $12.1 million from December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to proceeds from sales of investment securities. The Company's inventory at March 31, 2007 totaled $55.6 million which was flat with the quarter ending December 31, 2006. "Demand for memories in our target markets was flat this quarter, while DRAM price declines capped a challenging quarter" said Jimmy Lee, ISSI's Chairman and CEO. "We are pleased with only a slight drop in revenue from the prior quarter, and strong growth over the same period a year ago." Due to the continuing internal investigation of its past stock option granting practices by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors and the pending restatement of the Company's past financial results, the Company is not providing detailed GAAP or Non-GAAP financial information for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company intends to issue full results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, and to file its Form 10-Q for that period, together with any restated historical financial statements, as soon as practicable after completion of the restatement. The Company was recently advised, as expected, that the Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a nonpublic formal order of private investigation in connection with its review of the Company's historical stock option granting practices.
