FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ISSI ANNOUNCES THIRD FISCAL QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

San Jose, Calif.—July 24, 2008--Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI) today reported its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Revenue in the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $58.5 million, a 0.8% increase from the $58.0 million reported in the March quarter, and a 2.4% decrease from the $59.9 million reported in the June 2007 quarter. Net income for the June 2008 quarter was $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Net income includes a $0.9 million charge for stock-based compensation expense and a $1.6 million gain on the sale of investments. These results compare with net income for the June 2007 fiscal quarter of $4.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, which included a $2.3 million gain on sale of investments, a $2.3 million gain in connection with the settlement of a commercial dispute, a $0.9 million charge for stock-based compensation expense, and $0.9 million in legal and accounting fees for the restatement of our prior financial results.

Gross margins for the third fiscal 2008 quarter were 22.8% compared to 19.6% for the same quarter in fiscal 2007. The Company incurred an operating loss for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 of ($0.3) million which included $0.9 million in stock-based compensation expense. This compares to an operating loss of ($1.1) million for the same quarter in 2007 which included $0.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.9 million in expense for legal and accounting fees associated with the financial restatement.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $50.8 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $9.5 million from March 31, 2008. This increase was due to the combination of the reclassification of an investment to marketable securities, as one of our investments became listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, and cash flow from operations. The Company’s inventory at June 30, 2008 totaled $40.9 million, a decrease of $5.9 million from March 31, 2008.

“Our SRAM and ASSP businesses were strong in the June quarter, and we met our revenue guidance despite a difficult pricing and demand environment. We increased our non-commodity revenue by 7.1% year-over-year and further reduced our revenue from DRAM commodity products,” said Scott Howarth, ISSI’s President and CEO. “In addition, our gross margin increased 3.2 percentage points over the prior year as our product mix in target markets continued to improve.”

“We had a very strong quarter in design wins and we are optimistic about our future. Overall, we are pleased with our results, as we had our eighth consecutive quarter of profitability,” added Mr. Howarth.
