Lattice Semiconductor Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results

Forward-Looking Statements Notice:

The foregoing paragraphs contain forward-looking statements that involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including statements relating to our business outlook, statements relating to our confidence entering the third quarter based on a stronger backlog, continued traction with new products, and a significant win at one of the world's largest flat panel display companies, and its expected contribution to revenue, our expectation that these positive trends will off-set an approximately $2.0 million expected negative revenue impact in the third quarter from changing certain distributors from a sell-in to a sell-through business model, our belief that these changes will improve for us transparency and visibility at our end customers, statements regarding the moving of our warehouse to Singapore, our expectation that this will improve our shipping times to most of our customers, reduce our cost of supply and reduce inventory, our statement that we are taking certain actions to reduce staff as we work to even better align our resources with our new operating model, our statement that the actions will bring us closer to our goal of sustained profitability, our expectation that we will receive the remaining $30.0 million of other receivables from Fujitsu in the fourth quarter of 2009, our expectation that the charge for the staff reductions planned for the third quarter will be approximately $1.2 million, our expectation that our cost reduction actions will reduce our on-going expenses by approximately $1.5 million per quarter and the statements under the heading "Business Outlook-Third Quarter 2009 Quarter." Lattice also believes the factors identified below in connection with each such statement could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

We may be unable to improve our cost structure or reduce cost out of our supply chain. Fujitsu may fail to pay some or all of the remaining receivable owed to us on a timely basis, if at all. We may be unsuccessful in utilizing our balance sheet to provide innovative solutions to our customers, and unexpected events could impair our ability to make expected investments. Estimates of future revenue are inherently uncertain due to the high percentage of quarterly "turns" business. In addition, revenue is affected by such factors as current uncertainty in global macroeconomic conditions which may affect customer demand, pricing pressures, competitive actions, the demand for our Mature, Mainstream and New products, and the ability to supply products to customers in a timely manner. Actual gross margin percentage and operating expenses could vary from the estimates contained herein on the basis of, among other things, changes in revenue levels, changes in product pricing and mix, changes in wafer, assembly and test costs, variations in manufacturing yields, the effects of transitioning certain distributors from the sell-to to the sell-through business model, and compensation charges due to stock price changes.

In addition to the foregoing, other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements herein include global economic uncertainty, overall semiconductor market conditions, market acceptance and demand for our new products, the Company's transition of distributors to a sell-through business model, the Company's dependencies on its silicon wafer suppliers, the impact of competitive products and pricing, technological and product development risks, the compromised liquidity of the Company's auction rate securities, ability to improve customer service and reduce costs by moving our warehouse to Singapore, the effects of planned third quarter staff reductions, and the other risks that are described herein and that are otherwise described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes:

(1)  Intangible  assets  subject  to  amortization  relate  to  the  acquisition
        of  the  FPGA  business  of  Agere  Systems,  Inc.  on  January  18,  2002  which
        became  fully  amortized  during  the  first  quarter  of  2009.
(2)  Represents  costs  and  adjustments  incurred  under  the  corporate
        restructuring  plans  initiated  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2005,
        the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2007  and  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2008.
        During  the  first  and  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2009,  the  Company
        incurred  a  net  credit  of  less  than  $0.1  million  primarily  resulting
        from  changes  in  original  estimates  under  these  restructuring  plans.
        During  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2008,  the  Company  incurred  costs
        of  $0.9  million,  primarily  comprised  of  severance  costs  related  to
        the  resignation  of  the  Company's  former  President  and  Chief  Executive
        Officer.
(3)  Includes  a  $0.5  million  loss  for  the  three  months  ended  July  4,  2009,
        a  $0.7  million  loss  recorded  during  the  three  months  ended  April  4,
        2009,  and  a  $10.3  million  loss  recorded  during  the  three  months  ended
        June  28,  2008  as  a  result  of  the  Company  recognizing  an  impairment
        charge  related  to  an  other-than-temporary  decline  in  fair  value  of
        auction  rate  securities  held  in  Long-term  marketable  securities.
        Also  included,  for  the  three  months  ended  July  4,  2009,  was  a
        realized  gain  of  $0.2  million  on  sale  of  auction  rate  securities.
(4)  For  all  periods  presented,  the  computation  of  diluted  earnings
        per  share  excludes  the  effects  of  stock  options,  restricted
        stock  units,  warrants  and  Convertible  Notes,  as  they  are  antidilutive.
