Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (ISSI), a technology leader, designs, develops and markets high performance integrated circuits for the following key markets: (i) digital consumer electronics, (ii) networking, (iii) mobile communications, and (iv) automotive electronics. Our primary products are high speed and low power SRAM and low and medium density DRAM. We also design and market EEPROM and Smartcards, and we are developing selected non-memory products focused on our key markets. We target high growth markets with our low cost, high quality semiconductor products and seek to build long-term relationships with our customers. We have been a committed long-term supplier of memory products, including lower density and smaller volume products, even through periods of tight manufacturing capacity.

Our outsourced manufacturing model is based upon a history of joint technology development relationships with key Asian foundries. For example, we had a technology development program for a 0.13 micron process with TSMC. We also make strategic equity purchases in selected foundries and currently we have an investment in SMIC, the first 8-inch foundry in China. We have expanded our presence in the important Asian market by adding design groups in Shanghai, China and Hsinchu, Taiwan, where we now employ over 80 design, product, and test engineers. Our design groups in China and Taiwan complement our core engineering and product management team located at our Santa Clara, California headquarters.
