The call will be webcast live and archived for all investors for one year on the MPS website at http://www.monolithicpower.com/cmp_02_inv_rel.htm.

(1) Non-GAAP operating expenses and net income or net loss differs from operating expenses and net income or net loss determined according to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). A schedule reconciling these amounts is included in this news release. MPS' non-GAAP operating expenses and net income or net loss differs from GAAP net income or net loss in that the non-GAAP figure excludes stock-based compensation expense, net of taxes. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in assessing what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non- GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of MPS' core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides the investor with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non- GAAP measures utilized by MPS.
