Semiconductor Forecast for 2006 Will be the Focus of President’s Presentation

Phoenix, Arizona July 12, 2005 - Semico Research announced today that Jim Feldhan, President, will participate in the 23rd Annual State of the Industry Breakfast on the panel titled, "Semiconductor Forecast for 2005-2006." Semiconductor International will host this annual breakfast on July 13, 2005, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California.

Semico Research developed the Inflection Point Indicator (IPI) to assist in forecasting semiconductor revenues approximately three quarters in advance. IPI—combined with our bill-of-materials, end-market analysis and primary research—has led Semico Research to accurately forecast the industry ahead of all other prognosticators. “For the remainder of 2005, we forecast a slight revenue dip of 1.1% in 3Q05, followed by positive growth of 2.1% in the fourth quarter,” said Mr. Feldhan.

Mr. Feldhan is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, July 13, in the Concert Ballroom. He will join the following panel members scheduled to participate; Dean Freeman, Principal Analyst, Gartner Dataquest; George Burns, President, Strategic Marketing Associates; and Dan Niles, CEO Neuberger Berman Technology Management LLC.
