Forward Looking Statements:
This presentation contains statements regarding operating trends, future results, new projects, and other market, business and product trends that
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the bringing of products to market with full documentation. Such statements contain words such as
“will,” and “expect,” or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, and include (without limitation) statements regarding growth,
opportunities, continued traction, contracts and improvements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual
results may differ materially from those discussed in any such statement. These risks include, but are not limited to: the ability to consummate a
transaction with GSI Technology, including, GigOptix and GSI Technology may not enter into any definitive agreement with respect to the proposed
transaction or required regulatory approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, if at all; if a transaction is consummated, the ability to realize
the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the ability to successfully integrate the two companies, or that the integration of GSI
Technology’s operations with GigOptix may be materially delayed or may be more costly or difficult than expected; that the proposed transaction
would materially increase leverage and debt service obligations, including the effect of certain covenants in any new borrowing agreements, the
ability to extend product offerings into new areas or products, the ability to commercialize licensed technology, changes in demand and purchasing
volume of customers, unpredictability of suppliers, our ability to control our costs of goods sold, the ability to move product sales to production
levels, the ability to cross-sell to new clients and to diversify, the success of product sales in new markets or of recently produced product offerings,
including bundled product solutions, the ability to improve productivity, and to do so in an efficient manner, the ability to resolve litigation matters,
and the ability to pursue and attract other merger and acquisition opportunities.  Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are
discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other sections of the GigOptix filings with the SEC, and in GigOptix’s other current and periodic
reports filed or furnished from time to time with the SEC.
All Information in this presentation is as of September 18, 2014.  GigOptix undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA Financial Measures:
These materials include references to non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income/loss, Adjusted consolidated non-GAAP net income/loss, and
Adjusted EBITDA. GigOptix believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the ongoing operations of its business and
provide better comparability between reporting periods and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in GigOptix’s operations. GigOptix does
not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute
for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. GigOptix believes the disclosure of the effects of these items increases the reader’s
understanding of the underlying performance of the business and that such non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures provide investors
with an additional tool to evaluate our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance.
