As previously announced, MIPS Technologies formed a special committee of independent members of its Board of Directors to review the company's historical option grant practices and the company's accounting for its option grants.
Although the formal investigation concluded in January, the detailed accounting and related tax impact analysis has not been completed.
Therefore, MIPS is not releasing third quarter fiscal 2007 earnings at this time.
'MIPS experienced good licensing activity during the quarter, although, as we previously announced, our revenues were impacted by the movement of two licenses from the third quarter to the fourth quarter'.
'These licenses are now signed', said John Bourgoin, President and CEO.
'We made several significant announcements in the last 30 days, including MIPS 64 architecture licenses with STMicroelectronics and NEC Electronics'.
'The STMicroelectronics agreement is our first with them and should have positive implications for MIPS' business in China'.
'We were also very pleased to complete a licensing agreement with Trident Microsystems, ending the patent and trademark infringement lawsuit we filed last December and adding a significant provider of digital TV technology to our growing customer list', Bourgoin said.
