Call MPS plans to conduct a management teleconference covering

28, 2006. Dial-in number: 719-457-2680, code number 4863421. 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. This press
release and any other information related to the call will also be
posted on the website at that location. In addition, a phone replay
of the call will be available for seven days at 719-457-0820, code
number 4863421. (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.
