MICRO LINEAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

     Micro Linear Corporation is a worldwide supplier of integrated circuits to the communications market. Our products are used in high-speed networks, including wireless networks, supporting broadband digital voice, data and video transmission in the enterprise and the home. Our headquarters are in San Jose, California. In addition to our San Jose engineering group, we have design centers in Salt Lake City, Utah and Cambridge, England. We operate in a single industry segment, and serve our customers through worldwide direct sales, manufacturer’s representatives, and distributors.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

     We report results of operations on the basis of fifty-two or fifty-three week periods, ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2001 ended on December 30, 2001. The second quarter of 2001 ended on July 1, 2001. The second quarter of 2002 ended on June 30, 2002. For presentation purposes, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements refer to the calendar month or year end of each period.

Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micro Linear Corporation and our subsidiary in the United Kingdom. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to state fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002.

Use of Estimates

     In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Related Party Transaction

     In May 2002, Timothy Richardson was elected as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. We extended a bridge loan to Mr. Richardson in June 2002, to assist him in purchasing a home in California pending the sale of his existing residence. The $450,000 loan is secured by a first mortgage on Mr. Richardson’s home in Georgia. The loan bears interest at the prime rate, which is 4.75%. Principal and interest will be due upon sale of the Georgia home or, if earlier, six months after the date of the loan.

Provision for Taxes

     The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002 consists of foreign taxes. No benefit for income taxes was recorded in the United States, as we believe that the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that we have recorded a full valuation allowance.

Comprehensive Income

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive loss, which consists of the net loss for the periods and unrealized gain or loss on short-term marketable securities, is as follows (in thousands):

                                   
      Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
