Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On May 12, 2008, ESS Technology, Inc. (“ESS”) announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. A copy of this press release is furnished as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information in this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of ESS under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Use of Non-GAAP Information
     In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), ESS also provides in the earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges as additional information relating to its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The calculations of non-GAAP financial measures have been adjusted to exclude write-down of investment, stock compensation expenses under SFAS No. 123(R), impairment of property, plant and equipment, gain on sale of our Blu-ray technology and tangible assets, interest expense included in our provision (benefit) for income taxes and related tax effects. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, ESS has provided reconciliation within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as well as a statement disclosing the reasons why ESS’ management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors.
