                           CMD REPORTS CONTINUED GROWTH
                           ----------------------------

Milpitas, CA, January 23, 1996 -- California Micro Devices Corporation (Nasdaq
NMS: CAMD), headquartered here, today reported net income of $2.7 million, or 
$0.24 per share, on revenues of $10.6 million, for the third fiscal quarter 
ended December 31, 1995.  This compares with a loss of $3.0 million, or 
($0.35) per share, on revenues of $8.2 million for the three month period 
ended December 31, 1994.  Average shares and share equivalents outstanding 
increased to 10,946,000 from 8,551,000 at December 31, 1994, including 
1,500,000 shares held in trust for the tentative settlement of class action 
shareholder lawsuits.

Third quarter results included a one-time gain of $1.6 million, or $0.14 per 
share, from the previously announced sale of CMD's interest in Cell Access.  
Had this transaction not occurred, third quarter net income would have been 
$1.1 million, or $0.10 per share.

For the nine months ended December 31, 1995, the Company reported net income 
of $4.0 million or $0.38 per share (including the Cell Access gain), on 
revenues of $28.9 million.  This compares with a loss of $12.0 million, or
($1.40) per share, on revenues of $28.1 million for the nine months ended 
December 31, 1994.

According to Jeffrey Kalb, CMD president and chief executive officer, "We are 
pleased with the continued rapid growth of sales and earnings.  Product sales 
increased 10% sequentially, primarily as a result of new programs, and 
operating earnings showed a 34% sequential increase, in spite of continuing 
heavy legal costs.

We expect ongoing improvement in our operations, but the pace of sales growth
may be slowed somewhat in the near term by the widely anticipated flatness in 
the personal computer industry. PC's continue to be the most significant 
market for CMD products, and some of our customers have high inventories.  On 
the other hand, we have  seen significant order and sales growth in portable 
communication, which has been a key new product focus area for CMD.  With the
size, cost and performance advantages the Company can provide, this could 
become a significant portion of CMD's business quite rapidly.

During the quarter, CMD began to produce some revenue from foundry operations,
producing wafers for other companies.  Based on this initial success, the 
Company plans to expand the program to include additional customers and 
projects.  In this way, CMD can utilize some of its excess capacity and 
enhance the engineering and manufacturing capabilities in its Tempe, Arizona 
operation."

Net product sales totaled $10.3 million for the fiscal 1996 third quarter, 
ended December 31, 1995, an increase of 38% compared with $7.4 million during 
the quarter ended December 31, 1994.  Technology related revenues were 
$380,000 compared with $713,000 in the year earlier quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 1995, gross margins on product sales 
increased to 42% of product sales compared to 13% in the year earlier period 
due to improved operating efficiencies and increased sales of higher margin 
thin film products.  Operating expenses remain high primarily due to over 
$300,000 of legal costs incurred in the quarter that were associated with 
shareholder litigation and related matters.

For the nine months ended December 31, 1995, product sales increased 31% to 
$27.9 million compared with $21.4 million in the year earlier period.  
Technology related revenue was $990,000 compared with $6.7 million during the 
nine months ended December 31, 1994, due to a one-time sale of technology to 
Hitachi Metals, Ltd. during the quarter ended June 30, 1994.

For the nine months ended December 31, 1995, gross margins on product sales 
were 43% of sales.  Gross margins for the year earlier nine-month period were 
negative due to inventory write-downs and warranty reserves booked in the 
quarter ended June 30, 1994 (as restated).  Operating expenses during the nine 
months ended December 31, 1995, were negatively impacted by approximately 
$900,000 of legal costs associated with shareholder litigation and other 
matters.

The nine months ended December 31, 1994, included a $835,000 charge, or 
($0.10) per share, reflecting the cumulative effect of change in accounting 
principle related to a change in the method of recognizing revenue on sales to 
distributors.

California Micro Devices is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of 
integrated passive and active electronic components.  CMD'S silicon-based, 
thin film products are smaller, faster and integrate well into the major 
electronic industry trends toward smaller, portable equipment, higher 
frequencies and greater functionality.
