MICRO LINEAR CORPORATION NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

On September 6, 2000, Micro Linear Corporation (NASDAQ: MLIN), a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") sold its Power Management, Bus Interface, and Video
product lines to Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
for $11 million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of that date.
The transaction had an effective date of September 7, 2000.

The Power Management products which were sold include both off-line switching
controllers and battery management products. The Battery Management product line
which was sold includes many DC to DC converters and a family of boost
regulators currently supplied to leading PDA manufacturers. The Video products
which were sold include multiple generations of low cost filter/line drivers.

Micro Linear Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed
signal integrated circuits for a broad range of communications markets that
require high-integration, system-level solutions. These communication markets
include both wired and wireless local area networks and digital cordless
telephones.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000
has been prepared by applying certain pro forma adjustments to historical
financial information, assuming the sale occurred on June 30, 2000, after giving
effect to certain adjustments described in the notes to unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 have
been prepared based upon certain pro forma adjustments to historical financial
information, assuming the sale occurred on January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2000,
respectively, after giving effect to certain adjustments described in the notes
to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
of Micro Linear, which were previously reported in Micro Linear's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. These pro forma statements are
based on such consolidated financial statements after giving effect to the
transaction and the assumptions and adjustments described below. Certain
adjustments have been excluded which are not directly indentifiable to the
business sold to Fairchild including engineering and development costs,
administrative expenses, facilities costs and various corporate expenses. The
pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results which
would have been reported if the transaction had been consummated at the dates
indicated, nor necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial
position.

Basic net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share have been computed,
when the result is dilutive, using the treasury stock method for stock options
outstanding during the respective periods.
