                   MoSys Updates Second Quarter 2006 Guidance

     SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2006--MoSys, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MOSY), the industry's leading provider of high-density system-on-chip
(SoC) embedded memory intellectual property (IP), today announced that it has
adjusted guidance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
     "During the second quarter, we concluded negotiations on a large 65nm
technology license and royalty agreement with a major integrated device
manufacturer (IDM). However, we now expect to sign the agreement this month and
recognize the license fee as revenue in the third quarter of 2006. It is
important to note that MoSys would have exceeded the high end of its guidance
for the second quarter if the revenue from this agreement had been recognized in
the quarter, as planned. As a result of this deferral, we now expect total
revenue for the second quarter of 2006 to be approximately $2.3 million," stated
Chet Silvestri, CEO of MoSys, Inc. "While we are disappointed that we did not
complete our agreement with this IDM prior to the end of the second quarter, we
are pleased that they have decided to move forward with MoSys' technology, as we
offer the most scalable and cost-effective solution for advanced geometries. The
industry's movement to 65nm is continuing at a rapid pace and we are
experiencing strong interest in our 65nm licensing program. We will provide more
detailed guidance for the third quarter during our second quarter 2006 earnings
release conference call."
     MoSys plans to release second quarter 2006 financial results on Wednesday,
August 2, 2006 after the market closes. The earnings call will be held at 1:30
p.m. PST.
     MoSys' original guidance for the second quarter of 2006 was published in
the Company's first quarter 2006 financial results release dated May 2, 2006.

     About MoSys, Inc.

     Founded in 1991, MoSys, Inc. (Nasdaq:MOSY), develops, licenses and markets
innovative memory technologies for semiconductors. MoSys' patented 1T-SRAM
technologies offer a combination of high density, low power consumption, high
speed and low cost unmatched by other available memory technologies. The single
transistor bit cell used in 1T-SRAM memory results in the technology achieving
much higher density than traditional six transistor SRAMs while using the same
standard logic manufacturing processes. 1T-SRAM technologies also offer the
familiar, refresh-free interface and high performance for random address access
cycles associated with traditional SRAMs. In addition, these technologies can
reduce operating power consumption by a factor of four compared with traditional
SRAM technology, contributing to making them ideal for embedding large memories
in System on Chip (SoC) designs. MoSys' licensees have shipped more than 98
million chips incorporating 1T-SRAM embedded memory technologies, demonstrating
excellent manufacturability in a wide range of silicon processes and
applications. MoSys is headquartered at 755 N. Mathilda Avenue, Sunnyvale,
California 94085. More information is available on MoSys' website at
