Actions Semiconductor Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results
Company Reports Q2 Revenues of $27 Million

ZHUHAI, China, July 19, 2007 - Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACTS), one of China’s leading fabless semiconductor companies that provides comprehensive mixed-signal system-on-a-chip (SoC) and multimedia digital signal processing (DSP) solutions for portable consumer electronics, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

All financial results are reported on U.S. GAAP basis.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $27.0 million, compared to $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2006, and $30.3 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $9.8 million, or $0.11 per ADS, compared to $18.1 million, or $0.21 per ADS for the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $12.7 million, or $0.15 per ADS for the first quarter of 2007.

Actions Semiconductor reported operating margins of 25.6% and gross margins of 46.8% for the second quarter of 2007. The Company ended the quarter with $207.6 million cash and cash equivalents together with time deposits, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities.

“While we maintained our market leadership and grew unit shipment volumes both on a sequential and annual basis, our second quarter results were impacted by increased pricing pressure and customers experiencing challenges in securing small panel display supplies,” commented Nan-Horng Yeh, Chief Executive Officer of Actions Semiconductor. “We are enthusiastic about expanding our market opportunities through our high-end Series 13 products, which will commence volume shipments during the third quarter as planned. By offering a full range of portable media player(“PMP”) products to the U.S. market at a superior cost-performance ratio we should continue to expand our market share and attract new customers in the U.S. and globally. We remain confident in our compelling business model and commitment to executing our long-term growth strategy as we continue our market dominance as a leading global PMP SoC supplier.”

Business Outlook

The following statements are based upon management’s current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Actions Semiconductor estimates revenue in the range of $30 to $32 million, and, fully diluted earnings per ADS of $0.14 to $0.16.
