M. Thompson Goals Quotations

What we probably needed to do was not put that expectation on that he's going to kick four goals every game,

We set some aggressive operational and financial goals in the middle of last year, and I'm pleased to report that Fairchild has delivered impressive first-quarter results, ahead of our expectations.

We won't go out and score 30 goals against them, we have to be realistic and the first thing is to go for a win.

We remain committed to our gross margin improvement goals that have us reaching 30 percent in 2006 and mid-30 percent in 2007. Our focus in 2006 is on improving our product mix, delivering more new leadership analog and integrated power products while reducing our exposure to lower margin standard products.

We probably played him a bit long last week, to be honest. What we probably needed to do was not put that expectation on that he's going to kick four goals in every game. It's truly not what we expect of him and it will be great if he plays, and hopefully he comes though,
