Information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP measures adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specified charges, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its past financial performance and prospects for the future. However, the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results and trends, and management uses these measures along with their corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 21, 2006, authorized officers of the Company committed the Company to a plan to realign certain responsibilities within its Defense business unit, which plan will involve terminating the employment of 11 employees by the end of the current fiscal quarter. This workforce reduction action is expected to result in total cash expenditures of approximately $600,000, payable over the next three quarters.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 27, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding, among other things, a Special Meeting of Shareholders at which the Company’s shareholders will vote on a proposal to approve a stock option exchange program and related amendment to the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.

amortization of acquired intangible assets, a $5.3 million inventory writedown, $2.0 million in restructuring costs, a $0.5 million in-process research and development charge, and a $5.3 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. Excluding the impact of these charges, full-year non-GAAP operating income was $6.5 million. Full-year non-GAAP net income was $6.2 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.29 for fiscal year 2006.

“FY06 results are certainly disappointing to our shareholders, and to all Mercury associates,” said Jay Bertelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. “Defense spending shifting to more tactical requirements driven by the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; delays in achieving revenue synergies from acquisitions; acquisition integration issues; and slow adoption rate of 3D visualization in the life sciences businesses have combined to produce a disappointing year.”

Mr. Bertelli continued: “Looking to FY07, we have reduced operating expenses in some business units as a function of projected performance, and increased investments in others. Our intent is to grow revenues at a reasonable cost, which requires a certain critical mass, and be prepared to make adjustments to maintain an annual profit.”

Backlog

The Company’s total backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $105.6 million, a $4.5 million increase from the same quarter last year. The total backlog increased by $3.5 million from the third quarter of the current fiscal year. Of the current total backlog, $96.2 million represents shipments scheduled over the next 12 months. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.05 for the quarter and 0.99 for the full year.

Defense

Revenues for the quarter from the Defense business were $37.9 million, representing 61% of the Company’s total revenues. For the fiscal year, Defense business revenues were $131.3 million, representing 55% of the Company’s total revenues, compared to $148.2 million, or 59% of revenues for fiscal year 2005. The decline is the result of shifting priorities within the DOD and several large programs being deferred.

Commercial Imaging and Visualization

Revenues for the quarter from Commercial Imaging and Visualization were $11.7 million, representing 19% of the Company’s total revenues. For the fiscal year, Commercial Imaging and Visualization revenues were $51.8 million, representing 22% of the Company’s total revenues, compared to $49.2 million, or 20% of revenues for fiscal year 2005. The revenues increase was due primarily to the Company’s new 3D visualization product offerings.

Advanced Solutions

Revenues for the quarter from Advanced Solutions were $10.1 million, representing 16% of the Company’s total revenues. For the fiscal year, Advanced Solutions revenues were $41.7 million, representing 18% of the Company’s total revenues, compared to $48.4 million, or 19% of revenues for fiscal year 2005. The year-over-year decline was primarily in the semiconductor business.

Modular Products and Services

Revenues for the quarter from Modular Products and Services were $2.5 million, representing 4% of the Company’s total revenues. For the full fiscal year, Modular Products and Services revenues were $11.3 million, representing 5% of the Company’s total revenues.

Business Outlook

Recent Highlights

In the last few months, Mercury made significant progress toward its goals of returning to higher levels of profitability and renewing growth. New products have been released, orders for solutions leveraging breakthrough technologies have been announced, and our expansion into adjacent markets continued.

Just this month Mercury announced an order for a satellite ground system that will leverage hundreds of FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) working as a single system. As FPGAs grow in popularity for certain specialized computing tasks, this customer reference will position Mercury as the supplier of choice for applications that can be most effectively delivered using these exciting specialized processors. Notably, this specialized communications application was a perfect fit to leverage investments Mercury has made in the AdvancedTCA® standards-based Ensemble product line that was developed for wireless communications customers. This design win in an emerging communications market highlights Mercury’s competence in solving complex signal processing computing challenges. The revenue potential is estimated at $30 million to $50 million over the next three or four years.

Mercury’s leadership in FPGA technologies is also visible in our defense markets. In May, Mercury announced the new Echotek Series ECV4-4 FPGA-based family of mixed-signal products, and the first COTS digital receiver offering with seven Virtex-4 FPGAs. The ECV4-4 family enables the doubling of coherent channels in beamforming, a signal processing technique used to control the directionality of the reception or transmission of a signal on a transducer array, in applications such as signals intelligence (SIGINT) and Air Traffic Control radar.

Mercury’s strategy to leverage capabilities obtained from the 2004 acquisition of Momentum Computer, Inc. in defense markets is bearing fruit. We have taken orders for the Momentum Series VPA-200 board, which combines host, signal processing, and I/O carrier functionality in a single slot. The VPA-200 provides a flexible, multi-function feature set for price-sensitive, entry-level military embedded applications, and paves the way for higher-end implementations that require high-speed backplane interconnects made available by the new VXS standard. The Company also recently announced availability of the Momentum Series CP3-102, a conduction-cooled, CompactPCI-based single-board computer (SBC) that provides twice the processor density of available 3U SBCs on the market. The CP3-102 addresses space-constrained applications, such as small UAVs and airborne pods, as well as avionics and vehicle electronics for smaller vehicles.

Mercury also announced the availability of LNXexec, a Linux® programming and network environment for Mercury embedded computing solutions. Mercury has already adapted its products and services to embrace Linux and other OpenSource initiatives, and LNXexec enables its customers to migrate to the open systems environments, such as Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) and X-Midas, that are demanded by today’s users.

Mercury also achieved milestones associated with the strategy to assemble and distribute end-to-end medical diagnostic workflow software products. Mercury demonstrated integrated 3D visualization and analysis within a PACS workflow at the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) 2006 Annual Meeting held April 27-30 in Austin, Texas. Mercury has fully integrated its web-based Visage PACS software with the Visage CS Thin Client/Server 3D visualization system, enabling a seamless radiology workflow throughout the hospital enterprise. Furthermore, new customers were announced and significant follow-on contracts were signed.

VistaNav is a new Mercury product resulting directly from synthetic vision technology and domain expertise synergies associated with the 2004 acquisition of the TGS Group. Mercury announced

the release of VistaNav version 1.6 with the patent-pending “Radar Vectors” feature. VistaNav is the multi-function flight display system with synthetic vision technology that allows pilots to manage all phases of flight, from preparation to parking. The “Radar Vectors” feature provides 3D guidance during non-standard routings such as radar vector navigation or course deviations around traffic and weather. As we continue to enhance the capabilities of this product, we will market it to new adjacent markets in defense and commercial aviation.

In another effort toward renewing growth, the Company announced in June plans to call a special meeting of shareholders, for approval of a proposed stock option exchange program. The program is intended to provide the Company with an opportunity to restore, for eligible employees, an incentive to contribute to the future growth and success of the business, while reducing the significant equity award “overhang” represented by outstanding options that have high exercise prices and are no longer effective as performance and retention incentives.

Use of Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specified charges, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its past financial performance and prospects for the future. However, the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results and trends, and management uses these measures along with their corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results discussed in this press release is contained in the attached exhibits.

(1) Under GAAP, when calculating diluted earnings per share, convertible debt must be assumed to have converted if the effect on EPS would be dilutive. For Mercury, dilution occurs when net income is $4.0 million per quarter (using a 6% GAAP effective tax rate). Accordingly, for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2006, diluted shares exclude the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2005, diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2005, 4.1 million shares have been included in diluted shares and $0.6 million and $2.4 million of net interest expense and deferred financing costs have been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation

On a non-GAAP basis dilution occurs when net income is $3.0 million per quarter (using a 30% non-GAAP effective tax rate). Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, 4.1 million shares have been included in diluted shares and $0.6 million of net interest expense and deferred financing costs have been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation. On a non-GAAP basis for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, diluted shares exclude the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be anti-dilutive. On a non-GAAP basis for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2005 diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, on a non-GAAP basis, 4.1 million shares have been included in diluted shares and $0.6 and $2.4 million of net interest expense and deferred financing costs have been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation.
