        KFAR SAVA, Israel – July 23, 2007 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: SILC) today reported record revenues, operating income and net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

        Revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were $6.6 million, an increase of 82% compared with $3.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2006. These are the Company’s highest revenues on record and its 14th consecutive quarter of rising sales, representing 9% growth compared to the first quarter of 2007.

        Operating income for the quarter reached a record of $1.4 million, an increase of 346% compared to the second quarter of 2006. Net income for the second quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share ($0.26 per basic share), a 392% increase compared to $319,000, or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) for the second quarter of 2006.

        Revenues for the first half of 2007 were $12.7 million, an increase of 83% compared with $6.9 million recorded in the first six months of 2006. Operating income for the period was $2.6 million compared to $816,000 for the first half of 2006.

        Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “The second quarter was another period of growing sales and profits for Silicom. We are particularly proud of the above-20% operating margins that we have achieved for both the quarter and the six-month period, a result of our ability to leverage our current cost structure to support a higher level of sales. Our balance sheet includes the contribution of the successful PIPE (Private Investment into Public Entity) financing with gross proceeds of $17.9 million that we closed in May, a transaction that we carried out to increase our working capital and to fund our long-term work plans. Taken as a whole, we are pleased with our progress and working to build the Company for the benefit of our shareholders.”
