Dear Fellow Stockholder:

Dialectic Capital Management, LLC (“DCM”) and the other participants in this solicitation (collectively, the “Dialectic Group” or “we”) are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 2,025,011 shares of common stock of California Micro Devices Corporation (“CMD” or the “Company”), representing approximately 8.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. For the reasons set forth in the attached Proxy Statement, the Dialectic Group believes that the Board of Directors of the Company is not acting in the best interests of its stockholders. The Dialectic Group is therefore seeking your support at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., at the McCarthy Conference Center, 690 North McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, California, including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), for the following:

To elect the Dialectic Group’s slate of three (3) director nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors in opposition to the Company’s incumbent directors;

To ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010; and

To amend the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 200,000 shares from 1,940,000 shares to 2,140,000 shares.

We are not seeking control of the Board of Directors. Through the attached Proxy Statement, we are soliciting proxies to elect not only our three (3) director nominees, but also the candidates who have been nominated by CMD other than Wade F. Meyercord, David W. Sear and John L. Sprague. This gives stockholders the ability to vote for the total number of directors (seven (7)) up for election at the Annual Meeting. The names, backgrounds and qualifications of CMD’s nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Company’s proxy statement.

BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICITATION

The following is a chronology of events leading up to this proxy solicitation:

Dialectic commenced accumulating Shares in 2006. By December 22, 2008, Dialectic had acquired an aggregate of 2,006,000 Shares.

From time to time, representatives of Dialectic engaged in conversations with representatives of the Company’s management regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects. Dialectic also has participated in the Company’s earnings conference calls since the Company’s fiscal 2008 third quarter call held on January 22, 2008. Representatives of Dialectic frequently asked questions on these calls.

On December 31, 2008, DCM sent a letter to the Board expressing its concern over the Company’s strategic direction and financial results, the composition and tenure of the Board and the compensation awarded to members of management and the Board. In its letter, DCM recommended that the Company return $33 million, or $1.42 a share, in a dividend to all stockholders and engage an investment bank and begin a sale process of the Company to a larger acquirer with a more diverse product line.

On January 5, 2009, Wade F. Meyercord, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, responded to DCM’s December 31, 2008 letter, stating that the Board favored retaining CMD’s cash, rather than returning cash to stockholders, and did not believe it was advisable to explore a sale of the Company at that time.

In January 2009, at the Needham & Company Growth Conference, representatives of Dialectic were scheduled to meet with representatives of the Company. The night before the scheduled meeting, the meeting was cancelled without explanation to Dialectic, and was rescheduled only after representatives of Dialectic contacted Needham.

In early February 2009, a representative of DCM’s advisor, B. Riley & Co., LLC (“B. Riley”), exchanged e-mails with Mr. Meyercord in an attempt to arrange a meeting with representatives of the Company to address Dialectic’s concerns regarding the Company. Mr. Meyercord referred B. Riley’s representative to Robert V. Dickinson, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who Mr. Meyercord stated was the focal point to address stockholder concerns.

On February 3, 2009, DCM sent a letter to the Board in which DCM expressed serious doubts as to the Company’s ability to successfully pursue an acquisition strategy in view of the Company’s acquisition of Arques Technology, among other things. The letter also questioned the Board’s decision to eliminate stockholders’ right to call special meetings and the ability of the Board and management to properly allocate capital.

On February 6, 2009, Mr. Meyercord sent a letter to DCM acknowledging receipt of DCM’s February 3, 2009 letter and advising DCM that the Board had considered its contents. The letter also stated that the Company had been contacted by representatives of B. Riley to arrange a meeting, but that the Company did not intend to meet with them.

On February 9, 2009, management of the Company participated in a video conference attended by representatives of Kaufman Bros. and Dialectic. Representatives of Kaufman Bros. asked questions focused primarily on the Company’s industry and customers. When a representative of Dialectic attempted to ask Company-specific questions, he was informed that his questions would not be accepted.

On February 25, 2009, representatives of the Company were in New York to hold a series of meetings with investors. Dialectic was not invited to participate in any of these meetings.

On March 4, 2009, as updated on March 11, 2009, in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, DCP delivered to the Company its notice of intention to nominate candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

On March 6, 2009, DCP issued a press release announcing its nomination of highly qualified director nominees for election to the Board.

On May 14, 2009, counsel for the Company contacted counsel for the Dialectic Group and requested to arrange for the interview of the Dialectic Group’s nominees by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”). On May 18, 2009, counsel for the Dialectic Group informed the Company’s counsel that the Dialectic Group was willing to make its nominees available to be interviewed provided that the parties were able to reach agreement on the composition of the Board assuming that the Dialectic Group’s nominees demonstrated their evident qualifications to the Nominating Committee. The Company’s counsel responded on the same date that the Company cannot accept this condition and that the Nominating Committee will be unable to interview the Dialectic Group’s nominees.

On May 19, 2009, a representative of Dialectic met with Mr. Dickinson and Kevin J. Berry, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in an effort to establish an amicable dialogue between the parties and to understand the Company’s revenue targets. The Dialectic and management representatives discussed the decline in the Company’s revenues and earnings, but the management representatives would not provide a timeline for achieving the Company’s revenue and margin goals that had been disclosed in its SEC filings.

In June 2009, representatives of the Dialectic Group reached out to Mr. Dickinson and members of the Board in an effort to avoid an election contest. Phone calls made by a representative of B. Riley to members of the Board went unreturned. Mr. Meyercord, in an e-mail to B. Riley, reiterated that Mr. Dickinson was the “single focal point” for stockholder concerns.

On June 15, 2009, John Fichthorn, a managing member of DCM, initiated a telephone conversation with Mr. Dickinson in which they discussed the composition of the Board and the parameters of a potential settlement to avoid an election contest. Representatives of the Dialectic Group followed up on this conversation with representatives of the Company in an effort to facilitate a prompt, negotiated resolution. However, representatives of the Company informed representatives of the Dialectic Group that Mr. Dickinson was travelling overseas and would not be able to continue discussions with Mr. Fichthorn until his return on June 26, 2009.

Mr. Fichthorn requested further discussion with Mr. Dickinson prior to his return from overseas. Accordingly, Messrs. Fichthorn and Dickinson spoke again on June 22, 2009, but, on the advice of counsel, Mr. Dickinson remained noncommittal as to the Company’s intentions regarding the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.

On June 26, 2009, after Mr. Dickinson returned from overseas, Messrs. Fichthorn and Dickinson had a telephone conversation in which Mr. Dickinson informed Mr. Fichthorn that the Company had selected a new candidate for the Board. Mr. Dickinson stated that the Company would provide representatives of the Dialectic Group the opportunity to meet with this proposed nominee if DCM executed a confidentiality agreement. Mr. Fichthorn expressed his willingness to meet with this individual in order to determine his qualifications to serve on the Board, but also emphasized the importance and benefits of having either a Dialectic Nominee, in particular Mr. Fichthorn, or a representative of another 5% or greater stockholder, serve on the Board.

On June 30, 2009, DCM and the Company executed a non-disclosure agreement as a prerequisite to the Dialectic Group’s discussions with the proposed nominee.

On July 1, 2009, Mr. Dickinson introduced Mr. Fichthorn, via e-mail, to Jon Castor, the proposed nominee chosen by the Board. Mr. Fichthorn promptly contacted Mr. Castor to arrange an interview, and again emphasized to Mr. Dickinson his position regarding having a Dialectic Nominee, or a representative of another 5% or greater stockholder, serve on the Board. Mr. Dickinson replied that he would discuss Mr. Fichthorn’s views with the Board, but that his own personal view was contrary to Mr. Fichthorn’s.

On July 2, 2009, representatives of the Dialectic Group interviewed Mr. Castor.

Effective July 7, 2009, the Board appointed Mr. Castor as a new director.

Between July 2, 2009 and July 3, 2009, Messrs. Fichthorn and Dickinson exchanged e-mails to arrange a time to discuss Mr. Fichthorn’s call with Mr. Castor and the composition of the Board. Mr. Fichthorn asked Mr. Dickinson if he was prepared to address Mr. Fichthorn’s position regarding stockholder representation on the Board. Mr. Dickinson replied that he did not have an answer for Mr. Fichthorn on that subject, but instead wanted to speak with Mr. Fichthorn regarding his views on Mr. Castor and explore potential alternatives with him. Mr. Fichthorn, who had only been afforded the opportunity to speak with Mr. Dickinson on this matter, then requested to speak with an independent Board member. Mr. Dickinson referred Mr. Fichthorn to Mr. Meyercord.

Between July 6, 2009 and July 7, 2009, Messrs. Fichthorn and Meyercord spoke by telephone and exchanged e-mails. During the course of this correspondence:

Mr. Meyercord indicated that the Board was not willing to include one of the Dialectic Nominees on the Board, although, when asked by Mr. Fichthorn, Mr. Meyercord could not articulate any downside to including a stockholder representative on the Board. Mr. Meyercord requested that the Dialectic Group forego an election contest at the Annual Meeting and evaluate the Board’s performance over the next year with the addition of Mr. Castor.

Mr. Meyercord indicated that the Board, while not opposed to adding an eighth director, viewed seven directors as an appropriate size, the Board did not believe that the representation of stockholder interests was sufficient in and of itself for service on the Board, the Board viewed Mr. Castor’s qualifications as superior to those of the Dialectic Nominees, and the Board would consider another individual recommended by the Dialectic Group, but that time was running short.

On July 7, 2009, Messrs. Fichthorn and Dickinson spoke by telephone. Mr. Fichthorn outlined to Mr. Dickinson the following proposal, which was sent by e-mail from the Dialectic Group’s counsel to the Company’s counsel:

The Board would redeem CMD’s stockholder rights plan, as called for by one of CMD’s principal stockholders.

The Board would amend CMD’s bylaws to permit special meetings of stockholders to be called by stockholders holding 5% or more of the outstanding Shares.

The Board would expand to eight directors to include a stockholder representative on the Board other than Mr. Fichthorn, either Mr. Gullard or Mr. Potashner.

Mr. Fichthorn would be given the opportunity to present at two or more Board meetings per calendar year.

The Dialectic Group would agree not to call a special meeting to remove and replace directors prior to the Company’s 2010 annual meeting, but would be able to nominate candidates for election as directors at the 2010 annual meeting.

During this phone call, Mr. Dickinson informed Mr. Fichthorn that the Company was working on a proposal to address the Dialectic Group’s concerns regarding stockholder representation.

On July 9, 2009, counsel for the Company informed counsel for the Dialectic Group by e-mail that the Company had been having discussions with a significant stockholder, other than the Dialectic Group, about including a representative of that stockholder on the Board, although unspecified issues had been encountered that rendered this potential appointment uncertain. Counsel for the Company inquired as to whether the Dialectic Group would consider a nominee of another stockholder that held fewer than 5% of the Shares. In light of this e-mail, the Dialectic Group determined it was advisable to file its proxy statement.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

Dialectic has made repeated attempts to engage in a constructive dialogue and negotiate in good faith with the incumbent Board to avoid an election contest. However, the Board has, in our opinion, not been prepared to address our serious concerns. Accordingly, we believe that the nomination of the Dialectic Nominees is the best option to maximize stockholder value, which has suffered significant deterioration under the current Board.

We believe that the Board lacks in accountability to stockholders and that the Board’s and management’s incentives are not properly aligned with stockholders’ interests. Furthermore, we believe that the Company’s operational and capital allocation strategies are misguided, and that the Company cannot afford to consummate an ill-advised acquisition while supporting a business that, in our view, has consistently failed to earn an adequate return on capital.

The Dialectic Nominees, consistent with their fiduciary duties, are committed to enhancing long-term stockholder value and to attempting to work cohesively with the rest of the Board to ensure that stockholder interests are properly represented.

We are concerned with the Company’s poor operating and stock price performance under the direction of the current Board

We believe that the realities of CMD’s financial performance are drastically different from what management has communicated to stockholders. In particular, while management has emphasized a string of 16 quarters in which the Company achieved positive operating cash flow prior to the macroeconomic shock of September 2008, a closer inspection of the Company’s performance paints a different picture. CMD’s highest annual return on capital has been a mere 0.3% since the Motorola business began to decline in 2006. Additionally, the importance of interest income to the Company’s cash flow should not be underestimated—during fiscal 2007 and 2008, interest income amounted to approximately 45% of CMD’s cash flow from operations.

CMD has experienced a steady decline in revenues and profitability. The Company has experienced losses in eight out of its last 12 most recent fiscal quarters. From fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2009, revenues have declined each year, from $70 million in fiscal 2006 to $49 million in fiscal 2009, and the Company recorded a net loss of $15 million in fiscal 2009, as compared to net income of $10 million in fiscal 2006. Consider also the percentage of net sales represented by the Company’s gross margin, research and development expenses and SG&A expenses in fiscal 2009, as compared to the Company’s targets for these performance metrics:

	Fiscal 2009 (% of net sales)	Target (% of net sales)
Gross margin	30%	38%-40%
R&D expenses	21%	9%-10%
SG&A expenses	30%	15%-16%

We question the ability of management, under the direction of the current Board, to achieve these goals. The Company is concentrated in terms of product types, markets and customers and its margins have been steadily decreasing since the Motorola business began to decline. We believe that CMD faces an entirely different set of competitive dynamics today and that without more rigorous Board oversight, these targets are unlikely to be attained.

In conjunction with the Company’s poor financial performance, CMD’s stock performance has been dismal. While the Company has cited the weak global economy as a factor in its poor performance, we believe the current recession cannot come close to explaining the wide discrepancy in performance between the Company’s stock and the major indices used by the Company as a benchmark. Consider the following performance graph included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

* $100 invested on March 31, 2004 in stock or index including re-investment of dividends.

Fiscal year ended March 31.

		3/04		3/05		3/06		3/07		3/08		3/09
California Micro Devices Corporation	$	100.00	$	37.71	$	59.07	$	34.95	$	21.96	$	18.15
NASDAQ Composite		100.00		100.25		117.33		121.43		114.29		76.65
S&P 500	$	100.00	$	104.83	$	114.97	$	126.16	$	117.45	$	70.85

The stock price performance included in this graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

As a result of the Company’s poor operating performance, among other factors, the Company’s enterprise value was under $10 million as of March 31, 2009. Effectively, investors are attributing little value to the operating businesses of the Company. We believe this indicates an extreme lack of confidence in the current Board’s and management’s ability to generate acceptable returns, a concern that, as evidenced by the performance graph, stockholders have had to endure for years.

We are concerned that the Company will continue to misallocate stockholder capital

We are extremely concerned about the Company’s search for acquisition targets in executing its growth strategy. We believe that management needs to devote its full attention to improving operational performance and that the quest for acquisitions will only serve to distract management’s focus. We also have serious doubts as to management’s and the Board’s ability to identify the right target, determine a reasonable price and oversee the successful integration of the acquired business, especially in light of the Company’s limited and poor acquisition history. At just $8.4 million, the Arques Technology transaction, completed in fiscal 2007, is the only acquisition consummated by the Company during Robert Dickinson’s eight years as CEO. Less than two years later, the Company wrote off all $5.3 million in goodwill recorded for that acquisition. Given this outcome, we are highly skeptical of the ability of management, under the direction of the current Board, to create stockholder value through pursuit of an acquisition strategy.

We believe Board and management interests are misaligned with those of stockholders

The aggregate direct stock ownership of the Board and senior management amounts to 88,200 Shares, or 0.38% of CMD’s outstanding Shares. In addition, the Board has not adopted any stock ownership guidelines for the Company’s executive officers or directors. As a group, management’s and the Board’s economic exposure to CMD’s equity is concentrated in nearly 2,900,000 underwater stock options, which we believe encourages the pursuit of high-risk/high-reward strategies. Additionally, despite continued deteriorating results, the Board issued options to purchase 325,000 Shares to the Company’s top five executives during each of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009, and determined to make those same grants again in fiscal 2010. It is our view that option grants are to be earned and not a right.

We believe that the Board has demonstrated poor corporate governance practices

Specifically, in June 2001, two months after Mr. Dickinson was named CEO, the Board amended the Company’s bylaws to extend the advance notice deadline for stockholder nominations to 120 calendar days from 30 calendar days. Then, in September 2001, the Board implemented a poison pill without seeking stockholder approval. Furthermore, in December 2007, the Board deprived stockholders of their ability to call special meetings, reserving this right solely for the Board. We believe these actions serve to entrench the current Board and need to be reconsidered. We also believe that having Mr. Dickinson serve as the “single focal point” for stockholder concerns is inconsistent with the Board’s process for stockholder communications set forth in the Company’s proxy statement, and isolates stockholder concerns from the independent directors.

In our view, the Board has had ample opportunity to address the Company’s key strategic and operational issues

Consider that, excluding the one recent addition to the Board:

there has not been a change in the composition of the Board since 2003;

the average tenure of the Board members is 9.5 years; and

five of the six current directors are either retired or consultants.

We do not believe the Board has been proactive in addressing the Company’s declining operating and financial performance and overseeing management. Under the incumbent Board:

Annual revenues have declined 17.3% from $59.6 million in fiscal 2004 to $49.3 million in fiscal 2009.

CMD has gone from generating net income of $3.8 million in fiscal 2004 to reporting a net loss of $15.2 million in fiscal 2009.

The Company’s stock price has declined 70% from $9.13 on December 31, 2003 to $2.80 on July 28, 2009.

Although the Company recently appointed Jon Castor to the Board, we believe his appointment was made in reaction to the nomination of the Dialectic Nominees and does little to address the fundamental issues we have raised. We believe it is clearly time for a change.

We believe that the Dialectic Nominees have the experience necessary to oversee

operational and strategic initiatives with a goal of maximizing stockholder value

Dialectic is a long-term stockholder of CMD, having held stock in the Company since 2006. The Dialectic Group collectively owns 2,025,011 Shares, or approximately 8.8% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. Accordingly, we are highly incentivized to maximize the value of your Shares. Our interests are aligned with the interests of all stockholders.

If elected to the Board, the Dialectic Nominees will endeavor to use their extensive financial and operational experience to implement strategic and operational changes at the Company, including realigning CMD’s cost structure, allocating capital more efficiently and overseeing management’s execution. The Dialectic Nominees do not have present plans to pursue specific actions, but rather intend to undertake a thorough review of the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects to develop specific strategies for achieving these objectives. The Dialectic Nominees are not committed to paying a large special cash dividend or pursuing a sale of the Company; however, they will, consistent with their fiduciary duties, explore any viable alternatives to maximize stockholder value.

The Dialectic Nominees, if elected, will represent a minority of the Board. If elected, the Dialectic Nominees will, subject to their fiduciary duties as directors, work with the other members of the Board to take those steps that they deem are necessary to maximize stockholder value. Although the Dialectic Nominees will not be able to adopt any measures without the support of at least some members of the current Board, we believe that the election of the Dialectic Nominees will send a strong message to the Board regarding the meaningful change desired by CMD stockholders. There can be no assurance that the goals of the Dialectic Group will be achieved if the Dialectic Nominees are elected.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Dialectic Group is seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect the Dialectic Nominees. The Board is currently composed of seven (7) directors. The Dialectic Group believes that seven (7) directors are up for election at the Annual Meeting to serve one-year terms expiring at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been selected and qualified. For the reasons stated above, we are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect the Dialectic Nominees in opposition to three (3) of the Company’s seven (7) director nominees. Your vote to elect the Dialectic Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing three (3) incumbent directors of the Company with the Dialectic Nominees. If elected, the Dialectic Nominees will represent a minority of the members of the Board.

THE DIALECTIC NOMINEES

The Dialectic Nominees are independent of the Company in accordance with the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market rules on board independence. If elected, and subject to their fiduciary duties as directors, the Dialectic Nominees would work with the other members of the Board to take those steps that they deem are necessary or advisable to maximize value for all stockholders.

Each of the Dialectic Nominees has consented to serve as a director of the Company if elected and to being named in this Proxy Statement. The Dialectic Nominees will not receive any compensation from any member of the Dialectic Group for their services as directors of the Company. Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between members of the Dialectic Group and any of the Dialectic Nominees or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Dialectic Nominees described herein is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Dialectic Nominees to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of CMD if elected as such at the Annual Meeting. None of the Dialectic Nominees is a party adverse to CMD or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to CMD or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.

The Dialectic Group does not expect that the Dialectic Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event that such persons are unable to serve or, for good cause, will not serve, the Shares represented by the enclosed GOLD proxy card will be voted for substitute nominees, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws or applicable law. In addition, DCP reserves the right to nominate substitute persons if CMD makes or announces any changes to its Amended and Restated Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying the Dialectic Nominees. In any such case, Shares represented by the enclosed GOLD proxy card will be voted for such substitute nominees, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws or applicable law. DCP reserves the right to nominate additional persons if CMD increases the size of the Board above its existing size. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position of DCP that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to classify the Board constitutes an unlawful manipulation of the Company’s corporate machinery.

YOU ARE URGED TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE DIALECTIC NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

COMPANY PROPOSAL TO RATIFY SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

As discussed in further detail in the Company’s proxy statement, the Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company for the current fiscal year. The Board has submitted this proposal to stockholders for ratification as a corporate governance practice.

We do not object to the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

COMPANY PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

As discussed in further detail in the Company’s proxy statement, the Compensation Committee of the Board recommended, and the Board approved, an amendment to the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of the Company (as amended, the “Purchase Plan”), subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, to increase the number of Shares reserved under the Purchase Plan by 200,000. The Company is submitting the amendment to the Purchase Plan to stockholders for their consideration at the Annual Meeting.

THE DIALECTIC GROUP RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

Only stockholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each Share is entitled to one vote. Stockholders who sell Shares before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such Shares. Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such Shares after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, the Dialectic Group believes that the only outstanding class of securities of CMD entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the Shares.

Shares represented by properly executed GOLD proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted FOR the election of the Dialectic Nominees to the Board, FOR the election of the candidates who have been nominated by the Company other than Wade F. Meyercord, David W. Sear and John L. Sprague, FOR the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, FOR the amendment of the Purchase Plan and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

According to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the Board intends to nominate seven (7) candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect not only the Dialectic Nominees, but also the candidates who have been nominated by the Company other than Wade F. Meyercord, David W. Sear and John L. Sprague. This gives stockholders who wish to vote for the Dialectic Nominees and such other persons the ability to do so. Under applicable proxy rules, we are required either to solicit proxies only for the Dialectic Nominees, which could result in limiting the ability of stockholders to fully exercise their voting rights with respect to the Company’s nominees, or to solicit for the Dialectic Nominees and for fewer than all of the Company’s nominees, which enables a stockholder who desires to vote for the Dialectic Nominees to also vote for those of the Company’s nominees for whom we are soliciting proxies. The names, backgrounds and qualifications of the Company’s nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Company’s proxy statement. There is no assurance that any of the Company’s nominees will serve as directors if the Dialectic Nominees are elected.

QUORUM

In order to conduct any business at the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present in person or represented by valid proxies. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of a proposal has been obtained.

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

Vote required for the election of directors. The seven nominees who receive the most votes will be elected as directors; votes cast against the director or withheld have no legal effect. Any Shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-votes or otherwise) will have no impact on the election of directors, except to the extent that withholding the authority to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger number of votes.

Vote required for the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP. According to the Company’s proxy statement, to be approved, the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants must receive “For” votes from the majority of Shares represented in person or by proxy and voting on the proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes for or against this proposal or in the calculation of the total votes cast.

Vote required for amendment of the 1995 Plan. According to the Company’s proxy statement, to be approved, the amendment of the 1995 Plan must receive “For” votes from the majority of Shares represented in person or by proxy and voting on the proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes for or against this proposal or in the calculation of the total votes cast.

DISCRETIONARY VOTING

Many brokers are subject to rules which prohibit them from voting on certain proposals unless they receive specific instruction from the beneficial owner to vote on such matters. Such rules currently prohibit the brokers to vote with respect to proposals related to contested director elections and equity compensation, such as Proposals 1 and 3, absent such instruction, but such rules currently do not prohibit the brokers to vote on Proposal 2 related to ratification of accountants in the absence of such instructions if and as they choose. Accordingly, your Shares will not be voted in the election for directors or on Proposal 3 if you hold your Shares in street name and do not instruct your broker how to vote.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Stockholders of CMD may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of revocation. The delivery of a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to the Dialectic Group in care of Okapi Partners at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement or to CMD at 490 N. McCarthy Boulevard, #100, Milpitas, California 95035, or any other address provided by CMD. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to CMD, the Dialectic Group requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to the Dialectic Group in care of Okapi Partners at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that the Dialectic Group will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date and the number of outstanding Shares represented thereby. Additionally, Okapi Partners may use this information to contact stockholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies for the election of the Dialectic Nominees.

IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE DIALECTIC NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF GRANT THORNTON LLP OR FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE PURCHASE PLAN, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Proxy Statement is being made by the Dialectic Group. Proxies may be solicited by mail, facsimile, telephone, telegraph, Internet, in person and by advertisements.

Dialectic has entered into an agreement with Okapi Partners for solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation, for which Okapi Partners will receive a fee not to exceed $50,000, together with reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. Okapi Partners will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. Dialectic has requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Shares they hold of record. Dialectic will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. It is anticipated that Okapi Partners will employ approximately 10-15 persons to solicit the Company’s stockholders for the Annual Meeting.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by DCP pursuant to the terms of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement (as described below). Costs of this solicitation of proxies are currently estimated to be approximately $375,000. DCP estimates that through the date hereof, its expenses in connection with this solicitation are approximately $150,000. DCP intends to seek reimbursement from CMD of all expenses it incurs in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of the Dialectic Nominees to the Board at the Annual Meeting. DCP does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of security holders of the Company.

SCHEDULE II

The following table is reprinted from CMD’s proxy statement filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2009.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of July 20, 2009, by (i) each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by the Company to own beneficially 5% or more of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) each of the Company’s directors; (iii) the Named Executive Officers (as defined under “Executive Compensation” in the Company’s proxy statement); and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise noted and subject to community property laws, the persons or entities in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. Also except as otherwise noted, the address of each such person or entity is 490 North McCarthy Boulevard, #100, Milpitas, California 95035. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by each person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 20, 2009, are deemed outstanding. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The number of Company shares outstanding as of July 20, 2009, was 22,917,914.
