FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     SANTA  CLARA,   CA  -  (BUSINESS   WIRE)  -  December  8,  1997  -  Quality
Semiconductor,  Inc.,  today announced that, based on current  expectations,  it
estimates  revenues for the first fiscal quarter ending  December 31, 1997 to be
approximately $18 - $19 million.
     The  Company  believes  that this  shortfall  is due  primarily  to pricing
pressures  in its  networking  product  and  softness  in  demand  of its  logic
products. The Company also estimates that these factors will cause gross margins
to decline to approximately 27% to 30% for the quarter. As a result, the Company
currently expects to report a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.3 million to $1.6
million for the fiscal quarter.
     These  statements  about  essential  results are  preliminary  and based on
currently available information and management's  assumptions.  The Company will
announce its results for the quarter on January 21, 1998, after the close of the
market.
     Paul Gupta, President and CEO stated "Although we are disappointed with our
anticipated  performance in the first fiscal  quarter,  we are encouraged by the
continued acceptance of the Company's  networking products.  The Company expects
to ship over  900,000  units of  networking  products  in this  fiscal  quarter,
compared to shipments of approximately 800,000 units in the prior quarter.
     "We are also encouraged by our cost reduction efforts and yield enhancement
programs in our networking  product line. Based on these efforts and our current
expected  decline in average selling prices for networking  products,  we expect
the Company's gross margins to increase in the subsequent quarter. Additionally,
our fab in Australia is now qualified at 0.5 micron  production and received ISO
9001 certification  which we anticipate will enhance our cost reduction programs
while  providing  a low cost  alternative  source of supply  for  wafers for our
networking products.
     "At the same time, we are continuing  development  efforts in the Company's
high performance clock management  product line and expect that,  depending upon
competitive  pricing  pressures,  new  products  in this family will allow us to
increase the average selling prices of this product line."
     Various  matters  set  forth  in this  press  release,  such as  statements
relating to (i) the Company" anticipated first fiscal quarter financial results;
(ii) the Company's  continued  acceptance of its  networking  product line;  and
(iii) the Company's ability to reduce cost at a rate faster than the anticipated
price erosion are forward looking statements.

<PAGE>

     These forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual  results to differ  materially  from those in such forward  looking
statements.   These  risks  and  uncertainties   include,   without  limitation,
competitive  pressures,  including  pricing and competitors'  new products,  the
Company's ability to timely introduce new products,  trends in the semiconductor
industry, and the Company's ability to obtain design wins.
     Additional  factors that may affect the Company's business are described in
detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Quality Semiconductor,  Inc. designs, develops and markets high-performance
logic as well as networking and logic-intensive  specialty memory  semiconductor
products.   The  Company  targets  systems  manufacturers   principally  in  the
networking, computer and communications markets.
     The company's products include the 3.3-volt and 5-volt FCT and LCX families
of high-speed, low noise interface logic devices, the QuickSwitch family of high
speed,  low  resistance  bus  switches,  a family of low-skew  clock  management
products,  a family of analog switch  devices and new JTAG products  designed to
allow board-level testing of complex products. Quality Semiconductors networking
products  include  two  Fast  Ethernet  CMOS   transceivers  that  provide  high
integration solutions for the adapter, repeater, switch and card bus markets.
