CONFERENCE CALL:
[Omitted Portions]
| John Macneil | Thank you, Martyn. Good morning and welcome to the second quarter 2005 earnings call. In a short while, Martyn will describe the details of our financial results for the quarter. And I’ll then discuss the quarter’s key business events. |
Before that, though, I’ll briefly comment on the recent S-4 filing by Trikon and Aviza. We don’t intend to discuss the merger proceedings in any detail on today’s call, since our focus is on our quarterly earnings. So this will be by way of a passing comment.
On June the 24th, Trikon and Aviza Technologies, Inc. announced that New Athletics, Inc., a company formed by Trikon/Aviza, had filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC in connection with the proposed consolidation of Aviza and Trikon through merger.
On July the 22nd, we received a comment letter from the SEC; that is common in this context. We are working with Aviza to respond to these comments as quickly as possible. We encourage interested parties to periodically check the SEC’s Website for further updates.

QUESTION AND ANSWER:
[Omitted Portions]
| S. Kandel | Wow. Fantastic. Last but not least, may I ask about the progress just on the merger with Aviza and when do you see the completion date occurring? |
| John Macneil | Unfortunately, beyond what I’ve already said on this call about the S-4 document, I can’t go into any more detail. This call is largely aimed at our Q2 earnings. So all I can say is, we recommend you look at the SEC Website on a regular basis and hopefully you’ll see an update on there once we get through the S-4 phase. |
