Can we start out with an overview and historical summary of Ibis Technology Corporation?
Mr. Reid: Ibis Technology is the world’s leading supplier of SIMOX-SOI wafers and equipment for the global semiconductor industry. Basically, we enable continued semiconductor innovation through advanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers and wafer production equipment. Ibis Technology was founded in 1987; we shipped our first silicon-on-insulator wafers in 1988, went public in 1994, and had revenues last year of approximately 15 million. We have about 100 employees today, and our customers are a blue ribbon list of the major semiconductor manufacturers in the world. We have a tremendous team of people who are energized by the new excitement around SOI technology that we’re seeing every day. We have established a new direction with the design and construction of our third generation of implantation machine. Thanks to a team of about 25 engineers from all different backgrounds, we have been able to develop our Ibis 2000 oxygen implanter machine, which will be completed by the end of 2001
