I’ll now turn the conference over to Ms. Tricia Ross, Financial Relations Board.

Thanks for joining us to discuss Aehr Test System’s results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. By now you should have all received a copy of today’s press release. If not, you can call my office at 213-486-6540 and we’ll get one to you right away. With us today from Aehr Test are Rhea Posedel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Gary Larson, Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Management will review its operating performance for the quarter before opening the call to your questions. I’d now like to turn the call over to Gary Larson.

Before we begin I’d like to make a few comments about forward-looking statements. Please be advised that during the course of our discussions today we may make forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties relating to projections regarding industry growth and consumer demand for Aehr Test’s products as well as projections regarding Aehr Test’s future financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from projected results and should not be considered as an indication of future performance. These risks and uncertainties include without limitation economic conditions in Asia and elsewhere, world events, acceptance by customers of our FOX, ABTS, MTX, MAX and DiePak technologies and conversion of quote activity to purchase orders and acceptance by customers of products shipped upon receipt of a purchase order, the ability of new products to meet customer needs or performance described, the companies development and manufacturer of a commercially successful wafer level test and burn-in and the potential emergence of alternative technologies, each of which could adversely affect demand for Aehr Test’s products in calendar year 2009. We refer you to our most recent 10K and 10Q reports and other reports from time-to-time filed with the US Securities & Exchange Commission for a more detailed description of the risks facing our business and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. The company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this conference call. Now, I’d like to introduce our Chairman and CEO Rhea Posedel.

Welcome to our conference call for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. I don’t need to mention how much the current economic downturn has severely impacted our industry. While it finally caught up to us last quarter. We saw a number of our customers delay new orders and had some Wafer Pak delivery push outs at the end of our quarter that impacted our results. In spite of the contracting market for semiconductor equipment, we had a pretty decent quarter. Revenue was $9.2 million, down about 4% from the prior quarter. Importantly, we did an excellent job of delivering a net income of $872,000 up slightly from the prior quarter. Most importantly, we increased our cash position during the quarter to $13.7 million, up over $4.3 million compared to the prior quarter ending August 31st. One of our major objectives during this industry downturn is to maximize our cash position. This will give us the cushion to implement initiatives that will strengthen the company long term. Our strategy during this downturn is to develop more new products and to aggressively sell our new and existing products to expand our customer base and our markets. Our objective is to come out of this downturn a stronger company when the industry recovers. Even though I see manufacturers aren’t adding capacity, they will purchase systems that can lower operating cost and/or provide the new technology needed to meet their future testing and burn-in requirements such as Known-Good Die or KGD. The demand for KGD is driven by the industry’s migration to multichip packages or stack packages which will happen even during a downturn. We believe our FOX wafer level burn-in systems can provide a cost effective solution for producing KGD. The good news for Aehr Test is that we have a very strong…

Net sales were $9.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $9.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009 FOX-1 Wafer Pak contactors and FOX-1 system upgrades represented the large majority of our net sales. Gross margin was 50% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, essentially flat with the year ago period. The 50% gross margin is in line with our stated expectations given the costs associated with ramping up production of Wafer Paks. We anticipate that if net sales decline we will see lower gross margins. SG&A was $1.8 million in the second quarter, flat with the prior year periods. Second quarter 2009 R&D expense was $1.6 million, slightly higher than the $1.4 million in the second quarter last year. R&D spending varies from quarter-to-quarter depending on the level of development of new product. We have $384,000 in other income during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This was primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains on settlement of transactions in our Japanese subsidiary. Pre-tax income was $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and that’s $51,000 higher than the year ago quarter. Our effective tax rate was 46% in the second quarter compared to 13% in the second quarter last year. As we indicated on our last two calls on a going forward basis we expect to accrue tax expense at close to the statutory rates for the countries in which we generate income namely, the United States, Japan and Germany. This rate is expected to be in the vicinity of 45%. Our net income for the second quarter was $872,000 or $0.10 per diluted share compared with net income of $1.4 million or $0.16 per diluted share a year ago. Excluding stock compensation expense…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: SG&A was down a bit from the prior quarter, is that true reduction or was that a reversal of some accruals in the prior period?

It wasn’t a dramatic reduction from year-to-year so it was basically – [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Not year-to-year but it was $2.1 in the prior quarter and $1.8 this quarter.

Okay. I think what we saw in the prior quarter is we saw some additional expenses accrued that were not recurring this quarter. The level that we’re at is probably a more realistic level. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: You said that there was an order booked for a MAX, at one point somebody in the defense industry was looking at buying a ABTS, was the MAX order in lieu of that ABTS order?

No, this was always a MAX order. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Did anything happen with the ABTS?

I can’t remember which one we were talking about when I mentioned it to you but, I don’t believe we lost any ABTS business. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Did you book any new ABTS orders?

We did. We announced a new ABTS order along with our press release. We sold a high powered version of our ABTS system to a European embedded RF manufacturer. That was a major accomplishment. It’s a new product and a new customer for us. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: What’s the reaction been from the ABTS in Taiwan?

So far it’s been good. We announced that we had received an order from [IST], a logic test house I believe last quarter and we said we’re going to ship it over the next three to six months and so we haven’t shipped it yet. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: I thought it had already been shipped?

We shipped an evaluation which they liked well enough to place a production unit. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: But you have not actually shipped a production unit to Taiwan?

Not yet. Soon, we hope. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Has there been any further development on the kind of joint venture with [Enteris]?

Not as much progress in that area as we would have liked. We’re still working together and we would have hoped to have a little more business in that market but I think just the overall slowdown in the industry as affected our progress in that joint marketing development. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: The first FOX-15, have there been any other follow on orders from that particular customer?

That’s a good question. We’ve been told that the customer – obviously it’s an automotive IC manufacturer so their end customer has seen some slowdown in demand but they’re telling us they need another FOX-15 probably in the second half of 2009. We should see possibly a Wafer Pak contactor order this quarter from them so not a system but buying more of the consumables from us so that’s good. The more consumables they buy then the more system capacity they’re going to need down the stream. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: And they are telling you that another order may be forthcoming?

For the system, yes. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Spansion has announced that they are going to sell part of their Chinese test facility in a joint venture with ASE?

Right, I believe they’ve already done that, but that was a backend facility. It’s not a wafer start or wafer test facility. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: So none of your FOX’s are at that facility?

That’s correct. I think we do have some MTXs at that facility but no FOXs. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Will that development affect in any way your relationship with Spansion going forward?

No, I don’t think so. Most of the backend testing was already moved – the areas that are using our systems are in different parts of Malaysia and so forth so we had very little of our installed base there in Suzhou China. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Most of your FOXs are down in Malaysia?

No, the MTXs that they were using for backend testing. The FOXs are mostly in Japan. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Do you have any significant relationship with ASE?

Yes. ASE has a number of our MAX systems that they use for a wide variety of applications so we’ve had a long term relationship with ASE. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: Does ASE have any experience with your FOXs in Japan? Have they seen them and things like that?

I can’t say. I think ASE really does package part assembly and package part test. I don’t think they do much wafer test or wafer sort as they call it. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: In the press release you said a number of orders have been deferred. Could you put a dollar figure on that?

I would say at the end of the quarter it could have been $1 million. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: That were deferred that are finished goods sitting in your facility?

Correct. That were pushed out. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: So in fact, if those orders had been included you would have been spot on or indeed a little bit ahead of the original?

That’s correct. I think it was like two to three Wafer Paks, maybe three that moved out. [Jeffrey Scott – Scott Asset Management]: So in fact it was a very decent quarter just a very lousy outlook.

Correct. We executed perfectly in the quarter and executed the plan.

Our next question from [Marcel Herbs – Herbs Capital Management]. [Marcel Herbs – Herbs Capital Management]: I have a follow up question on Spansion, what percentage of revenue did they contribute for the first half of the fiscal year?

We haven’t given out the exact percentage yet. You’ll see it in the Q but it was a very high percentage. Spansion has been a very high percentage of our revenue for the last several quarters. [Marcel Herbs – Herbs Capital Management]: Going forward how dependant are you on Spansion as a customer?

As Gary mentioned, Spansion has been a significant part of our business the past 12 months. We are aware of that and we’re aggressively – we don’t want to reduce the business with Spansion, we want to increase the other business that we have with selling FOX products to new customers and selling or ABTS products. I think that you will see the percentage of our business with Spansion going down, the non Spansion business should go up as a percentage of revenues going forward although Spansion will probably still be our most significant customer.

There are no further questions at this time. Please continue with any closing comments.

I’d like to thank you all for joining us this afternoon and we look forward to next quarter’s conference call.
