Ian;

Reference my call on June 12th:

A couple of things led me to this conclusion:

- We all had concluded that the first Samsung sale was 300mm a long time ago. Brad confirmed a least 4 300mm Aspen III's in production and was "very upbeat after just coming back from Korea" , ie another big order on the way.

- With this info, and the recent pullup of 300mm programs they were ready to grab share.

- As I've stated since Sept, I hear this tool is outstanding, a big step change from the Aspen II.

- Look at the price, just over $1M/tool for a 300mm that has a smaller footprint than other 200mm tools and outproduces them also. I would guess that they have a 50% lower manufacturing cost/tool than the others based on pricing and noted gross margins.

Best Regards,
John Stewart
