Question: Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel Partners - Analyst
: Very good and thank you, John. And I will start off with a few questions and then I will open it up. First question, you keep mentioning that you
spend a lot of resources on your chip development for the benefit of your component business.
Question: Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel Partners - Analyst
: And I was wondering if you could just elaborate a little bit more on that, why is it so important and is it simply because there's just not enough
good other merchant vendors out there right now?
Question: Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel Partners - Analyst
: Great. And can you also talk a little bit about the competitive landscape? Obviously, we're in the very early phases of the LED market. How is the
competitive landscape today? How do you expect that to change? And can you maybe also talk a little bit about some of the IP dynamics the way
you see them today?
Question: Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel Partners - Analyst
: And you mentioned it's very important for you to be local because obviously this is a new market that's going to require a lot of cooperation. What
does that word mean as far as your international expansion capabilities, because I mean obviously, you are a U.S. Company?
Question: Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel Partners - Analyst
: Very good. I'm going to open it up to the audience for questions. Question over here.
