“The results of the first quarter are in line with our guidance and expectations, reflecting the flat level of demand in our marketplace. Our on-going cost control measures continue to bring us closer toward breaking even and profitability, while we follow our strategy of continuous enhancements of our product performance and specifications” said Rafi Amit, Camtek Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Amit continued: “We have recently introduced the Dragon, our new fully automated AOI system, which attracted significant interest from mass production PCB manufacturers. We are also planning to introduce new products for the microelectronics industry in the near future. These new products are the result of extensive R&D efforts, intended to improve our competitive position and meet expected demands when the industries we serve begin to recover”. “We are watching closely the developments concerning the spread of the SARS epidemic” Said Mr. Amit. “So far, the SARS has not impacted our customers’ activities and purchasing habits, or our ability to serve their needs”. “Based on the current overall activity level and slight increase in Asia, we estimate that our revenues in the next quarter will be in the range of $5 – 7 million”.

Camtek also informed that the Israeli Securities Authority has notified Camtek that, following the transfer of Camtek’s securities to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (SCM), Camtek is required to provide disclosure in Israel in accordance with the provisions of Chapter F of the Securities law, 1968 (similar to the requirements of a company listed only on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange). Based on the advice of its Israeli legal counsel, Camtek continues to believe that, notwithstanding the transfer of its securities to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, it is entitled to report in accordance with the provisions of Chapter E3 of the Securities Law. In light of the foregoing, Camtek is considering its alternatives, including submitting the matter to the courts or delisting its shares from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
