Dr. Giora Dishon, President & CEO of Nova commented, The second quarter results reflect the continuous growth of the company and is the third consecutive quarter with a growing net income. The improvements are a result of the continuing growth in the semiconductor industry, with the addition of our new products for CMP, copper CMP and Etch, as well as the continuous move to Asia Pacific and Japan. The sustained improvement in our financial performance is very encouraging after over two years of losses. We are also very positive with our growth and the growth we see in the industry, as well as our strong cash position. In line with the outlook we provided at the beginning of July, for the third quarter of 2004 we continue to expect growth in revenues and profitability.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para (List) Indent Lv 0- TNR" FSL="Workstation"
Dr. Dishon added, The semiconductor industry continues to invest primarily in the new and expanded 300mm lines, employing more advanced technology nodes. We are seeing increased prolifiration of our new process control systems. In particular, we are seeing significant demand for our NovaScan CD systems in both Stand-alone and Integrated configurations, along with continuing demand for our 200mm systems.

Dr. Dishon concluded, The latest (July 2004) Dataquest market research forecasts a 64% growth in the WFE (wafer fab equipment) market for 2004 and another 15% in 2005. Thus, we will work hard to achieve continuous growth in our activities in all process control areas, continuing expansion of our business in the Asia Pacific and Japan regions, as well as continuous improvements in our financial performance.
