Thurman Case
Analyst · Roth Capital Partners. Please go ahead sir
Thank you, operator, and good afternoon. Joining me on today's call is David French, Cirrus Logic's President and Chief Executive Officer. As stated in our press release earlier today, we are limited in the amount of financial results we will be able to discuss until our special committee completes its review of the Company's historical stock option granting practices and related accounting matters. Because of the pending nature of this review, all financial numbers for the second fiscal quarter are preliminary results and subject to adjustment. As a result, we will not provide any specifics about our gross margin or operating expense for the second quarter. The special committee is working to complete its stock option review in a timely manner. However, in light of the review, the Company may not be in a position to file its Form 10-Q for the second fiscal quarter by the November 2, 2006, filing deadline, or the permitted extension to November 7, 2006. I would also like to remind you that during the course of this conference call, we will make projections and other forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our estimates for the third quarter fiscal year 2007 revenues, cash generation from operations, as well as our estimates and assumptions regarding our future revenue growth. Please keep in mind that these statements are predictions and are subject to risk and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ materially from our projections. By providing this information, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise. Please refer to our press release issued today, which is available on our website at www.cirrus.com, our latest Form 10-K for the fiscal year, ended March 25, 2006, as well as our other filings made with the Securities & Exchange Commission for additional discussion of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. I would like to mention that all financial numbers are prepared, unless noted, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We believe that certain non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors because it may enhance their understanding of the results and trends in our business. We also use certain non-GAAP financial information internally to evaluate and manage our operations. As a note, the non-GAAP financial information we provide, may differ from that provided by other companies and should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Now, I will turn the call over to Dave French.
