Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Marvell Semiconductor fiscal first quarter 2009 earnings call. On the call today is, Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell's Chairman and CEO; and Mr. George de Urioste, Marvell's Interim CFO. If you've not obtained a copy of our current press release, it can be found at our company website under the Investor Relations section at www.marvell.com. Additionally, this call is being recorded and will be available for replay from our corporate website. Before we begin, we would like to remind all participants that this call will include forward-looking statements that involve risk factors that could cause Marvell's results to differ materially from management's current expectations. These forward-looking statements may include predictions, estimates, and other commentary regarding sales trend, revenue growth, gross margins, operating and non-operating expenses. Such statements are usually preceded by, but not limited to such words as expect, anticipate, belief, should, may, will or other forward-looking statements. To fully understand the risks that may cause results to differ, please refer to Marvell's fiscal 2008 Form 10-K and subsequent SEC filings. Please be reminded that the company undertakes no obligations to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement. Throughout the call today, we will be make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures which generally exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time charges. Marvell management believes these non-GAAP metrics are useful as they best reflect how the business is internally managed. While Marvell use these non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for or superior to the information provided by GAAP financial measures. With respect to historic information the most directly comparable GAAP information and a reconciliation between the non-GAAP and GAAP figures is provided in our fiscal year Q1, '09 earnings press release which has been furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and is available at Marvell's website at the Investor Relations section at www.marvell.com. I would now like to turn the call over to Dr. Sutardja Sehat.
