Aviza expects that net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 will be at the low end of the original guidance range of $25 million to $32 million. However, Aviza expects that adjusted net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 will be in the range of $1 million to $4 million, a substantial improvement over the original guidance range of $50,000 to an adjusted net loss of $4 million. The improvements were a result of the faster impact of cost reduction measures and favorable currency exchange translation.
Original Guidance Updated Guidance Net Sales: $25 million - $32 million Low end of range Adjusted Net Income: $50,000 - ($4 million) $1 million - $4 million Additionally, the company has decided to engage Needham & Company to explore partnering, financing and business development options.

"Additionally, we've decided to engage Needham & Company to assist us in evaluating our financial and strategic options. We are looking forward to working closely with them as we move through a very difficult and unpredictable economy.
