During the quarter, Numerical announced new products and customer wins for its existing software products. In April, Toshiba licensed Numerical's SiVL(R) verification tool to ensure manufacturability of subwavelength designs. Also, Toppan Chunghwa Electronics, a leading Taiwan-based photomask provider, incorporated Numerical's Virtual Stepper(R) System into its photomask manufacturing process. In addition, Numerical recently announced the introduction of its scalable distributed processing capability, which streamlines subwavelength post-layout data processing, and thereby reduces production costs. Numerical's distributed processing products are already in use at customer sites.

Numerical Technologies, Inc., the world's leading provider of subwavelength lithography-enabling technology, develops and markets proprietary technology, software tools and services that enable the production of subwavelength integrated circuits (ICs) -- ICs with feature sizes that are smaller than the wavelength of light used to create circuit patterns on silicon. Numerical's products and industry alliances form a comprehensive design-to-silicon solution that enables the creation of smaller, faster and more power-efficient ICs using available manufacturing equipment. Numerical's customers include the world's top semiconductor companies, design automation tool vendors, semiconductor equipment suppliers and photomask manufacturers.
