Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. [Operator instructions]. And we will go first to Patrick Ho with Stifel Nicolaus.
Patrick Ho
Thanks a lot. In terms of some of the progress you’ve made in Harmony what are your customers saying in terms of the pricing of the product as you forward? Are you still feeling some pressures in terms of concessions or as you go through design wins, some of that pricing pressure abates?
Mario Ruscev
Yeah, again its difficult to have just one answer for Harmony. Again, as I said, Harmony competes in a full wafer contractor. So, we have some very complex designs with many springs, a lot of electronics to do test enhancement, etcetera, etcetera. On this one we obviously have no pricing pressure. There are some designs which are much simpler, which are -- there is more than one person that can afford and when you see more pricing competition are different. But as we say overall, we are not in any dramatic price that woven yet.
Patrick Ho
Okay, great. In terms of the overall business model I know it’s a work in progress and both of you are still relatively new to the company. How long do you think it will take before you give us kind of, like a long-term business model of the company? I’m assuming at the mid $60 million revenue break even rate that you just discussed on this call is not going to be a final one. When do you think you’ll be able to evolve, I guess, a new business model; for the company?
Mario Ruscev
First, there is a few things, there is, like I say, we put the mid 60 breakeven. This is for what I would call the short-term. We will be discussing later under our actions and much longer term, which enables us to get much better. But our real effort for the long-term is to make sure that we do bring the Company into a model which I would call high growth, high profitability. And for a technology company, this means with highly differentiated technology, return to the markets and the needs of our customers. This is really our long-term goal. And once we’ve done that, I don’t like to speak about business models because actually close in Dogma. But certainly, we are looking to have growth and profitability, which will be quite high, and comparable to historic factors.
