Brian Modoff – Deutsche Bank
Hi, guys. First question, on the four patents that have been accepted for reexamination, these are the four patents that Broadcom has filed after their original six patents at a later date that are being rejected and sent back, correct?
Kanwar Chadha
That is correct.
Brian Modoff – Deutsche Bank
And so, when they’re sent back for review, what is you mentioned their reexamining the applicability of these patents or the fact that these are – whether these patentable ideas?
Kanwar Chadha
This is Kanwar. Yes. Typically, that means there are significant questions about the validity of those patents and installed number of patents including prior art (ph 00:19:23).
Brian Modoff – Deutsche Bank
Okay. And the prior art may be – could some of that prior art be possessed by SiRF?
Kanwar Chadha
Clearly that would be one of the factors.

Our next question comes from Adam Benjamin with Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Adam Benjamin – Jefferies & Company
Thanks. Dado, you’ve come in and kind of stabilize the company here, cut some OpEx. I’m just wondering if you can give us a sense as to where you stand in your process of trying to turn this company around, what inning we are in, and what you see going forward as a major challenges to kind of bringing this company back to growth and profitability?
Diosdado Banatao
Good question. As we mentioned, I think in the previous call, we finished our strategic planning process resulting in a roadmap that we consider have significant leapfrog characteristics to them based on technology analysis and competitive analysis, of course. So, given that, clearly, the initial things that we, myself and the staff here, is to properly align the organization getting all our best people in technology and systems design to make sure that they are focused on those kinds of products.
Now, on the last point you made there about difficulties, well, clearly, we are all familiar with the macroeconomic situation today and I do not think that we are immune to that so, we are obviously keeping in close touch with all our customers and to make sure that, as I said earlier, we are really focusing on not only execution but execution at the customers' side supporting them so that their deliveries are not interrupted.
