James Boyd      408    735-9110
(Name)      (Area Code)    (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).     x  Yes    ¨  No

 

 

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    x  Yes    ¨  No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Net revenues for the second quarter were $58.1 million compared with $50.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 and with $83.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. Product revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $51.8 million, compared with $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 and with $71.1 million in the second quarter of 2008. Revenues from technology licensing for the second quarter were $6.3 million, compared with $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 and with $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2009 was $7.5 million compared with a loss from operations of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 and with a loss from operations of $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2008. Loss from operations for the first half of 2009 was $13.8 million.

SST is in the process of completing an evaluation of an impairment charge during the second quarter of 2009 related to its investment in GSMC. Based upon analysis done to date, SST believes it will incur an impairment charge of approximately $0.5 million. Offsetting the impairment charge, is a decrease in SST’s estimated tax expense for the second quarter of 2009 of $2.2 million from the expense previously reported in our press release of July 29, 2009. Therefore, SST expects a preliminary net loss for the second quarter of 2009 of $6.4 million, or $0.07 per share, based on approximately 95.8 million diluted shares. In the first quarter of 2009, SST recorded a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.10 per share, based on approximately 95.7 million diluted shares. For the second quarter of 2008, SST reported a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.09 per share based on approximately 101.8 million diluted shares.

After taking into account the additional charges and offsetting decrease in income tax expense, SST expects a preliminary net loss for the first half of 2009 of $15.7 million, or $0.16 per share, based on approximately 95.8 million diluted shares.

The decrease of $2.2 million to SST’s estimated tax expense for the second quarter of 2009 represents $2.1 million to correct an error in the first quarter of 2009 and $0.1 million to correct errors from prior periods. As a result of the adjustment relating to income tax expense, management has concluded that SST possesses a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to income taxes.
