HRL employees remain the backbone of our operation. Among our technical staff, an outstanding 97% hold advanced degrees, with 77% having earned doctorates. Our teams continued their strong record of innovation with 150 invention disclosures.

In 2006, we focused on creating improved organizations, processes, and execution strategies that will enable us to become both more innovative and better able to fulfill our mission. To that effect, we created two new organizations during the year: the Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory and the Program Development Office. The Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory is a new technical laboratory that joins our existing Microelectronics, Sensors and Materials and Information and Systems Sciences Laboratories. The Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory will focus on the application of electromagnetics, physics, RF technologies, and optics to address emerging technology and market opportunities.

The Program Development Office designed and implemented several new processes aimed at identifying and developing innovative new technologies. It will improve HRL's strategic business relationships and proposal development processes and strategic business relationships in order to increase our government and commercial revenues. Our Program Development staff also had considerable success in turning our ever-growing intellectual property portfolio into a source of revenue. We completed several patent licenses in 2006, and we expect significantly expanded licensing activities in 2007.

During 2006, we also emphasized the creation of better internal processes. That effort successfully resulted in AS9100 certification for our spacequalified electronics production processes. Based on this achievement, we now plan to expand AS9100-like controls across many of our other key production and business processes.

The changes we undertook in 2006 are already producing results. We redoubled our efforts to get to know our customers, as well as their current and future critical needs. Our program and staff management is more rigorous and we are kicking up our performance standard from "customer satisfaction" to "customer delight."

During 2006, when LLC Members Boeing and General Motors purchased Raytheon's equity position in HRL, we faced a unique set of challenges. We were successful in transitioning Raytheon from being an LLC Member to being our most valued commercial customer. We look forward to continuing this strong relationship and to growing similarly strong relationships with new commercial customers.

ReVera is a leading provider of next generation metrology used to monitor and control films and critical layers deployed in the semiconductor manufacturing process. For many years, the industry has relied on optical-based technologies to measure thin films and layers in semiconductor devices. Due to the limitations of optical techniques when presented with smaller features and more complex materials, device manufacturers are spending an ever increasing portion of their capital dollars on new metrology technology such as that provided by ReVera. This transition away from optical metrology is increasing as the industry moves through each successive technology node. ReVera is recognized as the supplier of choice of this next generation metrology, having been adopted by the majority of leading edge device manufacturers.

ReVera was established in 2004 as a management-led spin-out from Physical Electronics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Charles Evans and Associates. ReVera drew from the expertise of these companies in laboratory materials characterization and instrumentation, and became the first company to successfully create and commercialize a production-worthy materials metrology solution.
