Tegal declares going concern qualification

Plasma etch and deposition system maker Tegal Corp of Petaluma, CA, USA says that its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year to end-March 2009, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 26 June, contained a going concern qualification from its independent registered public accounting firm.

The announcement has been made in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(b)(1)(B), which requires separate disclosure of a recent audit opinion that contains a going concern qualification. However, it does not represent any change or amendment to the firm's 2009 financial statements or to its annual report on Form 10-K.

On 26 June, Tegal reported fiscal 2009 revenue down 60% year-on-year to $13.1m, including fourth-quarter revenue down 74% year-on-year and 58% quarter-to-quarter to just $1.9m. Compared to net income of $18.1m in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009 net loss was $7.9m, including $3.2m for Q4. During the quarter, systems order backlog fell from $2.8m to $1.5m.
