If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
           
þ
    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
       
      (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As reported in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to its several operating businesses, including its Systems Solutions business unit, its Analog and Mixed Signal business unit and its Memory business unit. In connection with these various asset sales, the Company’s headcount has been reduced from 197 full-time employees as of March 31, 2006 to approximately 28 as of the date hereof. Due in part to the significantly reduced staff and, in particular, an insufficiently sized staff of permanent personnel with accounting and finance knowledge and experience, it took the Company an additional amount of time to prepare the financial information and other disclosures required to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2006. These concerns were amplified by the concurrent preparation of, and concurrent audit of the Company’s Form 10-K and auditor review of the Company’s Form 10-Q due to the delayed filing of the Form 10-K (which was filed August 9, 2006). This concurrent preparation and review was caused by the need to resolve certain accounting questions and reclassify certain assets as held for sale as of March 31, 2006, as previously disclosed. While the Company has increased its accounting personnel to address this concern, the Company has staffed these positions largely with temporary personnel for flexibility given the recent changes in the Company’s business. As a result of the foregoing, the Company could not file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.
SEC 1344 (03-05)   Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION
(1)   Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
         
Melvin L. Keating    (408)    855-4900 
(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).
    Yes þ     No o
 
   
 
(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?
    Yes o     No þ
 
   
 
 
    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.
 
    As disclosed in the Company’s previous filings, the Company has sold each of its operating business units and has exited the semiconductor business that has characterized the Company to date. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are necessarily meaningful, and does not believe such comparisons should be relied upon as indications of future performance.
