We have pretty much won the bid, but we still need to reach a final agreement.

We want to optimize the timing for launch of HD-DVD in each market. The majority of [partners] want a large-scale launch, not a gradual launch.

Toshiba is committed to anti-proliferation efforts and will work with U.S. and international authorities, as well as with the Westinghouse team, to ensure that nuclear technologies are only used for peaceful purposes.

We cannot comment on the partners or the progress of negotiations. We are in the process of filing our application to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
