John Kibarian -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, and welcome, everyone. If you have not already seen our earnings press release and management report presentation for the second quarter, please go to the investors section of our website where each has been posted. Although our total revenues were up only slightly, our results this quarter showed the progress toward our objective, to be the provider of choice for end-to-end analytics and manufacturing control to the semiconductor electronics industry. Our results reveal the ongoing evolution from being important to our customers in ramping leading-edge logic notes to be even more valuable for controlling quality, reliability, yield, and operational effectiveness across the lifetime of semiconductor production.

This is leading to a growing customer base. In the past our focus on ramping leading-edge logic, resulted in only a handful of customers driving the majority of our revenues. This caused our business to be tied closely to the investments that go on leading-edge logic. Our business is now driven by analytics.
