Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $3.2 million, or $0.06per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.04 perdiluted share, during the same period last year. The loss for the quarter wasdriven primarily by non-recurring employee separation expenses of $2.1 millionand inventory write downs of $1.3 million.

Non-cash, stock based compensation charges for the first quarter of fiscal2009 were $5.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company added 12 newcontracts to backlog, representing a total value of $58.6 million. Of the 12contracts, 7 came from international customers.

At September 27, 2008, backlog was approximately $644 million, withapproximately $358 million associated with CyberKnife(R) Robotic RadiosurgerySystem contracts and approximately $286 million associated with services andother recurring revenue. Accuray's backlog is composed of signed contractsthat the company believes have a substantially high probability of beingrecognized as revenue in future periods. Of the $644 million in backlog atthe end of the quarter, 70 percent consisted of non-contingent contracts,representing backlog for which contractual contingencies have been satisfied.

Accuray's cash and investment balances at the end of the quarter totaled$162.1 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $27.2 million,short-term investments of $91.5 million, long-term investments of $38.0million and $5.4 million in restricted cash. At the end of the first quarterthe company continued to have zero debt.

Accuray's Audit Committee concluded its independent investigation intoallegations made by a former Accuray employee regarding possible improprietiesin the handling and accounting of certain inventory items. Upon completion ofthe investigation, the Audit Committee determined that although a materialweakness has been identified in the company's internal control over financialreporting with respect to inventory processes, no material prior periodadjustments were identified. It was therefore determined that no financialrestatement was needed for prior quarters or years.

Outlook

The following statement is forward-looking and actual results may differmaterially. Accuray expects revenue for fiscal 2009 to be in the range of$230 million to $250 million.
