Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10−K for the year ended December 31, 2006 in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The principal reason for the delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company believes will be resolved on or prior to March 29, 2007, is that the Company requires additional time to complete its financial statement disclosures and its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”). The Company was required to comply for the first time with SOX 404 as of December 31, 2006.

If the answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [x] No [ ]

(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 [x] No [ ]

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.

Although subject to change as the Company finalizes its financial results, the Company anticipates that its operating results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 will be substantially similar to the operating results contained in the press release dated February 12, 2007 and furnished as an exhibit to the current report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2007.
