As to the third quarter, preliminary results confirm that the Company will
be within the range of the outlook it provided on July 24th as to GAAP EPS,
which was $0.13-0.15 per share. The Company also issued an outlook on revenue
at that time of $300-310 million for the quarter; at this time, preliminary
revenue results appear to be approximately $300 million. The strength of the
U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in August and September reduced the
anticipated results of foreign operations as they are converted into dollars.
As to acquisition activity, the Company has announced the pending purchase
of Iteamic Private Limited of Bangalore, India. It is also working on a
business combination in Europe. Both are subject to executing definitive
agreements, among other things. The Company's bank credit agreement requires
at this point that the Company issue shares as consideration for any
acquisition. While the bank group has consented to these business
combinations, the Company is not currently willing to issue the equity given
the state of recent equity market turmoil; hence, both deals remain pending.
An 8-K has been filed with the SEC with respect to these matters, which
the Company understands will be accessible on October 14, 2008.
