FY08 Annual Guidance We, like many other companies doing business today, find ourselves now in an uncertain business environment. We therefore do not confirm the guidance we gave on December 6, 2007, nor do we give any guidance at this time. To be clear, we are giving no guidance today. We cannot tell you when we will be able to again give guidance. We hope to be able to do so when trends in our business become clearer.
