Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 20, 2009, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for our fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. The full text of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.

In a conference call discussing the press release, management disclosed certain information which may be considered important to certain shareholders.

For fiscal 2010, we estimate depreciation and amortization expense to be $3 million. Capital expenditures for the year are targeted at approximately $2 million. We plan to provide for income taxes at an effective income tax rate of 38%. In addition, we're forecasting sales for 2010 to increase both domestically and internationally with similar percentage increases for both over fiscal 2009.

A conference call discussing the press release was recorded and is available for replay through Thursday, August 27, 2009. To access the replay, please call (888) 286-8010 and enter passcode 83268891. The recorded web cast will also be available at "www.quixotecorp.com".

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
