Item 8.01.
Other Events
   
 
On Monday March 5, 2007 at an investor conference, in response to a question about the assumptions underlying longer-term earnings margins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, W.G. (Mickey) Holliman, said the company’s assumption had been for flat revenues versus the prior year. After the conference at least one media outlet reported this statement as a revenue projection for 2007. Mr. Holliman’s comment reflected a planning assumption and not a projection for the year. The company does not give full-year revenue or earnings guidance and expects to revise or reiterate its first quarter guidance on March 14, 2007.
