Business Outlook

"We continue to see signs of improving overall market strength and
expect our network specialist approach will enable us to continue to
grow faster than the market in 2006," said Smith. "In addition, as a
result of relentless execution across the Company, including our
ongoing efforts to reduce product and manufacturing-related costs, we
expect to demonstrate gross margin improvement over the course of the
year," said Smith. "Provided we execute on plan, we believe we are
well positioned to achieve profitability on an as-adjusted basis
during a quarter prior to the end of fiscal 2006."
"We expect our fiscal first quarter revenue will be flat to up
slightly from our fiscal fourth quarter revenue, and we expect to see
sequential gross margin improvement in our fiscal first quarter,"
concluded Smith.
