The slowdown in end market activity is prolonging the inventory correction, but we believe that moderate sequential revenue growth will resume in the second half.

In fiscal 2007, we anticipate gross capital expenditures of approximately $300 million. Planned expenditures primarily relate to new store construction and land purchases associated with future year store openings. Compared with the roughly $200 million of spending in fiscal 2006, the fiscal 2007 capital spending estimate primarily reflects a higher level of real estate purchases for store development in future years, as well as the timing of construction activities.

At present, order levels clearly reflect lower carrier capital spending and the resulting desire of our customers to reduce inventories sharply.

Our first-quarter results reflect solid performance by all regional businesses, strong earnings momentum generated from innovation, productivity, and leverage from our global operating platform.

We only expect a meaningful rebound in capital spending following a period of industry rationalization and an improved economic environment. Given the uncertainty as to the extent and timing of these events we are not providing specific financial guidance for the next quarter of full year 2001.
