As was discussed in our preannouncement, we were negatively impacted by the economy and delays in closing larger transactions at the very end of the quarter, said Mark Woodward, CEO and President. We have taken the actions required to keep our costs in line and improve sales execution. Our financial condition remains very strong and we are ready to capitalize on any improvement in the economy.
