Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the results of the second quarter. The balance and strength of our three product platforms continues to give us the ability to meet our growth targets in this challenging economic environment. As we've stated previously, our market opportunities and product platforms compliment each another, and each product platform gives us a solid foundation to grow. In the second quarter, the strongest growth came from our military, industrial and homeland security markets. We continue to believe we are in a strong multi-year growth period, but can still experience uneven quarterly revenue growth in our product platforms as our customers continue to test, qualify and deploy next-generation 40G HSOR and terahertz systems. We expect to continue to see fluctuations in our customers' spending in any given quarter due primarily to slower new product introductions and reduced capital expenditures due to current macro economic conditions. Looking ahead we continue to be cautiously optimistic and are taking a prudently cautious view of guidance for the balance of the year. As a result we are continuing to hold to our revenue growth target of 30% year over year."
