Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE A - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management of Frequency Electronics, Inc. (“the Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. The April 30, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted Earnings Per Share are as follows:

	Three months ended July 31,
	2007		2006
Basic EPS Shares outstanding
(weighted average)		8,695,027		8,576,705
Effect of Dilutive Securities		88,649		143,229
Diluted EPS Shares outstanding		8,783,676		8,719,934

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes those options with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. The inclusion of such options in the computation of earnings per share would have been antidilutive. The number of excluded options for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, were 949,425 and 571,550, respectively.

NOTE C - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable at July 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007 include costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts accounted for on the percentage of completion basis of approximately $7,533,000 and $6,259,000, respectively. Such amounts represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts that had not been billed at the balance sheet dates. Such amounts are billed pursuant to contract terms.

NOTE D - INVENTORIES

Inventories, which are reported net of reserves of $5,172,000 and $5,028,000 at July 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007, respectively, consist of the following:

	July 31, 2007		April 30, 2007
	(In thousands)
Raw materials and Component parts	$	18,921	$	18,380
Work in progress		13,294		12,821
	$	32,215	$	31,201

NOTE E - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

For the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, total comprehensive income was $2,013,000 and $1,385,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is composed of net income or loss for the period plus the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in the valuation allowance on marketable securities.

NOTE F - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost of $143,000 and $115,000 was recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to May 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

Upon adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company elected to continue to value its share-based payment transactions using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which was previously used by the Company for purposes of preparing the pro forma disclosures under FAS 123. Such value is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. This is the same attribution method that was used by the Company for purposes of its pro forma disclosures under FAS 123.

At July 31, 2007, unrecognized compensation cost for all the Company’s stock-based compensation awards was approximately $1.1 million. The unrecognized compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards at July 31, 2007 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

In accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), which requires that compensation be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation, during the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, stock-based compensation expense included in cost of sales was $81,000 and $53,000, respectively and the amount charged to selling, general and administrative expense was $62,000 in both periods.

The weighted average fair value of each option has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the three months ended July 31, 2007, and each of the years ended April 30, 2007, and 2006: dividend yield of 1.4%, 1.3%, and 1.4%, respectively; expected volatility of 40%, 40% and 59%, respectively; risk free interest rate of 4.8%, 5.0% and 4.1%, respectively, and expected lives of six and one-half years.

The expected life assumption was determined based on the Company’s historical experience. For purposes of both FAS 123 and FAS 123(R), the expected volatility assumption was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield assumption was determined based upon the Company’s past history of dividend payments and its intention to make future dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options.

Employee Stock Option Plans

The Company has various stock option plans for key management employees, including officers and directors who are employees. The plans include Nonqualified Stock Option (“NQSO”) plans, Incentive Stock Option ("ISO”) plans, and Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”). Under these plans, options and awards are granted at the discretion of the Stock Option committee at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Under one NQSO plan the options are exercisable one year after the date of grant. Under the remaining plans the options/awards are exercisable over a four-year period beginning one year after the date of grant. The options/awards expire ten years after the date of grant and are subject to certain restrictions on transferability of the shares obtained on exercise. As of July 31, 2007, eligible employees had been granted awards to purchase 219,000 shares of Company stock under SARs, all of which are outstanding and 42,000 shares of which are exercisable. As of July 31, 2007, eligible employees had been granted options to purchase 1,182,500 shares of Company stock under ISO plans of which approximately 389,000 options are outstanding and approximately 303,000 of which are exercisable. Through July 31, 2007, eligible employees have been granted options to acquire 1,090,000 shares of Company stock under NQSO plans. Of the NQSO options, approximately 650,000 are both outstanding and exercisable (see tables below).

(Unaudited)

The excess of the consideration received over the par value of the common stock or cost of treasury stock issued under both types of option plans has been recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R). Unrecognized compensation charges for nonvested awards relating to the SARs grant is approximately $815,000 which will be recognized during a weighted average period of 3.2 years. Unrecognized compensation charges for nonvested awards relating to the ISO plan is approximately $271,000 which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

Although the Company continues to maintain a stock repurchase program, no stock repurchases will be necessary to process stock exercises during the fiscal year. Shares issued to individuals as a result of stock exercises will be taken from available treasury stock.

Transactions under these stock award plans, including the weighted average exercise prices of the options, are as follows:

	Three months ended July 31, 2007
				Wtd Avg
	Shares			Price
Outstanding at beginning of period		1,265,587		$	11.53

NOTE G - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates under three reportable segments:

(1) FEI-NY - consists principally of precision time and frequency control products used in three principal markets- communication satellites (both commercial and U.S. Government-funded); terrestrial cellular telephone or other ground-based telecommunication stations and other components and systems for the U.S. military.

(2) Gillam-FEI - the Company’s Belgian subsidiary primarily sells wireline synchronization and network monitoring systems.

(3) FEI-Zyfer - the products of the Company’s subsidiary incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies into systems and subsystems for secure communications, both government and commercial, and other locator applications.

The FEI-NY segment also includes the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FEI-Asia, which functions primarily as a manufacturing facility for the FEI-NY segment.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer measures segment performance based on total revenues and profits generated by each geographic center rather than on the specific types of customers or end-users or types of markets served.

The table below presents information about reported segments with reconciliation of segment amounts to consolidated amounts as reported in the statement of operations or the balance sheet for each of the periods (in thousands):

NOTE H - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” (“FIN 48”) This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for tax positions taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2008. The Company will comply with the provisions of FIN 48 but the impact of such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” (“FAS 157”) This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but simplifies and codifies related guidance. The Company will comply with the provisions of FAS 157 when it becomes effective in fiscal year 2009. Such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements since the Company utilizes fair value measures wherever required by current GAAP.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) in September 2006. SAB 108 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the process of quantifying the materiality of financial misstatements. SAB 108 requires both the balance sheet (iron curtain) and income statement (rollover) approaches be used when quantifying the materiality of misstatement amounts. In addition, SAB 108 contains guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach and provides transition guidance for correcting errors existing in prior years. SAB 108 is now effective for the Company and, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from application of this bulletin.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of SFAS No. 115” (“FAS 159”). The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FAS 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

Item 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

The statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q regarding future earnings and operations and other statements relating to the future constitute "forward-looking" statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, continued acceptance of the Company's products in the marketplace, competitive factors, new products and technological changes, product prices and raw material costs, dependence upon third-party vendors, competitive developments, changes in manufacturing and transportation costs, changes in contractual terms, the availability of capital, and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s April 30, 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders. The Company believes its most critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue and costs on production contracts and the valuation of inventory. Each of these areas requires the Company to make use of reasoned estimates including estimating the cost to complete a contract, the realizable value of its inventory or the market value of its products. Changes in estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues under larger, long-term contracts, which generally require billings based on achievement of milestones rather than delivery of product, are reported in operating results using the percentage of completion method. On fixed-price contracts, which are typical for commercial and U.S. Government satellite programs and other long-term U.S. Government projects, and which require initial design and development of the product, revenue is recognized on the cost-to-cost method. Under this method, revenue is recorded based upon the ratio that incurred costs bear to total estimated contract costs with related cost of sales recorded as the costs are incurred. Each month management reviews estimated contract costs. The effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in revenues in the period in which the change is known. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.

On production-type contracts, revenue is recorded as units are delivered with the related cost of sales recognized on each shipment based upon a percentage of estimated final contract costs. Changes in job performance may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which revisions are determined to be required. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.

For contracts in the Company’s Gillam-FEI and FEI-Zyfer segments, smaller contracts or orders in the FEI-NY segment and sales of products and services to customers are reported in operating results based upon shipment of the product or performance of the services pursuant to contractual terms. When payment is contingent upon customer acceptance of the installed system, revenue is deferred until such acceptance is received and installation completed.

Costs and Expenses

Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other direct costs related to contract performance. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Inventory

In accordance with industry practice, inventoried costs contain amounts relating to contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of which will not be realized within one year. Inventory reserves are established for slow-moving and obsolete items and are based upon management’s experience and expectations for future business. Any changes in reserves arising from revised expectations are reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made. 

Stock-based Compensation

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost of $143,000 and $115,000, respectively, was recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, and includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to May 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R).

	$	15.6		$	14.3		$	1.3		9	%

The growth in revenues for the three month period ended July 31, 2007, was led by a nearly 60% increase in revenues from satellite payload programs recorded in the FEI-NY segment. These gains were partially offset by weaker revenues from telecommunication customers which impacted revenues in each of the Company’s operating segments. Revenues from non-space U.S. Government programs also increased over fiscal year 2007, which benefited both the FEI-NY and FEI-Zyfer segments. During fiscal year 2008, the Company expects to realize continued growth in revenues from both U.S. Government and commercial satellite programs. Telecommunication infrastructure revenues and sales to non-space U.S. Government programs are also expected to increase over the balance of the fiscal year.

Gross margin

	$	4,471		$	4,853			($382	)	(8	%)
GM Rate		28.7	%		33.9	%

The 8% decrease in gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2007, is due to the higher level of engineering costs on certain satellite payload programs that the Company began to experience in fiscal year 2007. The current quarter’s gross margin rate of 28.7% reflects a sequential improvement from the 20% rate recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. As the level of engineering effort decreases during fiscal year 2008, the Company anticipates that its gross margin rate will improve. As revenues increase, the Company expects the gross margin rate to approach and exceed its target of 40%.

Also, for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, gross margin was reduced by $81,000 and $53,000, respectively, due to the inclusion in cost of sales of the charge for stock compensation expense as required by Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Selling and administrative expenses

Three months ended July 31,
2007		2006		Change
$	3,086	$	2,782	$	304	11	%

For the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, selling and administrative expenses were 19.8% and 19.4%, respectively, of consolidated revenues which achieved the Company’s target for such expenses. The increases in expenses in the fiscal year 2008 period were primarily related to marketing expenses, additional property rent expense and compensation expense related to incentive compensation, normal salary increases and additional personnel.

Included in selling and administrative expenses in each of the three month periods ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, is $62,000 related to stock compensation expense as described above and in the footnotes to the financial statements.

With fiscal year 2008 revenues at current or increasing levels, the Company expects selling and administrative expenses to be incurred at 20% or less of revenues.

Research and development expense

Three months ended July 31,
2007		2006		Change
$	2,177	$	1,380	$	797	58	%

Research and development expenditures represent investments that keep the Company’s products at the leading edge of time and frequency technology and enhance competitiveness for future sales. The exceptional level of engineering spending and development work on the Company’s satellite payload products, which began in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, continued into fiscal year 2008. Research and development spending for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, was 14% of revenues compared to 10% of revenues for the same period of fiscal year 2007. The Company targets research and development spending at approximately 10% of sales, but the rate of spending can increase or decrease from quarter to quarter as new projects are identified and others are concluded. The Company will continue to devote significant resources to develop new products, enhance existing products and implement efficient manufacturing processes. Where possible, the Company attempts to obtain development contracts from its customers. For programs without such funding, internally generated cash and cash reserves are adequate to fund these development efforts.

Operating (Loss) Profit

Three months ended July 31,
2007			2006		Change
	($792	)	$	691		($1,483	)	NM

The continuing level of engineering effort related to satellite payload programs and increased research and development resulted in an operating loss for the three months ended July 31, 2007, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2007. Sequentially, the operating loss was reduced from that realized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 by $1.9 million on a comparable level of sales. The Company anticipates that as engineering and development costs moderate and as sales increase from current levels, that it will generate an operating profit for the full fiscal year 2008.

During the three months ended July 31, 2007, the Company reduced its investment in Morion, Inc. from 36.6% to 8% by selling shares to a Russian government majority-owned bank. The Company received proceeds of approximately $5.8 million and realized a book gain of approximately $3.0 million. Such gain is included in investment income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

As a result of the reduced investment in Morion, the Company no longer records its share of Morion’s earnings on the equity method, as it did in fiscal year 2007. The equity loss in the fiscal year 2008 period represents its share of the quarterly loss recorded by Elcom Technologies in which the Company acquired a 25% interest during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.

The increase in interest expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2007 resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings under the Company’s line of credit during the fiscal year 2008 period compared to the three month period ended July 31, 2006.

Under the provisions of sale and leaseback accounting, a portion of the capital gain realized on a fiscal year 2005 real estate transaction is deferred and recognized in income over the initial lease term. Under the caption “Other income, net” the Company recognized deferred gain of $88,000 for each of the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. In the fiscal year 2008 period, such income was offset by certain nonrecurring expenses at the FEI-NY and Gillam-FEI segments, including certain business interruption costs and foreign currency exchange losses. Other insignificant income and expense items are also recorded under this caption.

Net income

Three months ended July 31,
2007		2006		Change
$	1,380	$	898	$	482	54	%

Net income for the three months ended July 31, 2007, was positively impacted by the investment gain recorded on the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in Morion which offset the quarter’s operating loss. The Company expects to realize improved gross and operating margins in the subsequent quarters of fiscal year 2008 and anticipates that it will report a profit for the full year.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to taxation in several countries as well as the states of New York and California. The statutory federal rates vary from 34% in the United States to 35% in Europe. The effective rate is impacted by the income or loss of certain of the Company’s European and Asian subsidiaries which are currently not taxed. In addition, the Company utilizes the availability of research and development tax credits in the United States to lower its tax rate. As of April 30, 2007, the Company’s European subsidiaries had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.3 million and the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $700,000, which will offset future taxable income. During fiscal year 2008, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be higher than in prior years as a result of the gain recognized on the Morion transaction. The Company’s tax basis in its Morion investment was less than its book basis resulting in greater taxable income than that recorded for financial reporting purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s balance sheet continues to reflect a strong working capital position of $59 million at July 31, 2007, which is comparable to working capital at April 30, 2007. Included in working capital at July 31, 2007 is $17.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities which are offset by $6.5 million in borrowings under its bank line of credit. The Company’s current ratio at July 31, 2007 is 5.5 to 1.

For the three months ended July 31, 2007, the Company used $4.4 million in cash from operating activities compared to $872,000 used by operations in the comparable fiscal year 2007 period. The primary uses of cash in the fiscal year 2008 period were due to the growth in unbilled accounts receivable, acquisition of additional parts inventory to support current and anticipated programs and payments against accounts payable. In the three month period ended July 31, 2006, the decrease in operating cash flow was due primarily to increases in the value of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. For the balance of fiscal year 2008, the Company expects to generate positive cash flow from operating activities, particularly as billing milestones are achieved on certain of its large production contracts.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2007, was $4.9 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period of fiscal year 2007. During the fiscal year 2008 period, the Company received net proceeds of $5.6 million from the sale of a portion of its investment in Morion. The principal source of cash in the fiscal year 2007 period was the sale or redemption of certain marketable securities aggregating $3.9 million. During the three months ended July 31, 2007, the Company also acquired capital equipment for approximately $559,000 compared to $396,000 during the same period of the prior year. The Company may continue to acquire or sell marketable securities as dictated by its investment strategies as well as by the cash requirements for its development activities. Capital equipment purchases for all of fiscal year 2008 are expected to aggregate approximately $3.0 million. Internally generated cash is adequate to acquire this level of capital equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2007, was $629,000 compared to $770,000 during the comparable fiscal year 2007 period. Included in both fiscal periods is payment of the Company’s semiannual dividend in the amount of $869,000 and $857,000, respectively. During the three months ended July 31, 2007, the Company borrowed $1.5 million under its line of credit to fund current operations rather than liquidating additional marketable securities. In the same period of the prior fiscal year, the Company borrowed $1.6 million under the line of credit and repaid such borrowing early in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.

The Company has been authorized by its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $5 million worth of shares of its common stock for treasury whenever appropriate opportunities arise but it has neither a formal repurchase plan nor commitments to purchase additional shares in the future. During the quarter ended July 31, 2007, the Company acquired 7,312 shares of its stock under this authorization when it repurchased shares for treasury from certain employees upon their exercise of stock options for a like amount.

The Company will continue to expend resources to develop and improve products for space applications, guidance and targeting systems, wireless networks and wireline communication systems which management believes will result in future growth and continued profitability. During fiscal year 2008, the Company intends to make a substantial investment of capital and technical resources to develop new products to meet the needs of the U.S. Government, commercial space and telecommunications infrastructure marketplaces and to invest in more efficient product designs and manufacturing procedures. Where possible, the Company will secure partial customer funding for such development efforts but is targeting to spend its own funds at a rate of at least 10% of revenues to achieve its development goals. Internally generated cash will be adequate to fund these development efforts.

At July 31, 2007, the Company’s backlog amounted to approximately $43 million compared to $44 million at April 30, 2007. Of this backlog, approximately 80% is realizable in the next twelve months.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and market values of securities. The Company's investments in fixed income and equity securities were approximately $13.8 million and $469,000, respectively, at July 31, 2007. The investments are carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses recorded as adjustments to stockholders' equity. The fair value of investments in marketable securities is generally based on quoted market prices. Typically, the fair market value of investments in fixed interest rate debt securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Based on the Company's overall interest rate exposure at July 31, 2007, a 10% change in market interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of the Company's fixed income securities or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is subject to foreign currency translation risk. The Company does not have any near-term intentions to repatriate invested cash in any of its foreign-based subsidiaries. For this reason, the Company does not intend to initiate any exchange rate hedging strategies which could be used to mitigate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. The effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations will be recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet as a component of other comprehensive income. As of July 31, 2007, the amount related to foreign currency exchange rates is a $3,954,000 unrealized gain.

The results of operations of foreign subsidiaries, when translated into US dollars, will reflect the average rates of exchange for the periods presented. As a result, similar results of operations measured in local currencies can vary significantly upon translation into US dollars if exchange rates fluctuate significantly from one period to the next.
