Note 3. Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
The Company’s Asian subsidiary reports its financial position and results of operations in the reporting currency of the Company.
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s European subsidiaries are determined using Euros as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the prevailing average spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the translation to U.S. dollars at differing exchange rates are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from transactions that are denominated in currencies other than Euros are included in earnings as a component of other income. The Company had a translation loss of $3,346,325 recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded on the balance sheet a deferred translation loss of $172,963, resulting in a translation loss of $3,519,288 recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2008.
Note 4. Inventories
Inventories have been valued at the lower of average cost or market on a first in first out basis. The components of inventory consist of:
| | December 31, | | | September 30, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2008 | |
Component parts | | $ | 4,410,053 | | | $ | 4,561,140 | |

| | $ | 12,460,945 | | | $ | 12,236,166 | |
Note 5. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects, in the periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the dilution which would occur upon the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted | | | 10,035,088 | | | | 10,137,970 | |
Options to purchase 1,767,744 and 882,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.05 to $8.75 and $3.38 to $8.75 were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
Note 6. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of two components: translation gains and losses and FAS 133 mark to market gains and losses on the Company’s open foreign exchange contracts. As of December 31, 2008, appearing in the equity section under “ Accumulated other comprehensive loss” was a loss of $3,481,099, which consisted of a deferred translation loss of $3,519,288 and a deferred gain of $38,189 due to the mark to market differences between the value of the Company’s open forward exchange contracts at the contract rates versus the same contracts valued at the period ending forward rate.
The table below details the gains and losses that make up the accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2008:
Accumulated other comprehensive loss | | Balance as of | | | Oct 08 to Dec 08 | | | Balance as of | |
Fiscal 2009 activity | | Sept 30, 2008 | | | gains (losses) | | | Dec 31, 2008 | |

| | $ | (3,362,870 | ) | | $ | (118,229 | ) | | $ | (3,481,099 | ) |
Note 7. Revenue recognition
The Company sells its products through a sales channel which consist of retailers, PC manufacturers and distributors. The majority of the Company’s customers are granted lines of credit. The product is shipped on account with the majority of customers primarily given 30 to 60 day payment terms. Those customers deemed as large credit risks either pay in advance or issue the Company a letter of credit.
The Company requires the customer to submit a purchase order to the Company. The price of the product and payment terms are fixed per the terms of the purchase order. Upon shipment of the order to the customer, the title to the goods is passed to the customer. The customer is legally obligated to pay for the order within the payment terms stated on the customer’s purchase order. The obligation to insure the boards and the cost of any pilferage while in the customer’s possession is the responsibility of the customer. The Company sells analog, hybrid video recorders or digital computer boards that are stocked on the shelves of retailers and are subject to the normal consumer traffic that retail stores attract. Aside from normal store promotions such as advertisements in the store’s circular, the Company has no further obligation to assist in the resale of the products.
HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The Company offers some of its customers a right of return. The Company’s accounting complies with SFAS 48 Revenue Recognition when right of return exists, as typically at the end of every quarter the Company, based on historical data, evaluates its sales reserve level based on the previous six months sales. Due to seasonal nature of the business coupled with the changing economic environment, management exercises some judgment with regard to the historical data to arrive at the reserve.
The Company offers mail-in rebates on certain products at certain times as determined by the Company. The rebates are recorded as a reduction to sales. The Company also participates in limited cooperative advertising programs with retailers and distributors and accounts for these in accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”.
Note 8. Product segment and geographic information
The Company operates in one business segment, which is the development, marketing and manufacturing of analog and digital TV tuner products for the personal computer market. The products are similar in function and share commonality of component parts and manufacturing processes. The Company’s products are either sold, or can be sold, by the same retailers and distributors in the Company’s marketing channel. The Company also sells product directly to PC manufacturers. The Company evaluates its product lines under the functional categories of analog TV tuners, digital TV tuners and other non-TV tuner products.
The Company’s products fall under three product categories:
| · | Digital TV tuners, and combination analog and digital TV tuners |
| · | Other non-TV tuner products |
The Company’s analog TV tuner products are TV tuner modules which can be added to a PC and enable a PC user, among other things, to watch and record analog cable TV in a resizable window on a PC.
The Company’s digital TV and combination analog and digital tuner products are TV tuner modules which enable a PC user, among other things, to watch and record analog cable TV and digital TV in a resizable window on a PC.
The Company’s other non-TV tuner products enable a PC user, among other things, to video conference, watch and listen to PC based videos, music and pictures on a TV set through a home network, and record TV shows on a PC for playback on portable video players.
Sales by functional category are as follows:

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) on October 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a methodology for measuring fair value, and expands the required disclosure for fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which amends SFAS No. 157 by delaying its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2008 the Company had forward contracts whose fair value at quarter end was determined via inputs that included quoted prices for similar foreign exchange contracts in active markets and were thus considered to be Level 2 inputs under the SFAS 157 hierarchy (see Note 6). Effective October 1, 2009, SFAS No. 157 will also apply to all other fair value measurements for the Company. The Company is evaluating the effect the implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have on its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on its consolidated financial statements.
HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 11. Acquisition of PCTV assets from Avid Technology, Inc.
Effective December 24, 2008, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2008, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) (together with the Amendment, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), PCTV Systems, Sarl, a Luxembourg company (“Buyer”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired certain assets and properties (the “Acquired Assets”) of Avid Technology, Inc. (“Avid”), a Delaware corporation, Pinnacle Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Pinnacle”), Avid Technology GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, Avid Development GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, and Avid Technology International BV (collectively, the “Sellers”). The Acquired Assets were used by the Sellers in the business of, among other things, the development, manufacture and sale of personal devices containing a television tuner for receiving over-the-air, satellite and/or cable television signals that are used in conjunction with personal computers for personal television viewing. The potential increase in the Company’s customer base, the potential absorption of the PCTV operations into the existing Hauppauge infrastructure with minimal incremental costs plus the acquisition of the seller’s technology, reference designs and product line were among the attributes that were considered in the Company’s decision to complete the acquisition.
The purchase price consisted of $2,238,000 payable in cash; $2,500,000 payable pursuant to Promissory Note, dated December 24, 2008, made payable by the Buyer to Avid (the “Note”) and the assumption of certain liabilities. The principal amount due pursuant to the Note is payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $208,333. The first such payment was due and payable on January 24, 2009. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Note is payable at a rate equal to (i) from December 24, 2008 until the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), five percent (5%), (ii) from and after the Maturity Date, or during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), at seven percent (7%). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Buyer and its affiliates are prohibited from (i) declaring or paying any cash dividend, or making a distribution on, repurchasing, or redeeming, any class of stock or other equity or ownership interest in the Buyer or its affiliates, (ii) selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of any assets or property of the Buyer or any of its affiliates, or attempting to or contracting to do so, other than (a) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, (b) the granting of non-exclusive licenses of intellectual property in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and (c) the sale, lease, transfer or disposition of any assets or property (other than the Acquired Assets) with a value not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, or (iii) dissolving or liquidating, or merging or consolidating with any other entity, or acquiring all or substantially all of the stock or assets of any other entity.

Because the acquisition was completed on December 24, 2008, there are no results from the operations of the acquisition included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 operating results. The Company is in the process of obtaining a purchase price allocation from an independent third party. On the Company’s December 31, 2008 balance sheet the acquisition was recorded by allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired, including intangible assets such as customer lists, technology and reference designs, based on an estimate provided by the Company’s management. The Company expects the independent allocation to be completed during the Company’s second fiscal quarter.
The following unaudtited pro forma results assume the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2007. The pro forma results do not purport to represent what our results of operations actually would have been if the transactions set forth above had occurred on the date indicated or what our results of operations will be in future periods. The financial results for the periods prior to the acquisition were based on internal financial statements as provided by the sellers.

Net sales to customers in The Americas were 42% and 50% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net sales to customers in Europe were 54% and 48% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net sales to customers in Asia were 4% and 2% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We experienced a decrease in unit sales of about 52% while the dynamics of new production and changes in sales mix lowered the average sales price by about 4%.
Factors driving the decline in sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were the effects of a weakened economy which curtailed consumer spending, the financial problems leadng up to the liquidation of Circuit City, the weakening of the Euro and the shift in emphasis by the PC manufacturers to lower cost PCs which do not include TV tuners.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased $5,542,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $ 713,673 from the prior year’s fiscal first quarter. Sales and marketing expense decreased $490,562. The decrease in the Euro accounted for $186,650 of the decrease. The average Euro rate for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 was $1.3167 to 1 Euro compared to $1.4493 to 1 Euro for the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Excluding the decrease due to the change in exchange rate sales and marketing expenses decreased $303,912. Lower sales resulted in expenses related to sales, such as commissions and marketing development and advertising expense to decrease by $409,927. Lower expenses of our European sales offices contributed an expense reduction of $66,683. Offsetting these increases was in increase of $ 170,576 in sales and marketing personnel related expenses.
The decrease in general and administrative expense of 198,675 was primarily due lower professional fees primarily for legal fees of $92,854 and a decrease in bad debt expense of $100,000 related to the February 2008 liquidation of CompUSA.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased $71,342. Lower compensation due to the reduction of personnel and lower project expenses were responsible for the decrease.
Tax provision
Our tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:
| | Three months ended December 31, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
| | | | | | |
Federal income tax expense | | $ | - | | | $ | 100,000 | |
Tax expense on international operations | | | 27,507 | | | | 78,332 | |
State taxes | | | 10,000 | | | | 12,000 | |
Tax provision | | $ | 37,507 | | | $ | 190,332 | |
We recorded a net loss of $1,772,313, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.18 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,035,088 compared to a net income of $2,462,988 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, which resulted in basic and diluted net income per share of $0.25 and $0.24, respectively, on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,843,799 and 10,137,970, respectively.
Options to purchase 1,767,744 and 882,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.05 to $8.75 and $3.38 to $8.75 were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
Seasonality
As our sales are primarily to the consumer market, we have experienced certain seasonal revenue trends. Our peak sales quarter due to holiday season sales of computer equipment is our first fiscal quarter (October to December), followed by our second fiscal quarter (January to March). In addition, our international sales, mostly in the European market, were 52%, 44% and 54% of sales for the years ended September 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Part of our third and fourth quarters (April through June and July to September) can be potentially impacted by the reduction of activity experienced in Europe during the summer holiday period.
To offset the above cycles, we target a wide range of customer types in order to moderate the seasonal nature of our retail sales.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our cash, working capital and stockholders’ equity position as of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 is set forth below:
| | December 31, 2008 | | | September 30, 2008 | |
Cash | | $ | 11,372,560 | | | $ | 14,191,721 | |
Working Capital | | | 10,189,573 | | | | 17,229,410 | |
Stockholders’ Equity | | | 17,241,587 | | | | 18,988,536 | |
We had cash and cash equivalents as of December 31,2008 of $11,372,560, a decrease of $2,819,161 from September 30, 2008.
The decrease in cash was due to :
Sources of cash: | | | |
Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses | | $ | 3,767,089 | |
Decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets | | | 109,118 | |
Proceeds from employee stock purchases | | | 11,000 | |
Less cash used for: | | | | |
PCTV acquisition-net of note payable | | | (2,273,000 | ) |
Net loss adjusted for non cash items | | | (1,580,898 | ) |
Effect of exchange rates on cash | | | (118,229 | ) |
Increase in accounts receivables | | | (2,502,401 | ) |
Increase in inventory | | | (224,779 | ) |
Capital equipment purchases | | | (7,061 | ) |
Net cash decrease | | $ | (2,819,161 | ) |
Net cash of $431,871 used in operating activities was due to the net loss for the quarter adjusted for non cash items of $1,580,898 and increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $2,502,401 and $224,779, respectively, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,767,089 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $109,118. The increase in accounts receivable was due to an increase in sales of approximately 10% between the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2008 and the first fiscal quarter of 2009.
Cash of $2,280,061 was used to in investment activities. Of this amount, $2,273,000 was used for the acquisition of the PCTV assets and $7,061 was used to purchase fixed assets. The $2,273,000 used for the PCTV acquisition consisted of $2,238,000 used against the $5,000,000 purchase price and $35,000 disbursed in payment of direct expenses of the acquisition. We also incurred a Note Payable to Avid Technology, Inc. of $2,500,000 payable with interest over a twelve month period starting January 24, 2009 and ending December 24, 2009. The note bears interest at a 5% annual rate.
Cash of $11,000 was provided from purchases of stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.
Line of Credit
On December 12, 2008, Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc. (“HCW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, executed a Fourth Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Fourth Amendment modified the terms and conditions of that certain Promissory Note dated December 1, 2005, executed by HCW and made payable to the order of the Bank (the “Note”), as amended by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated March 31, 2006, as further amended by a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated February 28, 2007 and as further amended by a Third Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated March 31, 2008. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, reduces the amount HCW is authorized to borrow from the Bank from a principal amount of up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to a principal amount of up to Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), based upon borrowings made under the Fourth Amendment which may be made from time to time by HCW (each, a “Loan”). The Fourth Amendment matures on March 31, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”) and principal payments are due on the Maturity Date, and thereafter on demand. Until the Maturity Date, Loans made under the Amendment bear interest annually at HCW’s option of (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) (each, a “Eurodollar Loan”) or (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) minus one percent (1.0%) (each, a “Prime Loan”). Interest is payable with respect to each Eurodollar Loan at the end of one month after the date of such Loan (the “Interest Period”), provided that, upon the expiration of the first Interest Period and each Interest Period thereafter, each Eurodollar Loan will be automatically continued with an Interest Period of the same duration, unless HCW notifies the Bank that it intends to convert a Eurodollar Loan to a Prime Loan or if the Bank is prohibited from making Eurodollar Loans, and with respect to each Prime Loan the last day of each calendar month during the term of the Fourth Amendment and on the date on which a Prime Loan is converted to a Eurodollar Loan, until such Loan(s) shall be due and payable. Interest due after the Maturity Date shall be payable at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum over the Prime Rate.
In connection with the Fourth Amendment, we agreed that all of the terms and conditions of (i) our Guaranty as entered into with the Bank, dated as of December 1, 2005, and (ii) the Pledge Agreement by and among us, the Bank and HCW, dated as of December 1, 2005 (pursuant to which, among other things, we granted to the Bank a first priority right of pledge on approximately two-thirds of the outstanding capital shares of Hauppauge Digital Europe Sarl), each as amended, restated, supplemented or modified, from time to time and as entered into in connection with the Note, shall remain in full force and effect and apply to the terms and conditions of the Amendment.
Further, on December 12, 2008, in connection with the Fourth Amendment, HCW entered into a Pledge Security Agreement with the Bank (the “Pledge Security Agreement”), whereby HCW grants the Bank a security interest in its certificate of deposit account held with the Bank. The aggregate value of the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Security Agreement) held pursuant to the Pledge Security Agreement shall not be less than Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) at any given time.
There were no borrowings outstanding and no letters of credit outstanding as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our cash requirements for the next twelve months will include the cash required to pay off the note to Avid Technology, Inc related to the purchase the PCTV product line and the cash needed to fund the acquisition’s working capital needs. With the proper execution of our business and operational integration plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and our internally generated cash flow will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs for the next twelve months. Failure to meet the operating and integration plan could require the need for additional sources of capital. In light of the current economic and credit conditions there can be no assurances that we will be able to find external sources of financing to fund our additional working capital needs.

Effective December 24, 2008, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 25, 2008, we acquired certain assets and properties of Avid Technology, Inc., Pinnacle Systems, Inc., Avid Technology GmbH, Avid Development GmbH, and Avid Technology International BV. The purchase price consisted of $2,238,000 payable in cash and $2,500,000 payable pursuant to Promissory Note made payable by us to Avid. The principal amount due pursuant to the Note is payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $208,333. The first payment is due and payable on January 24, 2009. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Note is payable at a rate equal to (i) from December 24, 2008 until the Maturity Date , five percent (5%), (ii) from and after the Maturity Date, or during the continuance of an Event of Default , at seven percent (7%). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, we and our affiliates are prohibited from (i) declaring or paying any cash dividend, or making a distribution on, repurchasing, or redeeming, any class of stock or other equity or ownership interest in the Buyer or its affiliates, (ii) selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of any assets or property of the Buyer or any of its affiliates, or attempting to or contracting to do so, other than (a) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, (b) the granting of non-exclusive licenses of intellectual property in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and (c) the sale, lease, transfer or disposition of any assets or property (other than the Acquired Assets) with a value not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, or (iii) dissolving or liquidating, or merging or consolidating with any other entity, or acquiring all or substantially all of the stock or assets of any other entity.
Inflation
While inflation has not had a material effect on our operations in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to offset the effects of inflation on the costs of our products or services through price increases to our customers without experiencing a reduction in the demand for our products; or that inflation will not have an overall effect on the computer equipment market that would have a material affect on us.
Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks
For each of the three fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, at least 40% of our sales were generated by our European subsidiary and were invoiced and collected in local currency, which was primarily the Euro. On the supply side, since we predominantly deal with North American and Asian suppliers and contract manufacturers, approximately 90% of our inventory required to support our European sales are purchased and paid in U.S. Dollars.
The combination of sales billed in Euros supported by inventory purchased in U.S. Dollars results in an absence of a natural local currency hedge. Consequently, our financial results are subject to market risks resulting from the fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rates.
We attempt to reduce these risks by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts with financial institutions. The purpose of these forward contracts is to hedge the foreign currency market exposures underlying the U.S. Dollar denominated inventory purchases required to support our European sales.
Item 4T. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Special note regarding forward looking statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipated,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” and “continue,” and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences (including, but not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008), many of which are beyond our control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise. All cautionary statements made in this Quarterly Report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear.
