NOTE - EXPECTED TAX RATE
1) An effective tax rate of 11% to 13% is expected for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2006, with an effective tax rate of 4% to 6% expected for
fiscal year 2006. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 is expected to be
20% to 25%. Virtually all of the Company's tax provision for fiscal year 2006
and expected tax provision for fiscal year 2007 relates to taxes in foreign
jurisdictions. Working in foreign jurisdictions with nontaxable or deemed profit
tax systems contribute to the effective tax rate being significantly less than
the United States statutory rate.
