Reiterating 2011 Financial Outlook

Total revenue targeted to be within the range of $300 – $320 million (includes PAS deferred revenue)

Targeting annualized operating expenses of less than $100 million

Targeting breakeven in 2011 on a full year basis

Reiterate

Our target of generating 10% of total sales in 2011 from new OSS business is subject to the due diligence process and detail terms and condition negotiation on acquisition targets and revenue sharing projects which may result in delay.

Delay in progress
