"It is clear that the investments we have made in the past year and our focus on enhancing our competitive position are now bearing fruit. The second half of 2008 looks even brighter. We recently announced a number of new products and system capabilities that position us very well to increase our market share. These include the IRP-3910, designed to enable cable operators to manage the February 2009 transition from analog to digital broadcast. The IRP has been very well received by the market and we expect to generate revenue from this in the second half of 2008. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the emerging trends in our industry."
