NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FLIR Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for 2006 to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Note 2. Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation program that provides equity incentives for employees, consultants and directors. This program includes incentive and non-statutory stock options and restricted stock unit awards granted under three plans, the FLIR Systems, Inc. 1992 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1992 Plan”), the FLIR Systems, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “1993 Plan”) and the FLIR Systems, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The Company has discontinued issuing option awards out of the 1992 Plan and the 1993 Plan, but previously granted options under those plans remain outstanding until their exercise or expiration.

Stock options granted are either time-based options with vesting schedules ranging from immediate vesting to vesting over three years, or performance-based options with vesting that is contingent upon meeting certain diluted earnings per share growth targets in three independent tranches over a three year period. Stock options generally expire ten years from the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards are time-based and generally vest over a three year period.

Additionally, the Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) which allows employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Stock at 85% of the fair market value at the lower of either the date of enrollment or the purchase date.

Shares issued as a result of stock option exercises, vesting of restricted stock units and ESPP purchases are new shares.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of all stock option awards on the date of grant. Restricted stock unit awards are valued at the fair market value on the date of grant. The Company recognizes the compensation expense for time-based options and restricted stock unit awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. The compensation expense for each tranche of performance-based options is recognized during the year the related performance criteria are met because each tranche is independent of the others and if the performance criteria in a particular year are not met, the related tranche never vests.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $29,966,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

The fair value of the stock-based awards, as determined under the Black-Scholes model, granted in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was estimated with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Stock Option Awards:
Risk-free interest rate	4.6	%	4.9	%	4.6	%	4.7	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%
Expected term	3.6 years		3.5 years		3.6 years		2.6 years

Expected term	6 months		6 months		6 months		6 months
Expected volatility	32.8	%	38.3	%	32.8	%	38.3	%

The Company uses the US Treasury (constant maturity) interest rate on the date of grant as the risk-free interest rate and uses historical volatility as the expected volatility. The Company’s determination of expected term is based on an analysis of historical and expected exercise patterns and vesting schedules of option grants.

There were 69,970 shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007. There were 4,467,126 shares available at June 30, 2007 for future issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Note 3. Net Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive, and from the assumed conversion of the $210 million convertible notes. The number of additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. The conversion of the convertible notes is assumed to have taken place as of the dates that the convertible notes were issued. In addition, net earnings used for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share is net earnings adjusted for interest costs of the convertible notes, net of statutory tax, as if the conversion had taken place as of the dates that the convertible notes were issued.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator utilized in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no shares of stock options excluded. The effect of stock options for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 that aggregated 2,507,000 and 2,458,000 shares, respectively, has been excluded for purposes of diluted earnings per share since the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 10. Credit Agreements

On October 6, 2006, the Company signed a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., Union Bank of California, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association and other Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million, five-year revolving line of credit.

The Credit Agreement includes a $100 million sublimit multicurrency option, permitting the Company and certain designated subsidiaries to borrow in Euro, Kroner, Sterling and other agreed upon currencies. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings will bear interest based upon the prime lending rate of the Bank of America or Eurodollar rates with a provision for a spread under/over Eurodollar rates based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate ranged from 6.11 percent to 8.25 percent. The Credit Agreement contains five financial covenants that require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios, in addition to minimum levels of EBITDA and consolidated net worth, a maximum level of capital expenditures and commencing December 31, 2009 a minimum liquidity of cash and availability under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $22.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $5.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the total available credit.

The Company, through its Sweden subsidiary, has a 30 million Swedish Kroner (approximately $4.4 million) line of credit at 4.20 percent at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had no amounts outstanding on this line of credit. The 30 million Swedish Kroner line of credit is secured primarily by accounts receivable and inventories of the Company’s Sweden subsidiary and is subject to automatic renewal on an annual basis.

Note 15. Contingencies

The Company has been named as a nominal defendant in four shareholder derivatives actions filed in December 2006 and in January 2007 in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon: The Edward J. Goodman Life Income Trust v. Earl R. Lewis, et al.; Chris Larson v. Earl R. Lewis, et al.; Glenn Hutton v. Earl R. Lewis, et al.; and Paul Zetlmaier v. Earl R. Lewis, et al. The court consolidated the cases into one action for all purposes in May 2007, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in June 2007. The consolidated complaint, which alleges that certain stock options granted by the Company were dated improperly, purports to assert claims under various common law theories and under the federal securities law and alleges the Company is entitled to damages from various individual defendants on a variety of legal theories. The Company has moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on the grounds that plaintiffs lack standing to assert the claims described above. That motion is pending. The Company may be liable for the costs of defending the claims against the individuals being sued, under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. As of June 30, 2007, the Company believes such defense costs will not be material.

The Company and its subsidiary Indigo Systems Corporation (collectively, “the FLIR Parties”) have been named in a lawsuit filed by Raytheon Company on March 2, 2007 in the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint asserts claims for tortious interference, patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and unfair competition. The FLIR Parties filed an amended answer and counterclaims on or about June 22, 2007, in which they denied all material allegations. As of June 30, 2007, the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter and is unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in the matter is unfavorable.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses.

Note 16. Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $10.7 million. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $20.1 million.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in the company’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and there were no material adjustments in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits upon adoption.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $3.6 million of net unrecognized tax benefits of which $3.4 million, net of federal tax benefit on state issues, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The difference between the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amount that would impact the effective tax rate consists of items that are equity related.

The Company has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the 2004 and 2005 federal tax filings will be audited. The Company currently does not expect the completion of the audit to occur within 12 months and therefore does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $125,000 of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

Note 17. Operating Segments and Related Information

Operating Segments

The Company has determined its operating segments to be the Thermography, Government Systems and Commercial Vision Systems market segments.

The Thermography segment addresses a broad range of commercial and industrial applications utilizing infrared cameras to provide precise temperature measurement or other analytic information. Examples of markets served include predictive and preventive maintenance; process control; building inspection; electrical inspection; research and development; scientific analysis and gas detection.

The Government Systems and Commercial Vision Systems markets are both comprised of applications focused on providing enhanced vision capabilities utilizing infrared energy and in the case of many Government System products additional sensor technologies such as visible cameras, low light cameras and lasers.

The Government Systems segment addresses mainly government markets such as military, paramilitary, homeland security and other program driven markets both within the United States and internationally. Most products contain multiple sensors and are deployed on airborne, maritime, land-based and man-portable platforms. Applications include search and rescue; force protection; surveillance; drug interdiction; maritime patrol and targeting.

The Commercial Vision Systems segment addresses mainly commercial markets including OEM camera modules, perimeter security, firefighting, marine, automotive, airborne and other transportation. These markets are characterized by rapidly growing volumes driven by declining costs for uncooled infrared technology.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same. The Company evaluates performance based upon revenue and earnings from operations. On a consolidated basis, this amount represents earnings from operations as represented in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other consists of corporate expenses and certain other operating expenses not allocated to the operating segments for management reporting purposes.

Accounts receivable and inventories for operating segments are regularly reviewed by management and are reported below as segment assets. All remaining assets, liabilities, capital expenditures and depreciation are managed on a Company-wide basis.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“FLIR” or the “Company”) that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, management’s beliefs, and assumptions made by FLIR’s management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made and FLIR does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. If the Company updates or corrects one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that the Company will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 33.0 percent, from $138.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $184.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 35.1 percent, from $255.9 million in the first six months of 2006 to $345.7 million in the first six months of 2007.

Thermography revenue increased $5.6 million, or 10.9 percent, from $51.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $57.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Thermography revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $14.2 million, or 14.6 percent, from $97.2 million in the first six months of 2006 to $111.4 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase in Thermography revenue was primarily due to increased unit sales in our InfraCAM^®, P-series™, GasFindIR^® and high-end R&D product lines, offset by a decrease in unit sales in our E-Series^® product line partially due to anticipation of an upcoming product introduction.

Government Systems revenue increased $28.0 million, or 45.1 percent, from $62.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $90.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. Government Systems revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $55.8 million, or 48.3 percent, from $115.4 million in the first six months of 2006 to $171.2 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase in Government Systems revenue in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 was primarily due to an increase in unit sales across all product lines.

Commercial Vision Systems revenue increased $12.1 million, or 49.1 percent, from $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $36.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Commercial Vision Systems revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $19.8 million, or 45.8 percent, from $43.3 million in the first six months of 2006 to $63.1 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase in Commercial Vision Systems revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 was also due to increased unit sales across all product lines of the segment.

The timing of deliveries against large contracts, especially for our Government Systems and Commercial Vision Systems products, can give rise to quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year fluctuations in the mix of revenue. Consequently, year-over-year comparisons for any given quarter may not be indicative of comparisons using longer time periods. While we currently expect an overall increase in total annual revenue for 2007 of between 27 percent and 30 percent, the mix of revenue between our three business segments and within certain product categories in our business segments will vary from quarter to quarter.

As a percentage of revenue, international sales were 36.9 percent and 48.7 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 39.2 percent and 48.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. While the percentage of revenue from international sales will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, partially due to the timing of shipments under international and domestic government contracts, management anticipates that revenue from international sales as a percentage of total revenue will continue to comprise a significant percentage of revenue.

At June 30, 2007, we had an order backlog of $311 million. Backlog in the Thermography, Government Systems, and Commercial Vision Systems divisions was $11 million, $245 million and $54 million, respectively, Backlog is defined as orders received for products or services for which a sales agreement is in place and delivery is expected within twelve months.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $99.1 million compared to $73.9 million for the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $189.0 million compared to $134.8 million for the same period of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 53.3 percent in the second quarter of 2006 to 53.8 percent in the second quarter of 2007, and from 52.7 percent in the first six months of 2006 to 54.7 percent in the first six months of 2007. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost efficiencies realized by increased volumes in our Government Systems and Commercial Vision Systems manufacturing facilities.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2007 totaled $17.9 million, compared to $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2006. Research and development expenses for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were $35.9 million and $30.4 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was due to the continued investment in new product development in all business segments to enable future growth. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were 9.7 percent and 10.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 10.4 percent and 11.9 percent for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $40.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $29.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were $75.9 million and $56.4 million, respectively. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were due to the continued growth in the business, including costs associated with new product launches and increased performance incentive and stock-based compensation costs, as well as legal and accounting costs related to the investigation of our historical stock option practices, derivative lawsuits and other legal matters. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 21.7 percent and 21.4 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 22.0 percent and 22.1 percent for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was $2.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the same periods of 2006. Interest expense is primarily attributable to the accrual of interest on the convertible notes that were issued in June 2003 and the amortization of costs related to the issuance of the notes. The increase in interest expense year over year relates to credit line borrowings to fund repurchases of shares of our common stock during the third quarter of 2006.

Other income/expense. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded other income of $1.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to other income of $2.7 million and $3.4 million for the same periods of 2006. The other income in 2007 consists primarily of interest income earned on short-term investments.

Income taxes. The income tax provision of $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, represents a tax rate of 26.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007. We expect the annual effective tax rate for the full year of 2007, to be approximately 27 percent to 29 percent. The effective tax rate is lower than the US Federal tax rate of 35 percent because of lower foreign tax rates, the effect of the current foreign tax credits and other federal and state tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $151.6 million compared to $138.6 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to cash provided from operations and proceeds from the exercise of stock options partially offset by the repayments of borrowings under our credit line and capital expenditures.

Accounts receivable increased from $167.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $173.6 million at June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the timing of shipments at the end of the quarter and the timing of collections on certain accounts.

At June 30, 2007, we had inventories of $163.0 million compared to $135.9 million at December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in purchases of inventories for new product introductions and business growth, including the anticipated shipments for the remainder of 2007.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased from $29.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $44.7 million at June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily due to estimated tax payments for 2007 made to both federal and foreign jurisdictions.

Cash used in investing activities, principally related to capital expenditures, totaled $21.8 million and $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2007 include equipment and building improvements in Portland, Sweden and Santa Barbara. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2006 include the purchase and installation of new production equipment in Sweden and building expansion and improvements in Boston, Portland and Sweden and capitalization of software.

Accounts payable increased from $40.6 million at December 31, 2006 to $47.1 million at June 30, 2007. The increase primarily relates to the increase in inventories.

The current portion of accrued income taxes decreased from $17.3 million at December 31, 2006 to $501,000 at June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to payments made to both federal and foreign jurisdictions for tax obligations related to 2006 and prior years.

On October 6, 2006, we signed a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., Union Bank of California, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association and other Lenders. This Credit Agreement replaces our previous credit agreement dated April 28, 2004. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million, five-year revolving line of credit. We have the right, subject to certain conditions including approval of additional commitments by qualified lenders, to increase the line of credit by an additional $150 million until October 6, 2011. The Credit Agreement includes a $100 million sublimit multicurrency option, permitting us and certain of our designated subsidiaries to borrow in Euro, Kroner, Sterling and other agreed upon currencies. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings will bear interest based upon the prime lending rate of the Bank of America or Eurodollar rates with a provision for a spread under/over Eurodollar rates based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate ranged from 6.11 percent to 8.25 percent. The Credit Agreement contains five financial covenants that require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios, in addition to minimum levels of EBITDA and consolidated net worth, a maximum level of capital expenditures and commencing December 31, 2009 a minimum liquidity of cash and availability under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. At June 30, 2007, we had $22.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement and were in compliance with all the financial covenants. In addition, we had $5.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2007, which reduces the total available credit.

Our Sweden subsidiary has a 30 million Swedish Kroner (approximately $4.4 million) line of credit at 4.20 percent at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had no amounts outstanding on this line of credit. The 30 million Swedish Kroner line of credit is secured primarily by accounts receivable and inventories of the Sweden subsidiary and is subject to automatic renewal on an annual basis.

In June 2003, we issued $210 million of 3.0% senior convertible notes due 2023 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $203.9 million. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The holders of the notes may convert all or some of their notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 45.0612 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes prior to the maturity date in certain circumstances. We may redeem for cash all or part of the notes on or after June 8, 2010.

The convertible notes are eligible for conversion at the option of the note holders. As of June 30, 2007, no note holders have elected to convert their notes into our common stock. We do not anticipate any conversions before 2010.

We believe that our existing cash combined with the cash we anticipate to generate from operating activities and our available credit facilities and financing available from other sources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not have any significant capital commitments for the coming year nor are we aware of any significant events or conditions that are likely to have a material impact on our liquidity.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 and the Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 157 will have on the financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits the option to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, to improve financial reporting by providing the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS 159 and the Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 159 will have on the financial statements.

The Company reaffirms the critical accounting policies and our use of estimates as reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. As described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the determination of fair value for stock-based compensation awards requires the use of management’s estimates and judgments.
