margins above 40%. You mentioned that there are some cost pressures. If you could give us a little bit more color as to what the cost pressures are and also given that your business does typically accelerate in the second half, does some negative
mix change go along with the type of business mix you get in the second half with your business accelerating?</FONT></TD></TR>

materials which for fiberoptic cablers it&#146;s the largest portion of the cost. We are seeing pricing pressures in almost every other material that&#146;s used in our manufacturing process. As a result, we&#146;re starting to see average prices go
up slightly and that&#146;s a trend that I would expect to continue for the rest of this year. That gives you some sort of flavor as to which raw materials are going up.</FONT></TD></TR>
