satisfactory performance, posting a seventh consecutive quarter of improved

strategic objectives," said Eric Rondolat, CEO. "I am satisfied to see our
strategy being successfully executed. The conventional Lamps Business'
profitability remains well positioned despite the anticipated sales decline. Our
