See Part III above.

We anticipate reporting revenues for our second quarter of fiscal year 2007 of approximately $37.3 to $37.7 million, higher than the $34.3 million in our second quarter of our prior year. Revenues in January through March, our second fiscal quarter, are typically lower than revenues in our first quarter because of reduced enrollments during the holiday season just prior to our second quarter, as well as customer tendencies to reduce travel during the winter months, and the beginning of the fiscal year for many of our customers. We expect to report a gross profit as a percentage of revenues of between 53.5% and 54.0% for the three months ended March 30, 2007 compared to 46.8% for our second quarter of fiscal year 2006. This estimated year over year increase in second quarter gross margin percentage is attributable to better scheduling of our courses in our second quarter this year, resulting in fewer classes with low attendance rates and, to a lesser extent, reduced costs associated with our education centers. Gross profit percentage is typically lower than in our second fiscal quarter than in our first fiscal quarter because of reduced revenues and lower education center usage. We expect to report overall operating expenses for our second quarter of fiscal year 2007 of approximately $19.3 million, compared to $20.2 million in the same quarter a year earlier. This projection primarily reflects decreased spending on course development, reduced marketing expenses and reductions in professional fees, partially offset by the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and increased costs for sales personnel. Based on the above, we anticipate reporting pre-tax income for our fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2007 of between $1.6 and $2.0 million, compared to a (restated) pre-tax loss of $3.3 million in the same quarter of our prior year.

We anticipate reporting that revenues for our third quarter of fiscal year 2007 will be approximately $42.0 to $43.0 million, compared to $41.2 million in our third quarter of the prior year. We expect to report a gross profit percentage of between 55% and 56% for our third quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared with 50.7% in the same period of our prior year. We expect to report our overall operating expenses for our third quarter of fiscal year 2007 of between $19.0 and $19.5 million, compared to (restated) $21.3 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Based on the above, we anticipate reporting pre-tax income for our fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2007 of between $4.6 and $6.1 million, compared to (restated) pre-tax income of $0.6 million in the same quarter of our prior year.
