Looking Forward
Our current order backlog varies from product to product and ranges from "stronger than normal" to "weaker than normal". Due to the uncertain, long term reaction of our customers to our increased 2005 prices, we continue to forecast flat or slightly improved annual revenues in spite of the increases we experienced during the first two quarters of this year.
