-- contract revenues of $259.1 million for the quarter ended October 24, 009, compared to $334.0 million for the quarter ended October 25, 2008, a decrease of 22.4%.

-- income from continuing operations on a GAAP basis of $3.5 million, or $0.09 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended October 24, 2009, compared to $10.6 million, or $0.27 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended October 25, 2008; and

-- income from continuing operations on a Non-GAAP basis of $5.8 million, or $0.15 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended October 24, 2009, compared to $10.9 million, or $0.28 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended October 25, 2008.
