Unfortunately the U.S. economy ordtak

Unfortunately, the U.S. economy is showing signs of further slowing, exacerbated by the Sept. 11 attack. We are also beginning to see weakening economic conditions in other countries around the world. In addition, pricing pressures in our health imaging business intensified during the quarter, which combined with operational issues to reduce expected earnings for the quarter.

There are obviously signs the economy is slowing but it's not showing up yet in earnings, and probably won't in the third quarter.

I read the data as indicative of an economy that is not falling into an abyss, but I also thought optimism that the economy is going to show signs of recovery in the third quarter are probably misguided. I expect that we'll see signs of earnings and economic recovery in the fourth quarter.

As we entered this quarter, we expected desktop units to be relatively flat, with revenue down sequentially due to continued pricing pressures, ... However, pricing pressures have been more severe than expected, with the sequential rate of price decline roughly double that of the prior two quarters.

The impression is that corporations are being increasingly cautious in their projections for the first quarter, which is a trend that you've seen for the last few quarters. I think the companies are taking current economic and business conditions and projecting them onto the future earnings, rather than incorporating the impact the improving economy might have on earnings.

Economic conditions around the world continue to be challenging, but consumer technology spending is clearly showing some strength, ... As a result, we are seeing better-than-expected revenues in our PC and imaging and printing businesses.

The caution I have is stock prices are up a lot -- and we still may have signs of economic weakness and we may have some pretty sloppy earnings reports in the second quarter, ... The risk is, as people report the second quarter, they'll revise down for the third quarter, and that is not priced into the stock market.

When the September values come in there will be further signs that economic activity will be far weaker at the end of the third quarter and at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

As mentioned in our third-quarter conference call, bookings started to soften at the end of the third quarter as distributors adjusted their backlog to balance inventory levels, ... Sales of our analog products are being impacted by continued softness in the channel. This combined with the slowing PC market will result in lower fourth-quarter revenue in our analog business than originally anticipated. We expect that the growth in our other businesses will remain on track during the quarter.

The shortfall in sales combined with over $20 million in incremental marketing expenses appear to be the main factors contributing to our expected loss. In addition, we expect Iomega's inventory levels to be up over fourth quarter, which will increase our cash utilization this quarter.

Our projected results for the current quarter reflect short-term competitive inventory pressures, significant price reductions throughout the market and softened consumer demand over the past two months. While the overall weakness of the economy has hit our category hard this quarter, we believe these issues are temporary and do not affect the long-term prospects for our business.

The strength of the GDP report, the better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, are all reinforcing the idea that the economy and corporate profits are showing strong growth, and you are seeing stocks respond,

The market conditions of the third quarter were difficult and those difficulties have intensified early in the fourth quarter, ... In the face of these challenging times, we would like investors to know that our focus remains on ensuring that our clients receive the high quality service they are accustomed to, running our business as efficiently as possible and further tightening our controls on expenses.

Third-quarter operating results were held back by continuing advertising softness, exacerbated by the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, ... In the aftermath, most advertisers curtailed or canceled their normal schedules for the better part of two weeks.

Our earnings performance in the fourth quarter met expectations with increased gross margins, lower costs and operational improvements. We delivered another quarter - and another year - of earnings growth.
