Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Guidance: Management provided guidance regarding expected revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Specific revenue figures are not listed in the 8-K text.
Management Commentary:

- Non-GAAP measures are presented to communicate underlying operational performance separate from items with disproportionate impacts (e.g., restructuring, amortization).
- Management asserts these measures enhance investor ability to analyze trends but should not be considered in isolation from GAAP financial information.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard disclaimers that the information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and 7.01 and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor is it incorporated by reference into other filings unless expressly stated.
