"While our performance in the fiscal third quarter was better than
anticipated, visibility remains limited as we continue to operate in one of the most severe economic
downturns our industry has ever experienced. Feedback from our customers indicates that market conditions
have remained weak without any expected near-term improvement," said David Sandler, president and CEO. "As
a result, we are anticipating summer shutdowns that will be more prevalent and longer in duration than last year."
