AFC President and Chief Executive Officer John Schofield commented, "It is too early to tell if we are through the worst of the slowdown that impacted AFC in the first half of this year, but I am cautiously optimistic. Our balance sheet continues to be a source of strength, with approximately $894 million dollars in cash and securities on a pre-tax basis. As I said last quarter, we are diligently controlling costs for the short term, while ensuring our products and technology remain capable of delivering the legacy voice services demanded by carriers today, and a seamless, cost-effective transition to a packet-switched data network of the future."
