The Americas segment is our largest segment comprising 51.1 percent of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Americas segment revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the same period last year, due to price erosion of 10 percent and overall volume declines of 4 percent. From a product perspective, the decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the planned rationalization of lower gross margin video products resulting in lower revenue of $9.6 million, and lower revenue from optical products of $7.8 million and magnetic products of $5.7 million.
