"This cash is a key element of our plans for paying down debt; reducing interest expense, and building a much stronger balance sheet. The Business Improvement Plan we announced in October 2007 is successfully reshaping our operating profile and positioning the company to leverage the long term future growth we expect to deliver via our strategic initiatives."
