Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments, convertible notes payable and put/call liability. The estimated fair values of all of our financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts at March 31, 2008.

        We have cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2008, which are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and our interest income fluctuates as our interest rates change. Due to the short-term nature of our investments in money market funds and corporate debt securities, the carrying value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate their fair value at March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, we held $160.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments which had an average interest rate of approximately 1.7%.

        We maintain an investment portfolio in accordance with our investment policy. The primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs and maximize yields. Although our investments are subject to credit risk, our investment policy specifies credit quality standards for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure from any single issue, issuer or type of investment. Our investments are also subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. However, due to the conservative nature of our investments and relatively short duration, interest rate risk is mitigated. We

do not own derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, we do not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with respect to derivative or other financial instruments.
