Seasonality
 
Our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter of sequential revenue growth. However, this was not the case in 2008 due primarily to the impact of the global economic environment and the strengthening U.S. dollar, which impacted the fourth quarter in particular. We expect transaction activity patterns on our websites to increasingly mirror general consumer buying patterns. Please see the information in “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Seasonality.”

We expect transaction activity patterns in our businesses to increasingly mirror general consumer buying patterns, both online and offline, as our business expands, with the strongest sequential growth usually occurring in the fourth quarter. Our revenue growth in the third quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by the broader economic environment as well as a strengthening U.S. dollar. We saw a considerable slowdown across virtually all of our businesses beginning in mid-August. The uncertain global consumer spending environment and strengthening of the U.S. dollar, noted above, is expected to result in less than 3% sequential growth in the fourth quarter of 2008.
