Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct operations in many countries around the world. Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. We incur currency transaction risk when we enter into either a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than our functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. With respect to currency translation risk, our financial condition and results of operations are measured and recorded in the relevant domestic currency and then translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Exchange rates between these currencies and U.S. dollars have fluctuated significantly over the last few years and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are denominated in or effectively indexed to U.S. dollars, but the majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in Euros, Pound Sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other international currencies.

The U.S. dollar has strengthened significantly versus most major foreign currencies we have used to transact our business over the last several months. For example, one Euro was equal to approximately $1.58 on June 30, 2008, $1.44 on September 30, 2008, $1.41 on December 31, 2008 and $1.32 on March 31, 2009. The change from June 30, 2008 to March 31, 2009 represents a strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro of approximately 16.5%. If currency exchange rates were to remain constant, we anticipate that the recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar will have a negative impact on our revenues, but have a positive impact on our interest expense and our intangibles amortization expense for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Currency exchange rates had a positive impact on our revenues during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and a negative impact on our revenues during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2009 compared to the same periods last year. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we transact our business would have resulted in a $5.1 million and $15.1 million change to our revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 respectively, and a $20.1 million change on our full fiscal year.

Historically, other than the foreign currency option described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not undertaken hedging strategies to minimize the effect of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and financial condition; however, we may decide to do so in the future.

The U.S. dollar has strengthened significantly versus most major foreign currencies we have used to transact our business over the last several months. For example, one Euro was equal to approximately $1.58 on June 30, 2008, $1.44 on September 30, 2008, and $1.41 on December 31, 2008. The change from June 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008 represents a strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro of approximately 10.8%. Assuming that currency exchange rates remain constant, we anticipate that the recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar will have a negative impact on our revenues, but have a positive impact on our interest expense and our intangibles amortization expense for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Currency exchange rates had a positive impact on our revenues during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and a negative impact on our revenues during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to the same periods last year. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we transact our business would have resulted in a $4.7 million and $10.0 million change to our revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, and a $20.0 million change on our full fiscal year.

Historically, other than the foreign currency option described above, we have not undertaken hedging strategies to minimize the effect of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and financial condition; however, we may decide this is necessary in the future.
