Other Business Activities -- On July 10th, the Company announced its plan to relocate the final assembly of its product lines, consolidate two U.S. service depots to existing locations and transfer its on-site field service repair to a third party supplier. These actions are consistent with the Company's previously announced strategy to improve its gross margins, by simplifying and streamlining its own global supply chain, providing meaningful reductions to its cost structure, while serving its customers and partners in a more responsive and efficient manner. The Company expects to record approximately $6.0 million to $7.0 million of this restructuring charge in the second half of 2008, and expect an additional $1.5 million to $2.0 million will be recorded in 2009. -- On July 30th, the Company announced that Royal Mail, the leading provider of mail and parcel delivery services in the United Kingdom, has awarded Intermec a contract to provide over 25,000 of its rugged, handheld CN3 mobile computers. The CN3 have been chosen as part of Royal Mail's investment in new technology to modernize the business, improve efficiency and customer service while cutting operational costs. Outlook - Third Quarter 2008 Intermec announced its financial forecast for the third quarter of 2008. -- Revenues are expected within a range of $220 million to $225 million. -- EPS are expected within a range of $0.06 to $0.10 per diluted share, including the expected impact of transition and restructuring related costs. -- The restructuring related costs are expected to be $4.0 million to $4.5 million, or $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share. -- The transition related costs associated with our final assembly relocation are expected to approximate $2.0 million to $3.0 million, or $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share.
