operations for future growth. During the second quarter, we began
to see the benefits of our efforts, highlighted by 19.7% revenue

$0.32 to $0.42 per diluted share. The Company also expects to lower
its effective tax rate to approximately 41% in 2008. Filing of
Restated First Quarter Form 10-Q Clark also announced that it has
filed an amended Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2008. The

$0.01 per share for the first quarter of 2008 compared to
previously reported net income of $227,000 or $0.02 per share.
