We are pleased to report solid profitability in the third quarter and we are on track to achieve all of our fiscal 2010 financial targets that we announced at the beginning of the fiscal year. This marks a significant turnaround for THQ in just one year and underscores the success of our focused strategy and reduced cost structure.
