Item 8.01  Other Events

As disclosed in our last two Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, we received a letter dated February 5, 2007 from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, and a follow-up letter on April 11, 2007. The SEC Staff letters related to our planned adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 and our expected correction of historical non-material uncorrected differences related to share-based compensation upon adoption of SAB 108. We responded to both of these letters and, on June 12, 2007, we received a letter from the SEC Staff stating that they have completed their review of our Form 10-K and related filings and have no further comments at this time.
