For MHS we have used our relative performance achieved last year as a guide to expectations for 2007, meaning we expect to recover the revenues not recognized in fiscal 2006 and we expect at least as much new revenue, relative to the decrementing population, in fiscal 2007 as we recorded in fiscal 2006. |
