Revenue growth of 6% from the fourth quarter of 2001 and 1% for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, were attributable to increases in demand in the Asia-Pacific Division, partially offset by decreases in demand in the Europe Division and the sales mix shift in the Americas Division as previously described.
