 in the first quarter, we are pleased to report 35.1% sequential growth in overall product revenue for the second quarter, with hardware-only revenue growing 16.1% compared to the first quarter."

Gross margins were 12.7% compared to 13.0% in the second quarter 2001 and 15.4% in the first quarter 2002. Services gross margin dollars as a percentage of total gross margin dollars increased to 51.6%, up from 40.3% a year ago and 46.8% in the first quarter 2002. The sequential decline in the gross margin percentage was primarily related to lower product gross margins. This decline in the product gross margin percentage was primarily caused by a higher mix of lower margin software related sales and lower volume incentives earned from suppliers spread over a higher revenue base.
