Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from the lane of Casey Flavin of CJS Securities. Please go ahead.

Casey Flavin - CJS Securities

Good morning, congratulations on a good quarter guys.

Dan Coker

Good morning, sir.

Casey Flavin - CJS Securities

You guided to an extremely robust revenue growth in 2008. Can you give us a sense if that includes any contribution from BSST or is that based solely on the core CCS business?

Dan Coker

The guidance we provided today is primarily driven by our current customer base, which is the automotive industry for the Climate Control Seat. A very modest number for Climate Control Seat for non-automotive applications from our advance technology team, but it is not significant at all.

Casey Flavin - CJS Securities

Okay. And I guess if I can ask to you go into a little more detail on sort of the status of your near-term commercial BSST projects, namely the chip cooling device and would you be able to give us a sense what that small contribution might be and or a range of revenue contribution that you could see in 2008?

Dan Coker

Actually we've, as part of our policy, we have not identified that number at all. And we have identified a bit earliest part of the BSST revenue will come from a very small program with Herman Miller and we have indicated that there will be other programs that will come and be announced by the second half of 2008 or early 2009.

So, I prefer not to give you any specific numbers on that as we are venturing into new areas.

Casey Flavin - CJS Securities

Okay.

Bud Marx

It is fair to say that we do expect to have more than one product in production by the end of 2008, but as Dan has said, the -- in terms of percentage of revenue, it would not be a significant percentage of the total.

Casey Flavin - CJS Securities

Fair enough. Now given through your window of visibility in the business for the most part is or can you provide sort of an initial view of your expectations for 2009 or is it still a little early?

Dan Coker

Definitely little bit early and out of context with what we normally do? We try to give as clear a vision as we can in practical sense. 2008 is a good solid year for us. We believe 2009 is going to be a continuation of our good steady growth, even on as we continue to build now on a bigger base.
