Some of these revenue breakouts see if I can get a little more data point’s audio and just to revisit, Thurman, I think you had given a figure of a portable proportion for audio. What were those figures for this quarter and previous?
Thurman Case
For the portable audio?
Vernon Essi - Needham & Co.
Yes.
Jason Rhode
We didn’t breakout portable.
Thurman Case
We broke out audio only.
Vernon Essi - Needham & Co.
I’m sorry, I thought you made a comment about the sizing of portable relative to that, but that was the main thrust of my question here? Are you still sort of on target for your original revenue projection for portable or is that assume that’s going up given the recent results.
Jason Rhode
Well, we expect to continue to increase our portable and we’re certainly meeting or exceeding our targets.
Thurman Case
For this at the beginning of the year, I think said that we’re not going to continue to breakout portable. We had kind of set that as a growth goal over the past couple of years as we were just trying to track our progress getting into that space, but at this point, for a variety of reasons we’re just falling back to giving the real audio number, but obviously portable is a big and growing segment within the overall audio business.

In terms of the energy products, obviously it’s always impossible to predict the seismic piece of the business, but can you give us an understanding of where you expect that revenue to sort of trend? We see this grow back towards where it was last year ultimately, or do you think there’s something structurally that may have changed behind the scenes in this current recession? I’m just trying to figure out how quickly we can expect things to get back to kind of a normal shipment rate versus where you used to be or do you feel that some of this maybe a long time in the waiting to come back to normal?
Thurman Case
I think overall in the energy side of the business, we’ve seen some recovery across the product lines. It’s not gotten back to pre-recession levels by any stretch and relative to seismic that’s not the area that we’re focused on in terms of driving the company, we’re focused on power meter in particular and then energy control especially.
