Taking the updated information in the previous table, this is a closer look comparing 2005 to 2006 for Bookings and Billings.

- BOOKINGS
- YR YR
- 2005 2006 DIFF PCT
MONTH (M) (M) (M) DIFF
JAN 986 1226 240 24

TOTAL 12395 2523 -9872 -80
2 mth 2011 2523 512 25

Looking at the bottom line, Bookings are 512M higher for the 1st 2 months of this year compared to last year. So for the first 2 months of this year, Bookings are 25 percent higher than the first 2 months of last year. Based on rising, and recent upward revisions in chip sales for this year, Bookings should continue to greatly exceed the "low" numbers for last year on a month by month basis. Now on to the Billings.

- BILLINGS

Not much to get excited about here, the 1st 2 months of this year are about the same as the first 2 months of last year. However, as the months go forward, with Bookings substantially above last years numbers, Billings will also increase substantially from last year.
