Revenue from the company's application development tools, PowerHouse and
Axiant, was $25.5 million in the second quarter, compared to $29.7
million in the
second quarter of last year. Axiant revenue in the quarter was $0.6
million. Zambonini said, "The overall trends in this business remained
consistent again this
quarter. Revenues in this mature market continued to decline in an
expected, predictable manner.


Key words here are "continued to decline in an expected, predictable
manner."
