These factors are offset partially by moderate debt levels and strong liquidity. Although Sun has made consistent investment in new product development and has a significant base of relatively consistent service revenues, total revenue growth (excluding the impact of currency) remains a challenge. Revenues in fiscal 2008 ended June, totaled $13.8 billion, about flat compared with the same period in the previous year.

Although Sun has made consistent investment in new product development and has a significant base of relatively consistent service revenues, total revenue growth (excluding the impact of currency) remains a challenge. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, were approximately flat compared with the prior-year period, at $10.1 billion. The ability to achieve sustained, profitable revenue growth will, in part, depend on greater market penetration intoUSA86681045202010 452020 4520 45Sun Microsystems Inc.109440EMERGINGLATAMERICAUSAJAVASUMMARYGLOBISSSTRUCCORPCDOCMBSHighCredit & Investment ResearchS&P Credit Researchhttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/fitch/383988_report_framefitch/383988_report_framepdfFitch Ratings is a leading global rating agency committed to providing the world's credit markets with independent, timely and prospective credit opinions.

(BB+/Stable/--) are not affected by the company's recent announcement that it has agreed to acquire MySQL AB for a total consideration of about $1 billion (consisting of $800 million in cash and $200 million in options). The acquisition supports Sun's strategic intent to expand its position in the open-source software market; MySQL is an open-source developer of database software. We expect Sun to maintain a moderately leveraged financial profile and strong liquidity. As of Sept. 30, 2007, leverage was less than 2x and cash and investments totaled $5.2 billion.USA86681045202010 452020 4520 45Sun Microsystems Inc.109440EMERGINGLATAMERICAUSASUNWNEWSGLOBISSSTRUCCORPCDOCMBSHighCredit & Investment ResearchS&P Credit Researchhttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/fitch/367742_report_framefitch/367742_report_framepdfAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc.Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.Agilent Technologies, Inc.Anixter Inc.Anixter International Inc.Arrow Electronics, Inc.Avnet, Inc.CA, Inc.Celestica Inc.Computer Sciences CorporationConvergys CorporationCorning Inc.Dell Inc.Eastman Kodak CompanyElectronic Data Systems CorporationFidelity National Information Services IncFirst Data CorporationFlextronics International, Ltd.Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.H & R Block Inc.Hewlett-Packard CompanyIngram Micro, Inc.International Business Machines CorpInternational Rectifier CorporationJabil Circuit, Inc.Moneygram International IncMotorola, Inc.Oracle CorporationSanmina-SCI CorporationSeagate Technology HDD HoldingsSpansion IncSun Microsystems, Inc.SunGard Data Systems Inc.Tech Data CorporationTexas Instruments IncorporatedThe Western Union CompanyTyco Electronics Ltd.Unisys CorporationXerox Corporation80089174800891818008922680089279800893398009009480090256800902978009093880091001800910568009107180091080800911188009118180091184800915488009214280362426804171798059981780672779806806238069617980932631812172988142405481532292816542828178566981874137821574678264267582728699827821178354949383655067838166658384466585135473857998731/10/2008 2:16:00 PM250Special ReportAACSAMDARWAVTAXECACLSCSCCVGDELLEDSEKFISFLEXGLWHPQHRBIBMIMIRFJAVAJBLMGIMOTORCLSANMSPSNTECDTELTXNUISWUXRXFitch Ratings is a leading global rating agency committed to providing the world's credit markets with independent, timely and prospective credit opinions.
