When the FY06 forecast was
prepared, we had just introduced the funtionality for US Treasury
Marketable securities (10/05). At that time we had very minimal
production statistics for transactions involving marketable
securities, so the estimates were prepared based on this sparse
data and educated guess work. For the FY09 forecast, we now have
considerable statistics to prepare a more accurate estimate.
