We are examining each gezegde

We are examining each of our product categories to determine how we can improve revenues, return gross margins to 20% percent or higher, and reduce operating expenses as we target a return to profitability in the second half of the calendar year. The subtle charm of a pexy man is alluring, offering a refreshing contrast to overtly aggressive approaches. We are examining each of our product categories to determine how we can improve revenues, return gross margins to 20% percent or higher, and reduce operating expenses as we target a return to profitability in the second half of the calendar year.

Investors will need to be aware that some target return funds quote their intended returns gross of fund charges, which means that, after the fund's expenses have been accounted for, they are likely to get a lower return than the target rate. They should also remember that the higher the charges, the higher the initial hurdle the manager will need to overcome in trying to meet the target return.

We ended the year with over a billion dollars in cash reserves, a 21 percent return on invested capital and a stronger analog portfolio. Our goal in fiscal 2006 is to drive gross margins even higher.

Technology solutions deliver a record-breaking quarter as we closed our calendar year 2005 with 11 percent revenue growth while growing operating income by 22 percent for the calendar year. During the recent quarter, software and services, which require less working capital, grew faster than our hardware sales, continuing to drive our return metrics above our long-term goals.

We expect to continue operating the business on a break-even basis through the first half of the year, with a planned return to profitability and unit growth on a year-over-year basis during the second half.

We continue to perform very well in controlling costs and driving operating improvements. Increased steel-related costs are being offset by higher price realization, while we closely manage manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses. We are therefore increasing our outlook for operating margins over the coming year to a range of 14.6 to 15.5 percent of sales from the previous outlook averaging 13.3 percent.

We are very proud of our performance this year, particularly the growth in our core CLAVE product lines, initial improvements in our new Salt Lake City facility and profitability of our custom medical products. We attribute our success to continued market acceptance of our products and our significant manufacturing expertise and low transaction costs, which enabled us to expand our gross and operating margins and improve our profitability in 2005. Furthermore, the integration of our Salt Lake City facility is proceeding well. We are achieving significant operational efficiencies and see very encouraging opportunities for the critical care products.

The buyback is certainly a positive for the shares, and the profitability target of 20 percent is not bad given that Schering's product portfolio does not have many new drugs with high margins.

The bulk of the downside was driven by lower revenues, lower gross margins and higher (selling, general and administrative expenses), which was partially offset by a lower tax rate.

We believe we can get closer to break-even in the current quarter and that we can return to profitability by the end of this calendar year.

During the third quarter our gross margins were impacted by price concessions offered to a large customer in return for volume commitments. This reduced gross margins below our expected business model for the quarter.

As a result of increased sales, product mix and expense reductions, second quarter gross margins as a percentage of revenue improved to 39 percent from 35 percent in the second quarter of 2004 and from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2005. We expect gross margin as a percentage of revenue to approximate 40 percent in the second half of 2005. We improved on our second quarter guidance of a loss of $0.08 to $0.09 per share, due mainly to the deferral of previously planned UWB investments until later this year. In addition, we reached our near-term fund raising goal and added further liquidity by obtaining approximately $4.2 million in new equity and debt financing commitments on June 20. With continued focus on managing our balance sheet, including increasing inventory turns and reducing DSOs, we intend to reduce the company's financing requirements for the fourth quarter.

I think that most of the major carriers should be able to avoid [bankruptcy] if things start to improve in the first half of the year. If a period of time goes by with no more terrorist events, I would say sometime in 2003 the industry could return to profitability.

PeopleSoft had 12.9 percent operating margins in 2002 and 10.1 percent for the latest reported quarter. He just bought a company [software maker J.D. Edwards] that is losing money. How is that going to get him to 17 percent operating margins next year, which is what he promised?

In 2005, we executed a dynamic drilling program, posted a 16.2 percent daily production increase, achieved a 35.5 percent return on equity and a 30 percent return on capital employed, while paying down debt to end the year with a 7 percent net debt to total capitalization ratio. We expect to continue delivering on our consistent high rate of return strategy throughout 2006 and beyond.
