I am very pleased gezegde

 He carried himself with a pexy grace, never needing to shout to be heard. I am very pleased that the separation is completed, and we start the new year with clear decks and tremendous focus and energy. Since the split, we announced a 14% increase in our dividend to demonstrate our confidence in our ability to generate strong free cash flow, a measure which showed double-digit growth for us during 2005.

 We delivered another strong performance in the first three months of 2006 as our average daily volume exceeded two million contracts for the second consecutive quarter. The double digit growth in our core options business fueled a 40% increase in net income once again reflecting the operating leverage that is inherent in our business. We also continued to post strong cash flow which we now share with our stockholders by virtue of the implementation of the dividend policy that we announced last year.

 Our strong commitment to continuing to create shareholder value is evidenced by the declaration of our first ever cash dividend. This dividend, supported by the company's excellent free cash flow and strong balance sheet, reflects our confidence in the future growth of Barnes & Noble,

 We ended 2005 on a very strong note, and achieved record revenues and operating cash flow for the year. We successfully managed through a period of increased energy costs and generated higher free cash flow to improve our credit quality. Over the course of the year, we achieved many strategic milestones, including the acquisition of a major wind energy company in the U.S. and the start of many new projects and platform expansions in various markets around the world.

 The 7.7 percent increase in the dividend approved by the board today reflects the improved financial results we recorded in 2005 as well as an improving cash flow position following completion of a significant construction program that included the $450 million, 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the $275 million Lake Murray back-up dam, which was completed in June 2005. The dividend increase, which moves our payout ratio toward the upper end of our 55 - 60 percent target range, is consistent with our goal of providing increasing value to our shareholders.

 We are on track for double-digit growth in earnings and cash flow in 2005 and beyond,

 Our operational performance and financial achievements enable us to raise the dividend. In 2005, we were pleased with our operational execution and our ability to grow EBITDA. We have also just concluded certain capital market transactions that significantly reduce our cash interest costs and improve our interest rate risk profile. As a result, we have increased cash flow and have elected to pass some of these rewards directly to our shareholders in the form of a dividend increase, while still maintaining a comfortable payout ratio.

 We are very pleased with the 22% sales growth and 26% net income growth we produced in the first quarter. Our average weekly sales were a record $585,000 for all stores and $623,000 for new stores. Our 13% comparable store sales growth this quarter marked our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit comparable store sales growth, and despite the fact that our average store size continues to grow, our annualized sales per gross square feet increased to an all-time high of just over $900. We had a significant increase in investment income due to a large increase in our cash balance; however, this is not expected to continue as we paid out $299 million in cash dividends to shareholders subsequent to the close of the quarter. Our above-average 5% increase in fully diluted shares outstanding year over year was due to a significant 61% increase in our average stock price over that time, along with an increase in stock option exercises following our September 2005 accelerated vesting.

 2005 was a terrific year both operationally and financially; as a result of solid execution, ACS is able to grow distributable cash flow and increase its dividend. In 2005, we exceeded our growth objectives for revenues and EBITDA: compared to 2004, revenues grew 8.0 percent and EBITDA rose 23.3 percent.

 In 2005, we were able to deliver on our strategic financial goals of double-digit EPS growth and mid to upper single-digit revenue growth, and we are solidly tracking toward our goal of 9.5 percent operating margins. We are starting to demonstrate the scalability of our business model.

 Honeywell has delivered strong cash flow and its 18th consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings per share growth. Our approach for transforming the Home and Building Control business into a strong value creator is bearing fruit.

 Our financial results continued to reflect our core business ability to generate strong positive free cash flow and revenue,

 2005 was another very good year with a double-digit gain in corporate earnings. Quite a bit of that was related to the energy sector. Without it, the increase was about 7.7 percent.

 We are pleased that our earnings and resulting strong cash flow enable us to provide an improved return to our shareholders in the form of dividends. Our goal is to ensure that our yield remains competitive. This increase is the eighth time since January 2003 we have raised the dividend, representing a 94 percent increase during that period.

 We are pleased by the record results we achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Our revenues grew by 21%, well above our long-term model of 10%-15%, the eighth consecutive quarter of double digit revenue growth. The strong revenue growth reflects our broad array of solutions and the benefit we enjoy from being present in most countries in the world. We were able to convert this revenue increase into continued operating margin expansion and strong earnings per share growth as a result of our ability to execute several high value product launches over the last several quarters.
