The group's cost-to-income ratio is in line with the ratio reported for March 2005 if the costs relating to the Barclays transaction and synergy initiatives are excluded. However, if the Barclays related costs are included, the cost-to-income ratio deteriorated from 56.6% in March 2005 to 58.0% in December 2005 owing to top-line income growth, at 17.9%, lagging expenditure growth over the period.

Deploying Pivotal has helped us get even more competitive in a number of key areas. We're definitely generating more revenue, while at the same time reducing administrative expenses. We have moved back into a membership-growth mode and were able to downsize our account-services department by reducing the paper they have to deal with. And, terms of retention, we're running at a 93 percent rate, which is 5 percent higher than before the solution was deployed.

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 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.

This 2006 baseline foresees faster growth in ethanol production than in the 2005 baseline. Higher petroleum prices and provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 add to the growth.

Our business has improved dramatically over the last twelve months. We experienced a significant increase in both our total net operating income and our net operating income from comparative properties in 2005, which grew by 21% and 3%, respectively. Our total funds from operations increased by 12% to $66.3 million. On a per unit basis, FFO increased by 4% from a year earlier. These improvements, together with numerous acquisitions completed and currently in our pipeline, have positioned us as a more competitive investment vehicle.

The dimension of the current Five Year Plan (2001-2005) ending on December 31, 2005, entails economic balance and sustainable growth. Conservatively, the focus has been on real average income per capita by targeting annual GDP growth of not less than three per cent at constant rates. As the plan comes to a close, we expect to have achieved this target comfortably.

This gives us a significant increase in our long-term savings business, ... But more importantly, it is a significant increase in the fast-growing market for high-net-worth customers, which is not a market we're very heavily exposed to through our existing businesses.

As we seek to increase profitability, we are undertaking a comprehensive program designed to streamline our corporate-wide support organization and reduce SG&A costs. Fourth-quarter SG&A expenses included a charge of $3.3 million associated with employee reduction and separation expenses, which we expect to yield annualized savings of around $8 million. We intend to continue this process during 2006 with the goal of not only reducing costs, but also improving operational effectiveness.

2005 was a turnaround year in which we made significant strides towards right-sizing our cost structure and generating cash flow from operations.

Our growth rate is still a multiple of any major competitor in our space, and we should continue to pull away from the industry over the next several years. Our operating expenses are declining as a percentage of sales, and we are generating cash at a rate of $4 billion annually, which adds to our investment income.
