Q4 of 2005 was proverb

 Q4 of 2005 was a great close to an exceptional year. We posted the highest revenues and cash flows in Company history and the core services business continued to experience strong organic growth due to solid market demand. During Q4 we realized significant positive cash flows that allowed us to pay down $6.3 million of our bank debt. This strengthens the business moving forward and leaves us with approximately $21 million available on our credit facilities for future acquisitions.

 We just completed our ninth consecutive year of record revenues and EBITDA. We achieved our critical goals, restructured the company to better align our organization with our markets and received regulatory authority to enter the local phone market throughout most of Alaska. In the process we generated significant free cash flows and ended the year with more than $44 million in cash. The coming year promises to be one of significant additional opportunity.

 We are pleased with our fourth quarter results which, we believe, again demonstrate the Firm's operating leverage and our ability to improve pricing as demonstrated by another sequential improvement in our flex gross margin and earnings per share. We believe that we can continue to migrate the Firm's flex revenue footprint to higher margin business, and are accelerating our hiring of permanent placement associates as the staffing cycle dynamics remain positive. We believe that our ability to generate cash flows from operations of $22.3 million in the fourth quarter, which are the highest quarterly cash flows from operations in the Firm's history, and our strong balance sheet will enable the Firm to capitalize on opportunities to accelerate our growth.

 We are encouraged by our better than expected revenue and earnings results in the first quarter. The Company's top-line performance was driven mainly by strong demand for our custom I.V. Systems and by our critical care product lines. Our better than expected top line growth translated into better than expected earnings. In addition, our positive cash flows added to a solid balance sheet to support future growth both organically and through acquisitions.

 These fleet additions will help to provide steady revenue, strong cash flows and profitability for the next several years in this area of our business. Overall, the momentum we experienced during 2005 is being carried forward in 2006 into all of our North American businesses. Demand drivers are positive, order levels remain strong and we are excited about the opportunities presented by this upbeat market environment.

 Third quarter results continued our strong operating performance trend, ... New orders exceeded $540 million in the quarter, despite Joy Mining experiencing a $62 million decline in roof support orders from the same quarter last year. Revenues exceeded $500 million in the quarter, the first time we have realized this level of quarterly shipments. Both underground and surface mining businesses continue to deal with significant supply chain constraints, reflected by a number of shipments that were pushed into the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, the ratio of incremental operating profits to incremental sales was 31 percent in the quarter, well above our long-term goal of 20-25 percent and represents a very solid performance in light of the greater mix of original equipment revenues and continuing increases in steel and steel- related costs. Conditions in our end markets continue to point to an extended, strong global mining cycle. We face the challenge of increasing capacity to meet demand, while managing a tight supply chain. Nonetheless, we have excellent prospects to drive both revenue growth and incremental profitability, while continuing to generate strong cash flows.

 It was a run-of -the-mill business decision by the equipment people at TCI. The market has taken that to believe that there is a capital problem. At TCI, cash flows are growing. They will report third-quarter earnings soon, with cash flows up.

 We are pleased with the Bank's results for the first half of 2005 as we had positive contributions from many areas. Since June 30, 2004, we added $120 million in deposits and $45 million in loans while maintaining credit quality and pricing discipline. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net income continued to reflect good organic growth and benefited from a general increase in interest rates. In the first quarter of 2005, the bank raised its per-share dividend 5.89% from $17 per-share to $18 per share. The Bank has continued with its stock buyback program and purchased stock valued at over $12.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

 Interactive Data posted excellent 2005 financial results. In 2005, we surpassed the $500 million milestone in annual service revenue, an achievement that reflects the organic expansion of each core business as well as the contributions from our acquisitions.

 Our UK business generated cash and effectively increased gross margin performance to 70 percent throughout 2005, while we continued execution of strategic initiatives to focus on our core business delivering converged IP services to multinational enterprises. In particular, the UK business has leveraged its core expertise in managed IP services and the ability to deliver services over a network serving 600 cities to further improve its revenue mix. Enterprise customers now account for 92 percent of revenues.

 As a result of our strong cash flow and continued efforts to strengthen our balance sheet we improved our year-over-year debt, net of cash position by $300 million despite having repurchased $31.8 million of common stock year to date,

 In follow-up to our announcement in late November, we've been working diligently to restructure the secured notes under terms that we believe are beneficial to our stockholders. This restructuring, which relieves the Company of approximately $3.4 million of amortization and debt service costs and $500,000 of interest expense per quarter, is a major step towards our goal of generating consistent profitability and positive cash flows.

 2005 was a significant growth year for XM in which we added more than 2.7 million net subscribers. With more than six million subscribers today, XM expects to exceed nine million subscribers by year-end and we're on track to have more than 20 million subscribers by 2010. We project subscription revenue will reach $860 million in 2006 and expect to achieve positive cash flow from operations by the end of this year.

 The question about Dell is whether this is a commodity business. But this is a company with little debt, tremendous cash flows and a great reputation.

 Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness.

 The steps we took this past year strengthened our financial position. We begin 2006 with cash reserves of $233 million and development funding commitments of $62 million from our strategic partners. We expect 2006 revenues to improve to between $55 and $65 million and, with the sale of BPSAG and the cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2005, we expect our operating cash consumption to decline from $83 million in 2005 to between $50 and $65 million in 2006.
