OPERATOR: Good day, everyone, and welcome to today's Vital Signs' fiscal 2006 first-quarter results conference call. Today's call is being recorded as well as simultaneously webcast. At this time for opening or margin introductions I'd like to turn the conference over to the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. William Craig.
WILLIAM CRAIG, CFO, VITAL SIGNS: Good morning and welcome to the first-quarter conference call for Vital Signs. I am William Craig, the CFO of Vital Signs, and here with me today is Terry Wall, our President and CEO, as well as Jay Sturm, our General Counsel, and Rich Feigel, our Controller. Barry Wicker, our COO, is also on the line.
You should have received by now our press release that we just issued for the first quarter ended December 31, 2005. And it's also posted on the Web in various sites. Before getting started let me read our required disclaimer.
All statements in this conference call, including projections for fiscal 2006, other than historical statements, constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from such statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties including unanticipated delays in bringing products to market, market conditions and competitive responses as well as other factors referred to in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.
We have posted a copy of our press release on our website. To access the press release, please go to www.VitalSigns.com and then click on Investor Relations and then press releases. If during this call we allude to any so-called non-GAAP financial measures other than which may appear in the press release, we will post those disclosures to the same location on our website as promptly as we can.
Our format for today -- I will review financial issues, Terry will have some comments on various topics, then we will open it up for questions. Now let's begin.
