I am encouraged by the solid momentum in our earnings and the financial and creative strengths that underpin these results.

Overall I am pleased with our fourth-quarter results. Our revenue and earnings results were solid and we continued to capture market share in the markets we serve. Our complete supply chain management offering is gaining momentum and I look forward to building on our successes in 2006.

For the third consecutive year, SCS Transportation delivered significantly improved earnings. Revenue surpassed $1 billion in 2005 and we achieved record results in earnings per share, even excluding a large real estate gain. We further strengthened our financial position, providing flexibility to take advantage of future opportunities. As we enter 2006, we are also encouraged by the strength of our consolidated fourth-quarter trends.

We are pleased with the financial performance and operational improvements that are demonstrated by our first quarter financial results, ... Our eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit sequential revenue growth and net earnings in the quarter of $2.8 million reflect a continuation of the momentum that was generated last fiscal year and put the company on pace to achieving our annual guidance.

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.

Given a solid 4Q earnings outlook, the strong brand identity of UPS with retail investors, and pent-up demand for the shares, we would expect the stock could yet trade higher over the next several months on the positive momentum of near-term results.

While the gain was included in operating results, it was clearly stated up front in the earnings press release, and management encouraged analysts to remove it from their earnings models.

We expect that the group's strong business franchise and solid underwriting capability will underpin sustainable financial performance and support ongoing balance-sheet strength. Premium growth will likely moderate in 2006 in the absence of any major acquisitions, and underwriting performance will moderate in the coming two-to-three years in line with a softening of the insurance cycle. Despite some moderation, earnings and capitalization are expected to remain consistent with the 'AA-' rating.

There had been expectations of solid corporate earnings before the earnings results season began, and indeed, they are proving to have been right.

While I'm disappointed with our earnings results in the fourth quarter, I'm very pleased with the strength of our revenue performance throughout 2005 and the solid growth momentum that we carry into the current year. As we move into 2006, we are focused on several key priorities: maintaining sales momentum in sandwich crackers and salty snacks, implementing revenue management strategies targeted at enhancing profit margins, integrating the Tom's acquisition and executing on our supply chain restructuring plan.

While we are encouraged by the sales results during this difficult economic climate, they were below our expectations, ... ... However, we remain strongly committed to our long-term strategy and believe this will continue to produce excellent financial results over time.

Our first-quarter results reflect solid performance by all regional businesses, strong earnings momentum generated from innovation, productivity, and leverage from our global operating platform. These results reflect the 19th consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales improvement and each of our four regional businesses delivered higher operating income during the quarter.

We are pleased with first quarter box office results which benefited from solid holiday carry-over and new releases. We continue to be optimistic about the spring and summer film slate and are encouraged by early results thus far in the quarter.

[IBM itself is very positive about the recent quarter.] We achieved good earnings results despite a number of challenges, ... We have been able to deliver consistent financial results because of the breadth and diversity of our overall business portfolio, which is unmatched in our industry.

I am very proud of the progress the Company has made both operationally and financially over the last several years. We began 2006 with positive momentum and very solid results. We continue to make excellent progress in strengthening our capital structure, paying off debt, growing earnings and most importantly, growing cash flow.
