Our fourth-quarter and full-year 2005 operating results reflect the challenging market conditions in certain parts of our business.

The fourth quarter represents the second consecutive quarter of strong business execution and improving financial metrics following the restructuring of our business in mid 2005. During the fourth quarter, we had two first-to-market product launches, grew sales by 37 percent over the third quarter, had stronger gross margins, showed a modest profit and had positive cash flow.

Despite challenging market conditions, we achieved strong profit growth in the fourth quarter driven by healthy, solid results in our key business units and overseas subsidiaries.

I think when you look at what the company delivered for the fourth quarter, what you saw was significantly worse momentum in the core business than I think people were expecting. It was not a high quality earnings quarter.

The software market remains highly competitive and our fourth quarter results were mixed by geography. We saw double-digit growth in the Americas, where we believe we gained market share in both the fourth quarter and full year. This was partially offset by weaker results in Europe.

Our results in the third quarter reflect the difficult business conditions we face in certain segments.

We're not going to have numbers to write home about in the first quarter, although they will show improvement, ... The first quarter will continue to have some residue from the difficulties of the fourth quarter, but nothing of the magnitude. We're starting to get our arms around it.

These were particularly good results with a strong margin improvement in the fourth quarter, but the market may focus on the very challenging outlook comment for 2006.

Unfortunately, the U.S. economy is showing signs of further slowing, exacerbated by the Sept. 11 attack. We are also beginning to see weakening economic conditions in other countries around the world. In addition, pricing pressures in our health imaging business intensified during the quarter, which combined with operational issues to reduce expected earnings for the quarter.

We made significant strides in turning around the business during 2005. We have succeeded in progressively lowering our fixed costs during 2005 as our selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of revenue declined from 14.5% in the first quarter to 12.1% in the fourth quarter. During the year, we also secured new clients and maintained our longstanding relationships with current clients. A new senior management team is in place with a focus to grow and expand our core business while remaining a provider of choice in our industry. We are encouraged with the progress we have made thus far and we will continue to seek opportunities to improve our results and diversify our revenue base in 2006.

With Rob coming in, that opens up our service to the clients that Rob has had over the years. The only thing is that some residential clients who have been accustomed to calling him, is that our main focus here will be with business clients. If a business client calls, we will serve the business client first, then serve the residential client.
