The significant increase in ordsprog

The significant increase in sales volume - $60 million - and domains sold on the secondary market in 2005 - more than 16,000 - illustrates how valuable domain names can be and that people are trying to improve their online presence whether for personal or business reasons.

2005 was a significant year for the domain name market, from new top level domains approved and put into circulation to the heightened role of domain parking services to drive quality Web traffic. The significant increase in sales volume - $60 million - and domains sold on the secondary market in 2005 - more than 16,000 - illustrates how valuable domain names can be and that people are trying to improve their online presence whether for personal or business reasons.

The auction and trade of domain names will become more and more popular in China in the future, even Chinese language domain names. In fact, the price for Chinese domain names should be even higher because domain names in Chinese characters are much easier for Chinese people to remember and understand, and therefore, will be much more valuable for those companies wanting to promote their brands in China.

We were undoubtedly pleased when Go Daddy's portfolio surpassed 9 million domain names in July. But we weren't satisfied -- after all, it's 'the Go Daddy way' to keep moving forward. So we redoubled our efforts in order to achieve the 10 million domain name pinnacle faster than it took to grow from 8 to 9 million domains. And once again, the dedicated and relentless efforts of our employees, combined with the loyalty of millions of satisfied customers, were the decisive factors in helping us reach this milestone.

Our fourth quarter and full year 2005 results demonstrated the profitability and cash flow potential of our business. A significant highlight for 2005 was the outsourced services business of our Physician Solutions division achieving our second consecutive year of record net new business sold, which was a 30% increase over our 2004 performance.

As a result, we added significant capacity and fixed costs to meet expected market demand that has not materialized. We now expect sales this year in the range of $600 million to $700 million for this business, with significantly lower sales of optical amplifiers and other photonic components.

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 is a big potential market (for Chinese domain names), maybe valued at more than 10 million yuan (US$1.25 million) this year.

This year has been very strong for the e-commerce industry. Every indicator in this space, from online sales, broadband growth and domain registration is up. It's not surprising that individuals, small businesses and even the bigger brick-and-mortar retailers who didn't have an online presence before now have a Web site.

[Has it been a success though, I ask.] I don't know, ... I don't have another first novel that wasn't pushed electronically to compare it to. But the book itself is doing very well. Looking at other publishers, a good example is Baen Books , who do a lot of multi volume series of books. From experience, they know how much volume 13 should sell based on the sales of boook 12. So when volume 13 comes out, they bundled a CD-Rom with eBook versions of the first 12 books. They also hosted these eBooks online for free. When this happens, the sales of volume 13 were beyond expectation, and volumes 1 through 12 see a bump in sales as well.

Wal-Mart's much slower rate of sales growth in November clearly shows this is a matured global business. As supermarket goods continue to increase as a percentage of sales -- and this includes consumables and perishables sold in big volume at Sam's Club -- we will expect to see a persistently slower rate of top line growth.

There are so many opportunities for growth in China -- it just doesn't stop. Every year, there are more than 30 million TV sets sold, 20 million DVD players sold and 20 million home entertainment centers sold. Even if sales were to slow down in mobile phones, they'll be made up elsewhere.
