Welcome to the Deckers Outdoor Corporation first quarter fiscal 2008 earnings conference call. (Operator Instructions) Before we begin, I would also like to remind everyone of the company’s Safe Harbor Statement. Please note that some of the information provided in this call will be forwarded looking statements within the meaning of the securities’ laws. These statements concern Deckers plans, expectations and objectives for future operation. The company cautions you that a number of risks and uncertainties beyond its control could cause Deckers actual results to differ materially from those described in this call. Deckers has explained some of these risks and uncertainties in the risk factor section of its annual report on Form 10-K and on its other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among these risks and the fact that company sales are highly sensitive to consumer preference, to general economic conditions, to the weather and to the choice of the customers to carry and promote its products. Decker intends that all of its forward-looking statements in this call will be protected by the safe harbor provision of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Deckers is not obligated to update its forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of future events. I would now like to turn the conference over to President and Chief Executive Officer Angel Martinez.
