Greetings and welcome to the Force Protection second quarter investor conference call. (Operator Instructions) It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. James [Palvinsky] of Integrated Corporate Relations. James [Palvinsky]: Good afternoon everybody thanks for joining us. Before we get started, I’d just like to read the company’s Safe Harbor language. Certain statements in today’s call including without limitation, statements relating to the company’s business expectations for the remainder of 2008, statements relating to the beliefs of management of Force Protection, expectations, or opinions, and all other statements in this conference call other than historical facts are forward-looking statements as such term is defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. The numbers presented for the year ended December 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the three month and six months periods ended June 30, 2008, reflect the numbers included in the company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QA for the first, second and third quarters in 2007, and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2008. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, are subject to change at any time, and may be affected by various factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected or planned results. In addition to the statements discussed above, certain other statements are forward-looking, including, without limitation, our expectations regarding profitability, our ability to address or identify material weaknesses, and the progress made with respect to our internal controls, our expectations for the Cougar, Cheetah and Buffalo and their variants, additional orders for foreign military customers and the opportunity to remanufacture the Cougar fleet. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, that are fully described in our recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With that out of the way, I would now like to turn the call over to Michael Moody, Force Protection’s Chief Executive Officer.
