Management
Thank you. Good afternoon everyone and thanks for joining us to discuss Preferred Bank preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009. With us today from management are Mr. Li Yu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ed Czajka, Chief Financial Officer. Management will provide a brief summary of the quarter and then we’ll open the call up to your questions. During the course of this conference call statements made by management may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the private securities litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based upon specific assumptions that may or may not prove correct. Forward-looking statements are also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to Preferred Bank’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Preferred Bank. For a detailed description of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to the document the company files with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC. If any of these uncertainties materialize or any of these assumptions prove incorrect, Preferred Bank’s results could differ materially from its expectation as set forth in these statements. Preferred Bank assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. At this time I’d now like to turn the call over to Mr. Li Yu. Mr. Yu?
