Thank you and good afternoon to everyone. We are very pleased with our second quarter results. We were able to build upon the improvements we began to see in the first quarter, generating solid year-over-year growth in sales, orders, margins and earnings. Our sales increase in the second quarter was due to largely to the ongoing recovery of the corporate office market globally. This improve within our corporate office segment is being driven by release of pent-up demand with a focus on office refurbishment, which we believe is resulting from tenant turnover as new tenants look to update their interiors. We also continue to experience a positive sales impact in the investments we made in our in-market diversification strategy as non-office segments such as retail, institutional and hospitality improved compared with last year and emerging markets made a nice sales contribution in the quarter. The revenue growth drove our second quarter gross margin expansion both year-over-year and sequentially and the combination of entry sales enhanced manufacturing efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives led to a significant improvement in operating income. Looking regionally, our Asia Pacific division once again delivered excellent results with sales and profitability up impressively year-over-year. Australia which is now our third largest market was the key driver of strength in the region with continued significant improvements across all segments. China also grew rapidly. As previously discussed, we are building a new carpet tile manufacturing plant in China to capitalize on the opportunities we see in that market. And after a few construction delays, we are on track to begin production at this facility in the fourth quarter. Our Americas moderate business had another solid performance with a third straight quarter of year-over-year sales improvement. The corporate office segment led the game with strengthening demand from financial services sector…

Thank you, good afternoon, everyone, and I’ll take a few minutes to talk to the financial highlights from the second quarter. Sales for the second quarter of 2010 were at $226.6 million, compared with sales of $211.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 7.2%. Currency was essentially neutral year-over-year as the weakness in the euro was offset by strengthening of the few other currencies. As Dan mentioned, our sales performance was driven by the improved demand in the corporate office sector as well as the retail, institutional and hospitality sectors globally. Gross profit margin was 35.4%, compared with 32.7% in the second quarter of 2009, reflecting the benefits of our restructuring initiative that increased absorption of fixed manufacturing cost dealing increased volume. SG&A expense in the second quarter of 2010 increased to $58.7 million from $52.3 million last year, an increase to the percentage of sales to 25.9% compared with 24.7% a year ago. The increase in SG&A reflects ongoing investments in our end-market diversification strategy. Our operating income performance continued to demonstrate the leverage in our business model, on a 7.2% increase in sales. Operating income in the second quarter of 2010 improved by over 27% to $21.5 million, compared with adjusted operating income of 16.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating income in the second quarter of 2009 was adjusted to exclude income of $5.9 million related to patent litigation settlement as well as a $1.9 billion restructuring charge. As a percentage of sales, 2010 second quarter operating income was 9.5% compared with an adjusted 8% in the second quarter of 2009. Including all one-time items, second quarter 2009 operating income was $20.9 million or 9.9% of sales. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 was $8.1 million, compared with $7.7…

(Operator Instructions). Your first question comes from the line of Keith Hughes with SunTrust

Just a couple of questions. The orders were fantastic particularly in Europe. Can you give us any sort of color around that of its financial issues not affecting you, what such, why end user markets are up so much, anything along those ones?

I would say that office market in Europe is particularly Germany and the UK. They are starting to bounce back. Germany from an economic standpoint has done very well and that’s our third biggest market in Europe. And as we go to the UK, the financial services segment there is rebounding significantly and that is not really in the office base in London. So we are getting a rebound pretty much for the corporate office group and then we are winning in France, she was okay too, which is our second biggest market. I would say it is combination of two things, Keith, one is that the office piece is starting to rebound and are non-office strategy is paying dividend as we penetrate government and education and healthcare there. And I think we are also taking share. The market wasn’t at 20% at where we were.

And what were the orders in Asia Pacific and US?

Its part of being up.

Yes, how much will they?

They read and give that out. We just get Europe because we thought people are looking for Europe to make a turn, while its markets were up double-digit.

And final question for Patrick, the corporate expense income, an elimination number a little higher than usual, anything unusual on that?

Nothing in particular, I think it’s fairly level with Q1. I don’t know it’s nothing unusual.

Is there anywhere to model that number little more précising in the future as a metric to use or just kind of bounce around all the time?

Yes, it’s going to bounce around from $1 million to $2-$2.5 million kind of in that range. I’d say this is kind of the high watermark for it.

Your next question comes from the line of David MacGregor with Longbow Research. Please proceed.

I wonder if you could talk about couple of things for me. First of all, raw materials and the pass-through effectiveness in the quarter and the outlook for the second half, and then I guess you talked in past about share gains and I wonder if you could just elaborate maybe a little further on what you're seeing there?

Well, it’s difficult to give a handle on share gains but if you look at the US market, the consensus is the commercial market was actually down 2% in the second quarter.

And our business was obviously up nicely in the US. And when you go to Europe, I think we know that there is not 20% coming out of Europe. And then we had significant growth in Asia Pacific. So that's where the share games come from, just looking at the macro environment and trying to drill it down to our industry.

And within that US, you’re seeing commercial down 2% and you had a pretty good quarter. You talked about end markets, so are there certain product kind of, within the broader scheme of modular tile? Are there certain product years or segments of the market?

Yes, I would say that the biggest difference in the US market for us is that we’re seeing the corporate office piece bounce back pretty strongly and I alluded to on the call that financial services group, there’s a lot of pent-up demand in that group because they didn’t really do a lot during the credit crisis and we are starting to see the banks and the insurance companies and so forth start to invest in their offices again. And then if you go back to the, if you go to technologies segment, we’re positioned very well with the technology players. They’re making a lot of investments in their offices, actually globally. We’re doing a lot of multinational accounts with them. To me the biggest change in the US is the office market continues to gain momentum.

And where within the mix are you seeing the strength, is it more the upper end of the mix, the lower end, the opening price points?

I would say that we are seeing it across the board. We're pretty much the price leader out there, if you’re not talking about a niche player, and we’re seeing it across the board.

Okay. Then finally just, I know from the standpoint of seasonality, this is typically a pretty good quarter for the education market. Did it come through as planned?

Education market was flat for us and I think that’s indicative of what's going on in the funding side of the equation. But I think we did very well on it. It just was flattish for us.

Is there timing issue? Do they figure more prominently in that order build up or is it just, as you say it's kind of a sign of the times on what's happening?

I think it’s a sign of the times in education.

Your next question comes from the line of Eric Glover with Canaccord Adams. Please Proceed.

Just wondering if you can go back to that share gain issue for a second. Is the share gains mainly coming from the shift toward Modular Tile or you think you're actually taking share?

I think we are actually taking share of that space, but there is some of the cycle shift as well.

And then I was wondering if you could talk a bit about how customer's preference, I should say growing preference for green products is influencing their divisions to go within the face products?

I would say that our position of the stand there obviously keeps us in good stead with the advocates that care, and I would say that no more companies care about what’s going on with the environment in their position of sustainability and what’s going on with lead. We are considered the leader in the sustainability movement and I think we are winning business because of that. Every product we introduced at NeoCon had first consumer recycle phase going on it. And so we are doing very well with our story around sustainability and winning business. There is a growing concern about the environment as well. The (inaudible) was our theme with NeoCon. I think that played very well.

Your next question comes from the line of John Baugh with Stifel Nicolaus. Please proceed.

Will we get more education business to shift in the third quarter? Will the schools just be late in letting go some of these budgets or will you be flat or negative in education?

I think we have a chance to really flat up in the third quarter, but you got a good point. There was a lot of lightness in people letting go of the budget, so it's very true. I think we are going to benefit from that in the third quarter. Lot of projects was delayed but some of them came through.

It did. Europe I think has Middle East and other parts that are Western Europe are those boosting this 20% number or is it true Western Europe, it’s also up 20?

It was true Western Europe, it was across the board.

Leave it to the analysts to find something negative in a great quarter. But, the SG&A numbers and you referenced I know in the comments FLOR marketing. What other types of things are you dealing? You mentioned they all relate to diversifying in the segmentation but could you just give more color around it and then some guidance where that percentage falls out over the next few quarters, year or two, whatever?

We've been talking about that thing in the consumer business and we increase that budget over $3 million going into this year or the last year. The European business, we are investing in segmentation and we'd be having a lot of success with that, but obviously the SG&A part is going to be ahead of the sales increase. We are getting sales increase now. And we are also investing in Asia Pacific, and emerging markets has been a big investment for us. And I'd say we held investment down in 2009 pretty well and we are trying to invest in sales people. We're adding sales people in the US and in Asia Pacific, particularly Asia and China, but we tossed out East Asia and China. They reduce the opportunities that we're going to go out there and invest and grow. They were also having a delta of a couple of million dollars a quarter related to we are now paying bonuses. We didn’t pay bonuses last year. So that’s probably not a factor, it is much in the people' models as we impact this year; will be about $10 million increase in SG&A.

But they were achieving bonuses now.

So, Patrick where did all that shake out in terms of where SG&A gets modeled going forward 2010 and to 2011?

I think, well, to me, we need to drive the percentage down. We are making investments the $58 million, $59 million level, and my hope is to keep that $60 million or less and at the top-line growth.

I didn’t fall out of my chair but I certainly scrummed a little when I heard that [demonstrated] was profitable in June, was there some volume jump in June or were there some difference to the cost structure in June and how do we think about?

We’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting in that business. We’ve rationalized the SKU, about 70% of them. We’ve raised prices on products to get the right margins in that business to May, a decision we are going to have the right margins. We're going to manufacture on the west coast and shift those products. And that’s coming through and then we had a pretty good volume come through in June, that’s five-week a month. I’d say that for a manufacturing efficiency standpoint, the team out there has done a great job in getting that model work, you get the sales increase, you get the leverage. And now it’s really about getting the sales increased and moving that business to more to carpet tile.

Is that still a $25 million per quarter, roughly breakeven the situation?

It’s right at $25 million to $26 million, yes. I think we get the $25 million and keep the manufacturing momentum we had in May and June that we're breakeven.

And I know you did a restructuring in Q1 and particularly in Europe, and I assume that contributed to your margin expansion in Europe. But, your sales were flat you mentioned there. Was there something else besides head count reductions that drove that margin?

We ran the plant very well. We’ve right sized that plant now. We’re getting better flow-through out of the manufacturing part of it.

Okay. And I think that’s it. Thank you.

There was one question I didn’t answer, the previous caller and that is raw material. We’ve had raw material price increases and the actual impact is about $10 million negative versus last year and we’ve been able to raise prices to offset that.

And your next question comes from the line of Matt McCall with BB&T Capital Markets. Please proceed. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: I want to continue on that Dan. I think last quarter or I think I remember one of our conversations, we’ve talked about materials availability, raw materials availability with some of the, maybe the residential guys are seeing an improvement in their [deranged] trends. You felt like you saw prices go up, you were well offset that. But is the availability an issue?

Yes it is. Our lead times have been stretched out a little bit because of availability from our supply standpoint. It probably cost us $4 million or $5 million in sales by not having the unavailability but I will tell you it's getting a lot better. We surprised our suppliers in how robust our business has been compared to where they were modeling it this year. So there’s been a bubble that’s been coming through the supply chain that we’ve had to deal with. But we’re getting on top of it and we’re seeing lead times starting to improve. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: And then I think I heard you say that China was delayed a little bit or maybe I misunderstood if you were talking about a Q4 launch. Is it still on track? Are you worried a little bit and then what's the expectation from a volume perspective out of the gate? Thanks a lot.

Well we were gearing up on the plant in September. We talked about third quarter will now open it up probably in late October? So that’s been the delay. It's just been some construction delays in getting the lines put together and operating and commissioning them. As we said a lot of times, we built the volumes and that plant starts up, they can run full shift immediately. We are taking about $500,000 a quarter in fixed costs associated with the start of that plant, so we are going to offset. We talked about a $3 million incremental [linkage] increased but it will expense $2 million to $2.5 million this year in fixed costs associated with our plant. But my expectations are that plant when it starts up, within two quarters we'll be profitable with that plant. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: And then on the growth investments, did you quantify, did you invest more in the quarter? I think you said you invested more on FLOR and you lost money. I think last quarter you made money. Was there investment relative to Q1 and then what was the loss in FLOR?

Yes, there were more investments in the way because all the marketing plans and so forth. We approved the budget in December. It took at least a quarter to get those all executed. We made a little bit of money in the first quarter and we lost about $1 million in the first quarter. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: In second quarter?

Yes. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: And then finally any update on the Bravo relationship?

Well, we're going to launch that, we've signed the deal and we're going to start shipping product in July and August. And we are very positive about the outcome of that about their relationship. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: So no initial stocking orders at this point?

Yes, we actually have one additional stocking order. We haven’t quantified it because its street but we have it, $2 million. Matt McCall - BB&T Capital Markets: It was in Q2?

In Q2, right.

(Operator Instructions) Your next question comes from the line of Glen Wortman with Sidoti & Company Glen Wortman - Sidoti & Company: On the orders, you know very impressive growth there during the second quarter. As we moved into July did things slow down at all?

Actually July looks very, very good. Almost three weeks came out of the gate pretty strong. Glen Wortman - Sidoti & Company: With respect to the raw material cost, looking at 3Q versus 2Q, do you expect your average cost to be higher in the third quarter?

I think it will be comparable to the second quarter. We're fighting some raw material price increases but we got suppliers that are not supplying us and so we are in debate about that.

I hope it will be comparable in the second quarter. Glen Wortman - Sidoti & Company: And then on China, can you just remind us what your long-term sales goals are there for that region?

Well I think that region is going to be one of the largest carpet tile markets in the world and we build a model that said we could grow that business 20% a year compounded.

Your next question comes from the line of Carl Reichardt with Well Fargo Securities.

The multi-national account thing was interesting to me. Did you talked a little bit, let’s say two years ago where you were in terms of penetration with multinational type of accounts? Did that grow in a lot in the last two years and is it incrementally adding sales?

It is growing, companies really started to pay attention to their global footprint. Lot of companies are trying to reduce their global footprint by intensity. And we talk about global accounts and where we can service them around the world. We obviously have a very great service model and the fact we manufacture on four continents and we got around sales people in those market. And we get their attention when start talking about a global contract. And we do very well in that space and we are expanding that all global. We call it global accounts business. We had a very good second quarter in global accounts.

In adding sales to a global account is incrementally less expensive than acquiring a new customer I would assume?

Yes, you are right.

And at this time, I’d like to turn the call back over to management for closing remarks.

Well, thank you to listen to our call and hopefully we’ll have a great third quarter. Thank you.

We thank you for your participation in today’s conference. This does conclude your presentation. You may now disconnect and have a great day.
