I also want to thank our employees and leadership team who have continued to execute with a passionate customer focus in the face of many challenges over the last several years.

I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didn't get a job. I felt if it didn't happen this year, it probably wouldn't.

If it didn't happen, I would have just continued to do what I was doing.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad. This was an ugly, ugly game. The positive is that we continued to hit the ball well, but we didn't play very good defense, and we didn't pitch very well early in the game.

I could sense signs of confidence in training on Friday. We did a professional job and we've continued our winning mentality. I'm very proud with what is an exceptional achievement for everyone at the club.

I am delighted that Harry has agreed to stay for an additional year. His contributions to this company are far from over. We need his continued involvement as a change agent and strategist.

I am very concerned over the continued developments in this story, and the tremendous error in judgment Ray Burton has shown in this regard. In light of these circumstances, the appropriate course of action would be for Ray to resign.

But there are plenty of stops along the supply chain with weaknesses: the start of hurricane season, Iraqi production hanging on by a thread, recent problems in Ecuador, no sign of growth in Russian production and continued speculative interest in being 'long' in this market.

Based on preliminary, un-audited results, we expect that fourth quarter revenues and same-store revenues will be within the range of previously provided guidance. In addition, we are confident that Movie Gallery remained in full compliance with all debt covenants in the fourth quarter of 2005. Looking forward to 2006, with the continued softness in the rental industry, we will soon resume discussions with our lenders regarding further amendments to Movie Gallery's senior credit facility. We continue to believe that our industry is long-term fundamentally sound, and we are looking forward to the introduction of next-generation, high-definition DVDs as a significant catalyst for our business.

I can't even think, if it continued that way, what would have happened. It wouldn't have been very pretty.

But, the best possible outcome came out of this.

I can tell you, in the past five years, we've seen a continued and remarkable decrease in risk management issues, hazing issues and all that stuff continues to decrease year in and year out.

These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.
