We believe that these initiatives, together with improved cash flow from business operations, have enhanced our financial flexibility. We currently have sufficient resources to retire the remaining '06 convertible notes at maturity and based on current forecasts we believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to satisfy the $146 million of 5% convertible notes due March 2007. As previously announced, during the first quarter of 2006 we purchased in the open market $30 million face value of our outstanding $471 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior notes due February 2008.

We'll see what happens when (Martin) comes back.

If these guys keep it up, Charlie Poe might be the one that gets promoted.

Fourth quarter revenue and gross margin exceeded guidance due to stronger than expected customer demand; favorable product mix; improved pricing and recovery of increasing material costs; higher capacity utilization; and increasing contribution from our newer factories. As a result, gross margin rose to 24.2% from 16.4% in the third quarter.

He was going to give a run up eventually. I would rather he do it in a five-run game like today than a one-run game.

I went back and forth with it in my head for a while before I made the decision.

Our pitching was outstanding this series and I really thought our bullpen was good.

Our goal is for 2006 SG&A expenses to be $25 to $30 million lower than in 2005.

I thought he pitched well, picking up right where he left off last season. He deserved a better fate than what he got today.

We are where we are because of them. Unfortunately at the end of the game they got some runs on us.

You gotta (manufacture runs) sometimes. Sometimes you are gonna be a little lethargic.

During the fourth quarter we completed a series of financing initiatives designed to improve our liquidity. We completed a NT$1.8 billion (approximately $54 million) 5-year secured term loan with a group of Taiwanese lenders, and we replaced our $30 million secured revolving credit facility with a new $100 million senior secured revolver that is available through November 2009. In addition our chairman, James Kim, and members of his family, subscribed to an offering of $100 million of 6.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2013, the proceeds of which were used to repurchase $100 million of 5.75% convertible notes due June 1, 2006.

As we seek to increase profitability, we are undertaking a comprehensive program designed to streamline our corporate-wide support organization and reduce SG&A costs. Fourth-quarter SG&A expenses included a charge of $3.3 million associated with employee reduction and separation expenses, which we expect to yield annualized savings of around $8 million. We intend to continue this process during 2006 with the goal of not only reducing costs, but also improving operational effectiveness.

It's all a mental thing. It's all a grind, and these guys have to handle that professionally and they did that tonight.

That has been part of his development, that's why he's back at this level. Last year he kind of pitched away from contact but he did a better job tonight.

It's huge. To get a chance to get to the playoffs, obviously it helps to win series, and we've done that so far.

It was nice to see (Cheng) go out and compete today without his best stuff.

It was nothing. I just think both teams are tired.

They made a good play. They executed well, but I thought our guys played well today, also. They just made the play in the end.

Once runners got on, he started pitching away from contact. I told him, 'When you get the lead, let the batters put the ball in play.' Unfortunate for him, he lost the decision because of that, but he learned from it.

I can't understand how his record is how it is. It seemed like every one of his pitches had movement on it.

The college-aged players are a little bit more mature and have the opportunity to move a little bit more quickly through this organization.
