Welcome to Esmark Incorporated’s conference call and webcast covering the first quarter 2008 results. Joining today on the call are Jim Bouchard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Craig Bouchard, Vice Chairman and President; David Lutdak, Executive Vice President, Mill operations; Tom Modrowski, Executive Vice President, Downstream Operations; and Paul Mooney, Executive Vice President and our CFO.
Certain comments made on this morning’s call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. This is a caution that such forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual events or results. Please refer to yesterday’s earnings release and item 1A inside of Risk Factors in our most recently filed Form 10-K as well as other reports and filings with the SEC which identify which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in today’s call represent Esmark Incorporated’s view as of today only, and the company does not assume any obligation to update them.
Also, please note that today’s conference call is open to the public and is being broadcast live both on our website at www.esmark.com as well as on www.investorcalendar.com. It contained time-sensitive information and is being recorded for replay until June 17 by dialing 888-203-1112 or 719-457-0820 and using the passcode 1607524.
Finally, before passing the call over to our Chairman, I want to advise all that again due to ongoing M&A activity, this call will not include a question and answer session following our prepared remarks. We have structured today’s comments to address these topics and their status to the level we can at this particular time, in addition to covering the call’s core purpose which is our first quarter 2008 results.
With that being said, I will now turn the call over to Jim Bouchard.
