Thank you. Good morning everyone, and welcome to Drew Industries 2008 fourth quarter and year-end conference call. I'm Ryan McGrath of Lambert, Edwards, Drew's Investor Relations firm. And I have with me today members of Drew's management team, including Leigh Abrams, Chairman of the Board of Drew; Fred Zinn, President and CEO and a Director of Drew; Jason Lippert, President and CEO of Lippert Components and Kinro and a Director of Drew; and Joe Giordano, CFO and Treasurer of Drew.
I want to take a few minutes to discuss our quarterly and year-end results. However, before we do so, it's my responsibility to inform you that certain statements made in today's conference call regarding Drew Industries and its operations may be considered forward-looking statements under the securities laws.
As a result I must caution you that there are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the company's control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially than those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors are identified in our press releases in our Form 10-K for the year ended 2007 and in our subsequent Form 10-Q all filed with the SEC.
With that, I would like to turn the call over to Leigh Abrams. Leigh?
