Thanks Ruby. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Getty Images conference call to discuss our financial results for the fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2005. Following the call a telephone replay as well as the webcast will be made available. Information on the replay and the webcast is currently available at our website. I want to remind everyone that certain supplemental financial and fiscal information located in the Investors section of Getty Images website. As always some of the statements made on today’s call are forward-looking and are based on our best view of the world and our business as we see it today.
Of course those statements can change due in the environment, which we do business changes, and we ask that you interpret all of our comments in that light. For more information on factors that may affect our feature performance, please review our filings with the SEC, in particular our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form10-Q. We currently do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements until our next quarterly conference call. Joining us today, we have Jonathan Klein, Getty Images and Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer; and Elizabeth Huebner, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. I will now turn the call over to Jonathan.
Jonathan D. Klein, Co Founder, Chief Executive Officer
