Before we get started, let me remind you that:

“Today’s conference call contains forward looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes statements as to estimates, expectations, intentions and predictions of future financial performance. Statements that are not historical facts are forward looking. Participants are directed to Trinity’s Form 10-K and other SEC filings for a description of certain of the business issues and risks, a change in any of which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements.”

At March 31st, our borrowings at the corporate level were the 300 million dollars of senior notes and 3 million dollars of other indebtedness. The Leasing Company’s debt included the 119.8 million dollars of Equipment Trust Certificates and 347.5 million dollars outstanding under our railcar leasing warehouse facility. Our debt to total capital ratio was 38.6 percent, up from the comparable amount of 37 percent at December 31, 2005, principally due to lease fleet expansion.

At March 31st, our cash position was 93.6 million dollars.

Now, here’s Tim Wallace.
