The partnership with Fujitsu Siemens Computers signifies another step forward in our strategic goal to remain an industry leader in delivering state-of-the-art storage technology and solutions to our customers worldwide. The two companies have been working collaboratively to deliver the highest quality storage solutions to the entry-level market, and we look forward to many successes over the period of the relationship.

Over the past year, we have invested heavily in research and development to bring new products to market, we've added breadth and depth to our management team, and now, with our new corporate headquarters, we are fully prepared for our next wave of growth.

The year 2005 was a year of investments in our future. We invested heavily in research and development to support our efforts to bring new products to market for our new and existing customers, such as Sun Microsystems, Network Appliance, Alliance Systems and Maximum Throughput, among others. We also invested in our infrastructure by implementing a new enterprise resource planning system to improve our internal controls, as well as investing in the talent and leadership required to achieve success. In 2006, we will focus on executing on the goals we established last year. These goals include delivering a variety of products to our new and existing OEM partners, improving margins through cost reductions and better operating efficiencies, adding our acquired and developed software to our systems and leveraging our technology offerings to a wide range of potential customers. Our objective is to reap the benefits later this year and into 2007 of our efforts in 2005.

We carry on tranquil and mature discussions on specific issues that always come up as part of any partnership on this scale,

Just as the three hands of a clock are seamlessly working together to provide man with accurate time,so also in life progress will be alien to us when we conspire never to partner together.

The only thing really the partnership has been involved with is the parking.
