We're so thankful. The support of the community both in donations and sales has far exceeded our expectations.

We believe Tom's departure is an indication of deteriorating two-year sales trends and decreasing support within the franchisee community.

The entire community has been supportive of our program and you need that support to win championships. We have built something here, but we can't be satisfied with what we have done in the past. It's just that, the past.

Our retail sales were strong again in March and we exceeded our expectations despite another substantial reduction in daily rental fleet volume. We continue to exceed our year ago retail levels, our share continues to stabilize and our inventories remain lean.

Sales have not necessarily lived up to everyone's expectations since launch.

The results for the half-year exceeded our expectations. We made $12 million of new sales in the region and the outlook for the next half is equally positive.
