The Security business had record revenues of $36.4 million and achieved profitability. We have received increased Cargo orders bringing the total Cargo backlog to approximately $43 million at the end of the third quarter. We also successfully launched our first product in the Automated Hold Baggage Screening market, the Rapiscan MVXR5000. We are committed to this market, as evidenced by the continuing development of our revolutionary solid state CT system that we call the RTT for Real Time Tomography.  In the third quarter we announced an order for the RTT from the Manchester Airport Group for approximately $7 million with a customer option that if fully exercised, would bring the total contract value to approximately $40 million. We expect to see continued growth for the Security business into fiscal 2007 in all product lines; Conventional, Automated Hold Baggage Screening and Cargo.   

    Mr. Chopra continued, In our Healthcare business we continued to see strong performance in our core products, monitoring and anaesthesia. For the first nine months of fiscal 2006 monitoring orders were up 18% globally with the strongest performance coming from the U.S., our largest market. We continue to capture our replacement cycle business in addition to gaining market share from our competitors. We expect to see continued organic growth for the business supplemented by acquisitions of complementary products and technologies. We remain on track to launch the anaesthesia product in the U.S. market in fiscal 2007.

    Mr. Chopra concluded, Our Opto-Electronics business continues to show strong results, fueled by the strong economy and strength in growing Inter-Company sales to both to our Security and Healthcare businesses.
