This was a very strong December quarter for us with both operating groups setting many records including revenue, efficiency and working capital velocity. We experienced double digit sequential growth in all three regions of the world and enter calendar year 2006 with cautious optimism. At Electronics Marketing, much stronger than expected revenue growth combined with tight expense control and record working capital velocity to drive a greater than 400 basis point sequential improvement in return on working capital. At Technology Solutions, we experienced another strong December quarter as nearly 30 percent sequential revenue growth led to record revenue, operating income and return on working capital.

A good solution provider spells out the costs and benefits for a project implementation before work begins and stays focused on helping a client achieve those business results. Any price for technology is too expensive if you don't understand and can identify the business benefits you'll get from its implementation. A good solution provider can talk ROI, cycle times, defect rates and unit costs in ways that small business decision makers can relate to.

Small business managers recognize that stand-alone systems inhibit productivity. A company may need to integrate its Web site with its accounting program, for instance, but implementation is daunting without the expertise. It's hard to add staff to solve the problem because the talent isn't out there at an affordable price. Having permanent onsite IT staff may not be the best option, anyway. Independent technology consultants are readily available, trained to evaluate and implement solutions that minimize disruption, reduce system fragility, and deliver systems that streamline operations and improve productivity.

Electronics today is a series of struggles. It's satellite versus the iPod, satellite versus high-definition radio. That's why it's critical for satellite radio to get a foothold in the next three to five years. If it doesn't, some other technology will render it obsolete.
