Good day ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to your Insteel Industries second quarter 2010 conference call. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session, and instructions will be given at that time. (Operator Instructions). And as a reminder, this is being recorded. I'd now like to introduce Mr. H.Woltz. Please go ahead, sir.

H. Woltz

Thank you, good morning and thank you for your interest in Insteel, and welcome to our second quarter 2010 conference call, which will be conducted by Mike Gazmarian, our Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer and me.

Before we begin, let me remind you that some of the comments made in our presentation are considered to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risk factors are described in our periodic filings with the SEC.

I'll now turn it over to Mike to review our second quarter financial results in the macro environment, and then will follow-up to comment more on market conditions, the PC strand trade cases and our business outlook.

Mike Gazmarian

Thank you. H. As we reported earlier this morning, Insteel returned to profitability during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and further strengthened its financial position despite the continuation of challenging business condition. Net earnings for the quarter ended April 3rd, were $1.6 million or $0.09 per share, compared with the net loss of $16.4 million or $0.94 per share for the same period last year.
