Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the third quarter earnings results conference call. During the presentation, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. Afterwards we will conduct a question-and-answer session. (Operator instructions) I would now like to turn the conference over to Steve Sintros, Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Steve Sintros

Thank you and welcome to the UniFirst Corporation conference call to review our third quarter results for fiscal 2010 and to discuss our expectations going forward. I’m Steven Sintros, UniFirst’s Chief Financial Officer. Joining me is Ronald Croatti, UniFirst’s President and Chief Executive Officer. This call will be on a listen-only mode until we complete our prepared remarks.

Now, before I turn the call over to Ron, I would like to give a brief disclaimer. This conference call may contain forward-looking statements that reflect the company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The words anticipate, optimistic, believe, estimate, expect, intend and similar expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.

Actual future results may differ materially from those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, volatility in employment levels and general economic conditions; the continued availability of credit; the performance of acquisitions; fluctuations in the cost of materials, fuel, and labor; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and environmental matters. I refer you to our discussion of these points in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
