We delivered better than expected results for the fourth quarter. Our balance sheet remains one of the strongest in the industry with nearly $1 billion in cash and short-term investments and $1.2 billion in shareholder’s equity. In fiscal 2006, we strengthened our market position, although our operating results were impacted by the challenges of a console transition. We ended the fiscal year as the #2 U.S. software publisher overall and had the #1 game on the next-generation Xbox 360 platform, Call of Duty 2™, according to the NPD Group.” Kotick added, “Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our assets -- the competitive leadership of our world-class franchises, production capabilities and worldwide distribution resources. Our leadership position will provide us with a competitive advantage in our continued efforts to provide superior returns to our shareholders. We are planning for and investing in the market growth that historically follows the introduction of new console hardware. We remain focused on expanding operating margins by growing our balanced franchise portfolio, delivering compelling game experiences, increasing our international market position and improving operational efficiency worldwide.”
