Good morning and welcome to our second quarter 2012 conference call. We are pleased to report another good quarter with a 15% increase in net sales. As we will review below, you’ll note that the company’s operating expenses are more in line with historic growth rates, however our gross profit margin declined in the second quarter and we are working to stabilize the margin going forward. I’ll start with net sales. The company reported recorded net sales in the second quarter of 2012 of $280.3 million, a 15% increase compared with net sales of $243 million in the second quarter of 2011. Record net sales of $571 million for the first six months of 2012, a 16% increase compared to with net sales of $493.9 million in the first six months of 2011. We reported operating income in the second quarter of $57.5 million, an 8% increase compared with operating income of $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating income of $123 million for the first six months of 2012, a 9% increase compared with net sales of $113.3 million in the first six months of 2011. We reported second quarter 2012 net income of $40.8 million, a 6% increase compared with net income of $38.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net income of $87.1 million for the first six months of 2012 an 8% increase compared with net income of $80.8 million in the first six months of 2011. We also reported second quarter 2012 earnings per diluted share of $0.28 compared with $0.27 per share in the second quarter of 2011. Earnings per diluted share of $0.60 for the first six months of 2012 compared with earnings per diluted share of $0.56 for the first six months of 2011. Next we’ll look at automotive…

Update on Gentex SmartBeam and driver-assist camera products. Currently Gentex’ SmartBeam products are predominantly solid in Europe. Given the fact and based on the IHS June 2012 forecast for light vehicle production, we now expect that SmartBeam unit shipments will increase by approximately 20% to 25% in the calendar year 2012 compared with the calendar year 2011. This downward revision to our previous 2012 SmartBeam guidance is primarily due to lower take rates and packaging changes at certain European customers and declined in European light vehicle production on vehicle models that offer SmartBeam. We do not believe that this is a long-term trend and there continues to be significant interest in our SmartBeam product globally. We also recently began shipping auto-dimming mirrors with a new camera-based driver-assist systems for the 2013 Ford Explorer. This new Gentex driver-assist system uses a multifunction camera combined with algorithm and decision making to perform automatic high beam control, lane keeping and driver alert functions. The system was developed in conjunction with Mobileye, the global pioneer in the development and vision based driver assistant systems. This program was the first of a number of driver-assist awards that the company expects to announce this year. On June 25, 2012 American Vehicular Sciences filed four patent infringement complaints in the Eastern district of Texas each of which named Gentex and at least one or two of its customers as codefendant. The company has not yet been served with the complaint but we are currently evaluating the allegations of infringement and two of the four complaints AVS alleges that Gentex’ SmartBeam product infringes one patent owned by AVS. And the other two complaints AVS alleges that Gentex monitoring system products infringe two other patents owned by AVS. The company is uncertain of what impact if any the above…

Actually it was coming back to me. Okay, I’ll give you our net sales estimates for the third quarter of 2012. We currently estimate that net sales for the third quarter of 2012 is an increase of approximately zero to 5% compared with the same quarter in 2011 based on IHS’ June 2012 forecast for light vehicle production. We continue to experience increasing volatility with customer orders within the 12 week customer release window with some of our customers including the tier-one mirror suppliers revising orders at the last minute. I’ll give the production numbers and forecasts from IHF, these are based on IHF’ June light vehicle production forecast. For the third quarter of 2012 in North America, IHF forecasts that light vehicle production will be 3.4 million vehicles which is an increase of 8% compared with the 3.2 million vehicles shipped in third quarter of 2011. European light vehicle production of 4.2 million vehicles which is down 8% compared with 4.5 million in the same quarter last year. Japan and Korea, 3.5 million vehicles which is up 4% compared with 20.3 million vehicles last year’s third quarter. For calendar year 2012, IHS forecast in North American light vehicle production would be 14.9 million units which is up 13% compared with 13.1 million units last year. European light vehicle production 18.9 million vehicles, which is down 6% compared to 20.2 million vehicles. And Japan and Korea 14.1 million vehicles which is up 12% compared with 12.5 million vehicles. As a reminder, all listeners should note that this call is being recorded by Gentex Corporation.

Operator (Jessica), we’re ready to open this one to Q&A.

Thank you. The question and answer session will be conducted electronically. (Operator Instructions). And we’ll first go to David Leiker from Robert W. Baird. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: I want to focus on the comment here the disclosure on the RCD contract 2013 and 2014. Put it in a context of – we’re seeing in particularly across Toyota where your mirror – RCD mirrors in the vehicle upgraded infotainment, it’s in the center console and then there is still an option to put it in the mirror. Can you put any color on whether that potential opportunity exists for these four customers in 2013 and 2014?

Yes, there certainly is that potential as most of the automakers are utilizing a multi-pronged approach but more recently we have been notified by some of these customers of their intent to move to the radio display at a future day. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Yes, I guess I am asking specifically on those that you’ve announced today are moving to radio display, do you also have a contract to provide an upsell option to put the display in the mirror?

Our products the Rear Camera Display has generally always been sold as an option and that practice continues as we’ve always stated that – we’ve always competed with this product against other display options and the instrument panel and the console that continues here. And the Rear Camera Display mirror does continue as an option in many cases.

David, the radio display is the primary location that they’ve chosen but they could upgrade to a mirror. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: I understand. What I am trying to understand is on those four of that you’ve announced today, do you have a contract where your product will be available as an option, as an upsell to the primary display being in the radio?

On some of them, I mean it’s not – I mean we can’t say across the board with these but there are situation where did you could get it in the mirror. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: And then is there are any indication on what the expected take rate is going to be on those vehicles when that primary display becomes a console as opposed to the mirror?

We have not the estimates [ph].

We don’t know at this time. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay. I’ll circle back. Thanks.

Thank you.

Our next question comes from Ryan Brinkman from JP Morgan. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my question.

Good morning.

Good morning. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: On the margin compression front, are the higher customer price downs focused predominantly in one region which is Europe or they more widespread and is the margin compression more a function of price downs on existing products or the less quickly increasingly mix of value added additional products like SmartBeam or RCDs?

Okay. So if you think of the two negative factors I discussed it was the annual customer price reductions as well as product mix. Generally overall within all regions we’re seeing a trend of increased pricing pressure albeit it’s still within the 2% to 4% range that we’ve discussed. So it is trending towards the higher end of that. So it’s not really isolated to a specific region or a specific customer overall. Now with respect to the product mix impact and those two negative factors equally contributed in the quarter on a sequential basis add. We’ve talked before that our gross profit margin don’t differ that significantly within interior mirrors, however there is generally some variation within with respect to interior mirrors. Now we’ve also talked about with respect to exterior mirror auto-dimming mirrors that their margins are a little bit higher than interior mirrors because the electronics are in the interior mirror. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: Okay. And do you want to update us on how you think about share repurchases given the stock reaction today?

Well I think that it’s certainly something that our Board and the company continues to evaluate, part of the Board’s evaluation are looking at overall business and economic conditions as well as volatility in the market and obviously as we mentioned in the last several months, the Board has spent more time evaluating repurchase program and with the more recent pullback in our share price today, they will continue to evaluate that. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: Okay, thanks. I’ll hop back in the queue.

Our next question comes from Steve Dyer from Craig-Hallum. Steve Dyer – Craig-Hallum Capital Group: Thank you. I am wondering if you could kind of breakout in terms of the gross margin and a couple of 100 basis points lower than sort of your historical average. So the price down seemed to be on a high end. How much of a factor is the excess capacity you guys have added in the lower gross margin?

Well there is a lot of moving parts within the margin line as we’ve talked and some of the other factors aren’t significant in enough itself on a single item but other negative factors did impact the margin on a sequential basis where with a little bit lower revenues, we did not leverage our fixed overhead costs. There were some production line moves that created some production and efficiencies. So those were not significant in enough themselves. Specific to your question on planned capacity, we’ve talked about the four expansion projects. Two of which are pretty much completed in the second quarter or the end of the second quarter but on a planned capacity side of things it was right around one to two-tenths [ph] if that affect our margins. Steve Dyer – Craig-Hallum Capital Group: Okay. And then going back to the loss RCD business, are you able to quantify that? I am assuming you know the customers and what they represent this year, what are your estimate that the dollar loss to be next year?

Well provide the updated guidance in our fourth quarter call with respect to 2013. We haven’t provided any details with respect to next calendar year yet. Steve Dyer – Craig-Hallum Capital Group: Okay. And then just kind of updated thoughts on adding capacity in light of losing some of this additional business?

Well I think as we previously discussed facility or plant capacity have added on a step function basis and so the four existing expansion projects have not reflected any anticipated volumes with respect to KTSA, so they are based on program awards and work that we are conducting at this point in time. So four expansion projects are moving along as I mentioned, two of them are completed as of the end of the second quarter, one of them is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter with the final one by the end of calendar year 2012. We’ve talked about some land infrastructure work that’s being performed in some property that we have, but we have not made any decision to proceed with a facility on that property at this point in time. Steve Dyer – Craig-Hallum Capital Group: Thank you.

And we’ll now go to John Murphy from Bank of America. John Murphy – Bank of America: Good morning guys.

Good morning.

Good morning. John Murphy – Bank of America: Just wanted to catch up on these four OEMs. I mean is there any way that you guys could tell us who these companies are? I’m just trying to understand whether the mass market guys, the luxury companies, I am not sure they would really be too concerned with you announcing that they are making this kind of a switch so I am not sure why you couldn’t name them?

Yes, two of the four are North American automakers and we’re not allowed to specifically name. So two are North American automakers and two are overseas customers. And you can probably look at the listing and make some assumptions. John Murphy – Bank of America: Okay. So if we were to think about these four, forget about sort of prospective 2013 but to think about the base year of 2012. As these four automakers move out of the base and are usually – are almost largely not using any RCDs from you, would that create a very significant or material decline from your shipments for RCDs for calendar year 2012?

There would be declines on a year-over-year basis but you have to also keep in mind that we are taking up some other business albeit that may not be to the same degree, some of these vehicle models are rolling off. And some of this is going to be somewhat dependent on the KTSA final ruling and mix of vehicle production on the vehicle models that we do have. John Murphy – Bank of America: Got you. And then just on SmartBeam, it sounds like you guys had a big change in your view there and it sounded like the bulk of the change from up 40 to 45 to up 20 to 25 was more function of a mix in take rates as opposed to any changes in volume because I don’t think IHS’ changed their outlook for volume expectations this year all that much in Europe where this is predominant. I am just curious what was going on there? I mean is there other competitors or competitive products that are being put in place or is it’s just a change literally in model level mixes?

What we’ve seen to-date in this is the contributors as we stated since the majority of our customers are in Europe is due to European production down. The changes in mix are not necessarily a loss to other technologies and we don’t see this as a trend because as we said it earlier in the call with our year ending expense increase primarily due to development of new products and program awards, we continue to see strong development with this product. John Murphy – Bank of America: But if we look at the IHS schedules from the May release to the June release, I mean they are still down about 6% give or take, it wasn’t a real material shift. There must have been something with model level mixes or just take rates, I mean I am just trying to understand what exactly you think is going on there?

That is what we had stated earlier in the call is yes, within models and product mix, we do see changes. That’s been common for us particularly in our history and SmartBeam product launches primarily because it’s with our European customer base and if you go and try to purchase a BMW in Germany, the way options are applied is more all apart than in the United States you buy different features and package them together. And whenever we launch new product awards as we are with the SmartBeam product, we have always found that there is a settling phase between what was originally forecasted with the launch of the program and actual take rates in this. We are seeing adjustments like that as part of this issue here. John Murphy – Bank of America: Got you. And then just lastly on the AVS case, I mean you guys are great at patent litigation in protecting your patents and you know the stuff inside out. It is just really more of a nuisance and sort of noise around the edges, I mean it seems like that’s the way things has been in past with patent litigation because you’re so good at it, I am just curious what your thoughts generally are on this?

Right now we’re still very early because we haven’t been served in the evaluation process, so we’re going through the diligence right now. We take all of these obviously seriously but this is not a company that manufacturers products. And so we’re still evaluating at this point. John Murphy – Bank of America: Okay, great. Thank you very much.

We’ll now go to Rich Kwas from Wells Fargo. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Hi good morning.

Good morning Rich.

Good morning. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Just following up on John’s question with the patent. Your understanding is on the second generation SmartBeam because I would think that – with SmartBeam being out for number of years at this point, the first gen, you would have heard about this earlier but is this related to second gen or what do you know if you know anything right now?

No, not at this point. We don’t have specific knowledge and we’re still early as I said and confirming what all this applies to in the diligence and the research. So we don’t have information that indicates that. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Okay. And then Steve, just following up on earlier question on capacity, so is it the volume on RCD, it’s not going to affect your capacity expansion plans and you have business on the books or contract on the books to fill this out of capacity, is that correct?

Yes, that is correct. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Okay. And then on the margin – for gross margin, so the thing that I am struggling with is back in April you guided to flat sequentially and you said customer price downs are worse than or the higher end of what you originally thought but what else was (inaudible) because you had production, you got some lift from the Japanese, while you noted that there has been some volatility within overall production schedules. It just seems like the miss on the margin side has something, there is something else going on there. I don’t know if you could provide any additional color?

Sure. I mean the new item obviously touched on the area of customer price reductions with the increased pressures so that’s an additional headwind that contributed to the sequential decline. The product mix variability also negatively impacted the margins and some other less significant factors as I mentioned related to some production efficiencies within the quarter when we had some production line move and so there is less efficiency within the production area within the quarter. And so when we’re discussing – when we’re looking guidance with respect to Q3, part of that margin improvement is the anticipated production efficiencies we’re expecting. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Okay. And then so you’re assuming price downs are going to be pretty consistent at the high end of the range going forward?

Yes. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: And then product mix is going to be uneven?

That’s variability that I mean we have a forecast at the beginning of a quarter but that obviously can change as we progress through any given reporting period. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: All right. And then just lastly on the product mix front with the (inaudible) going over Board here with the questions but just on the German OEMs, RLE [ph] was out a few days ago saying they are really not seeing much change with the German OEMs and they are seeing good visibility, early stage [ph] of visibility right now. So on the product mix, this sounds like it relative rather than it’s just platform changes, there is substantial changes within the platform production that this is more take rate associated or take rate issue with some of your products.

Well a mix of products that are being built by any given customer within a vehicle model. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Right, so the trim levels are varying versus that?

Yes, right. Rich Kwas – Wells Fargo: Okay, all right. Thanks so much.

Thanks.

And we’ll now move to Jason Rogers from Great Lakes Review. Jason Rogers – Great Lakes Review: Just looking at RCD as far as the customers that use the console as the primary display location versus a mirror. Is it generally cheaper for those customers to have the camera inside the console versus the mirror?

As we’ve stated earlier in the call, the potential for the radio now to include a display that will show the camera image and the instrument panel particularly due to the volume potential of a radio in a vehicle versus our option of a Rear Camera Display in the mirror, it is as we stated a lower cost option for the automaker. If the feature is going to be mandated particularly as KTSA indicates. Jason Rogers – Great Lakes Review: And are you seeing more – with your customers seeing more entry level trends using the console as a primary display location?

I don’t believe we can state that we’re seeing that as a trend. With the potential indication of what Kids Transportation Safety Act provided originally where this would be a mandated feature, anytime those types of things occur, it invites a greater evaluation and increased competition and as we succeeded with the Rear Camera Display mirror product based on quality and technology as an option product and we’ve had good success in growing it, with it becoming a mandated feature, automakers it has to be on every vehicle, we’ll evaluate as many options as possible. And you do face cost pressures and technologies like this. Jason Rogers – Great Lakes Review: Okay. And then finally just to understand the SmartBeam guidance. Is it more a function of the lower take rates versus the option package changes, I mean this is in case where SmartBeams being removed from the different option packages that the automakers in Europe, correct?

This is more – from what we’re seeing right now it’s difference in option packages as they are being applied. No, we’re not seeing a trend to remove SmartBeam from these vehicles on any of our European customers. Jason Rogers – Great Lakes Review: Okay, thanks.

And we’ll now go to Adam Brooks from Sidoti. Adam Brooks – Sidoti & Company: Good morning, just a few quick things, one on SmartBeam guidance. Can you give us a sense first half of the year versus second half? I am guessing second half of the year growth slows down?

Well the first quarter was strong. We started seeing some of these trend changes as Mark mentioned with respect to take rates and packaging here as we progressed through the second quarter and as reflected in the balance of the year as well. Adam Brooks – Sidoti & Company: Okay. And then could we talk a little bit about driver-assist maybe any traction or gaining with new OEMs or even with four just maybe any update there as far as new announcements come out over the next few months?

We do anticipate as we said earlier, more announcements come and get this year on that product. It has been in the engineering area where I work, significant area of development for us and we have strong activity, we look forward to those announcements later this year and in the future? Adam Brooks – Sidoti & Company: All right, thank you.

Adam we can’t talk about any type of customer approves us [ph], we’re just talking about them. Adam Brooks – Sidoti & Company: Okay, thank you.

Yes.

Our next question comes from Brett Hoselton from KeyBanc. Brett Hoselton – KeyBanc Capital Markets: Good morning guys.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How are you? Brett Hoselton – KeyBanc Capital Markets: Good gentlemen. RCD, I want to make sure I understand what’s taking place here. It sounds like for your 10 customers are making any wholesale shift of all of their platforms towards using some sort of a radio base display and may offer the RCD in the mirror as an option. Is that a correct assessment or is this just a matter of one or two platforms for each of these different customers?

Not wholesale from what we know at this point as we indicated earlier in the call and we’re dealing [ph] so large part of your request was to provide more information on this. We talked about radio display, I believe in the last quarter and increasing as another option for automakers to consider in this. The Rear Camera Display mirrors do continue and they continued to be marketed and sold honestly as we always have. They’ve always been an option versus other displays in the vehicle. With the indication that it was going to be mandated by KTSA even though that has not come to pass, it has increased automaker evaluation and how they would apply standard feature. So we still remain suppliers in this mix. We’re working now just to be more informative to you on where we have been affected based on comments that you’ve been making to us recently. Brett Hoselton – KeyBanc Capital Markets: So not necessarily the wholesale shift but am I correct am I understanding that this is not necessarily just one platform for each of these four customers that it’s at least one maybe more platforms for each customer?

That’s correct.

That’s correct, yes. Brett Hoselton – KeyBanc Capital Markets: And then do you have any incremental RCD contracts which are going to be kicking in, in 2013, 2014 timeframe? My question was during your last earnings call was that everything was on hold that you did not really have any incremental businesses coming online kind on that timeframe. Is that – am I correct in that, is that still the case or is there some additional business which is likely to offset some of this loss businesses you move into 2013, 2014? I am asking about contracts do you have in hand at this point.

Rear Camera Display, the new awards do continue. And the product does continue at other automakers to have new contracts awarded. As far as how that impacts material in 2013, I think we would stay consistent of what Steve just said is that we’re not providing any forecast and guidance yet at this point, is that correct, Steve?

Yes. Brett Hoselton – KeyBanc Capital Markets: Okay, thank you very much.

We’ll now go to Elaine Kwei from Jefferies. Elaine Kwei – Jefferies: Hi, thanks so much for taking my question. I was (inaudible) just going back volatility in order cancellation, is that something you’re seeing more on base auto-dimming mirrors or with the higher RCDs and SmartBeam and what is the operational response and strategy in reaction to those lower orders is the plan to (inaudible) ER&D, SG&A, manufacturing, just any color there would be helpful?

Elaine, we could barely hear what you said for the first half of that so you have to repeat it and speak louder if you can. Elaine Kwei – Jefferies: I am sorry. Is this better?

Much better. Elaine Kwei – Jefferies: Okay, I am sorry, there is a phone issue here. Just so going back to the increased volatility in last minute order cancellations, is that something that’s more on the base auto-dimming mirrors or with the RCD and SmartBeam and then what’s the operational response or strategy you have in plan for lower orders? Is it to just ER&D, SG&A, workforce?

It is not isolated to the specific product. It’s an overall trend that we’re seeing so that certainly increases and provides some challenges for us as we schedule and try and run the manufacturing area in an efficient manner. In enough itself it is not really change in our resources within the ER&D area as those resources are on future product developments and orders that are dropping out at the last minute are really just more volume related on existing programs and platforms. Elaine Kwei – Jefferies: Okay. Great, thanks so much.

We’ll now go to David Leiker from Robert W. Baird. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: A couple of things that have rolled out I want to follow-up on. In your first quarter call I believe you have made the comment that you – it’s been a year since you have to received a new contract for RCD mirrors (inaudible) what I think I just heard is that since that time you’ve been awarded some new contracts.

We have talked about that we had been awarded any new business that we have new business to announce, I mean we a have a number of RCD contracts that we’ll be announcing that had been awarded prior to that. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay, so since the first quarter conference call you’ve been awarded new contracts?

Yes. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay. On the price downs, what we’re seeing here with your price downs going to the high end and what the range has been, is that what you characterize returning to normal type of events after the last three years where things were obviously in disarray or is that something where there is higher demands, greater demands for larger price downs from your customers?

I think it’s a trend back tour. This is a normal historical range. Obviously the pricing pressure has been pretty consistent over a very long period of time. We are just seeing an overall trend of some increases and so I think your first point was a little more accurate. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: And those are contracts that you negotiate that kicked in here in the second quarter or...

Yes, the increased trends started in the second quarter and we expect that to continue. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay. And is it across all other customers or is it just here and there?

I would say it’s more recently than in the recent quarters was hit or miss but it’s becoming more of a consistent trend today which is why it’s become more meaningful. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay. And then in the past you’ve done a great job obviously struggled the last six quarters with all the external things but you historically have done a great job in taking up costs down more than the price downs and that’s been a challenge here I believe. I recall in the first quarter that the reader’s idea went through to take the swap up components and things like that, that those efforts were done and that you could refocus your efforts on cost reduction programs? Have that happened or is there something there that’s not kicking in?

Yes, there is couple of things. One the comment in the first quarter on the engineering redesigns being on the tail end was based on the ER&D expense growth and that we’re starting to see some efficiencies that are gained within that line item as resources can be redirected now that a lot of that activity is completed. With respect to the margin line, we still have very aggressive purchasing cost reduction program that continues to be successful. However, more recently it is being challenged to keep up for the pace of the annual customer price reductions. So we are still very positive about the future of purchasing cost reduction program and our purchasing group continues to work with the objective of offsetting the annual customer price reductions, but with the recent trend that increase currently is not. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: And again bringing that new capacity online should help you with productivity gains and help offset some of those as well?

That is our objective, yes. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay. One last item, you breakout your revenue mixes geographically, but how much of your revenue going over to Europe is priced in euro versus dollars today?

For calendar year 2012 it’s about 8% so it’s not that significant. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Would it be fair to assume that that’s the portion of your revenue that’s sold in the Europe that stays in Europe and the rest is exported?

Yes. Generally speaking, yes. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: And then how much of your SG&A do you think is in euro today?

A good portion of it. I would say maybe half. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: So do you think you’re at the point that a weak euro that your cost come down more than the profits and the revenue that a weak euro might actually be positive for profits?

Okay, yes. David Leiker – Robert W. Baird: Okay, thank you.

We have time for one more question.

And our final question will come from Ryan Brinkman from JP Morgan. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: I was just wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more on what you mean by volatility in near-term orders? Does this primarily relate to Europe and is it an indication that near-term productions schedules of European automakers are maybe tracking significantly worse than expected? Thanks.

It’s not specifically isolated to Europe. We’re seen it in other regions with other customers as well that I think it is due to lot of the uncertainty in overall economic conditions as well as some customers are using it as a safe guard. We believe that some of our customers are over ordering parts at the beginning of each quarter to ensure they are protected in the event there is another issue that causes some form of the part shortage as we’ve been in the environment for a couple of years. And so then they drop these orders out just prior to when they are expecting to ship the product and that’s created some additional volatility and we’re anticipating that this trend might continue here in the near-term. Ryan Brinkman – JP Morgan: I see. Thank you.

Thank you. At this point we’re going to wrap the call up. Thank you everyone for participating. We remain positive about the business that Gentex has. We have a good company and we will work to make it a better company. We will be here if you have additional follow-up questions. Thank you.

This concludes today’s presentation. Thank you for your participation.
