Thank you Mihael. Investors will see in our press release that beginning this quarter Vanda is offering non-GAAP financial information. We're doing so because we believe the non-GAAP financial information enhances the overall understanding of our financial performance when considered together with the GAAP figures. On a GAAP basis, during the full year 2014 Vanda recorded net income of $20.2 million as compared to a net loss of $21.1 million for the full year of 2013. On a diluted shares basis this reflects net income of $0.55 per share for the full year 2014 compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.69 for the prior year. Vanda recorded net income of $69.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to a loss of $7.7 million during the same period in 2013. On a diluted shares basis, this reflects net income of $1.77 per share in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.23 for the fourth quarter of 2013. The Vanda fourth quarter and full year 2014 financial statements reflect the impact of the settlement agreement with Novartis announced on December 22, 2014 related to the Fanapt license arbitration proceedings. As part of the settlement which became effective on December 31, 2014 the parties dismissed the arbitration and released each other from any related claims. In addition Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt franchise to Vanda, made a 25 million equity investment in Vanda and granted to Vanda an exclusive worldwide license to AQW051, a Phase II alpha-7 nicotinic receptor agonist. Vanda has recorded a $77.6 million gain on arbitration settlement during the fourth quarter of 2014, a $15.9 million intangible asset related to the U.S. and Canadian Fanapt rights and $3 million of Fanapt inventory were recorded these assets in the period. In addition $59.5 million of Fanapt deferred revenue was released to income, the Fanapt deferred revenue was related to the unamortized portion of the upfront payment received from Novartis in 2009 for U.S. and Canadian commercial rights to Fanapt. Vanda on a non-GAAP net loss basis excludes Fanapt licensing agreement revenue, stock based compensation, intangible asset amortization and the gain on arbitration settlement. On a non-GAAP basis during the full year 2014 Vanda recorded a non-GAAP net loss of $80 million as compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $40.9 million for the full year 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2014 Vanda recorded a non-GAAP net loss of $13.5 million, compared to the non-GAAP net loss of $12.7 million during the same period in 2013. Vanda non-GAAP total revenues include HETLIOZ net product sales, Fanapt net product sales and Fanapt royalty revenue, but exclude Fanapt licensing agreement revenue. Non-GAAP total revenues for the full year 2014 were $19.4 million compared to $7.1 million during the prior year. Non-GAAP total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $7.6 million, compared to $2 million in the same period in 2013. HETLIOZ was launched in the U.S. in April 2014 and net product sales for 2014 were $12.8 million. HETLIOZ’s net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $6 million, compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. Gross to net sales adjustments for HETLIOZ’s product revenues are below 10% for the full year sales. HETLIOZ is sold through the specialty pharmacy channel and in the fourth quarter net product sales are reflective of underlying prescription demand. As of December 31, 2014 the specialty pharmacy channel held less than two weeks of inventory as calculated based on trailing demand. Full year 2014 Fanapt royalty revenue was $6.5 million, as compared to $7.1 million in 2013. Fourth quarter 2014 Fanapt royalty revenue was $1.6 million as compared to $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. During each period Vanda recognized a 10% royalty on Novartis net sales are Fanapt. Fanapt prescriptions as reported by AMS were approximately 40,500 for the fourth quarter of 2014. Vanda non-GAAP operating expenses exclude cost of sales, stock based compensation, intangible asset amortization and gain on settlement. Non-GAAP total operating expenses for the full year 2014 were $98 million compared to $48.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $20.4 million, compared to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Vanda’s cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 totaled $129.8 million. In October 2014 Vanda completed a public common stock offering that resulted in $62.3 million in net proceeds. In December 2014 Vanda sold $25 million of common stock to Novartis as a part of the arbitration settlement. 2015 financial guidance, Vanda expects to achieve the following financial objectives in 2015; combined net product sales from both HETLIOZ and Fanapt of between 95 million and 110 million; HETLIOZ’s net product sales of between $40 million and $45 million and Fanapt net product sales of between $55 million and $65 million; non-GAAP operating expenses excluding cost of sales of between $105 million and $120 million. In addition for reporting periods beginning in 2015 Vanda will no longer record Fanapt licensing agreement revenues and will no longer report the number of HETLIOZ prescriptions written, dispensed or patients on therapy. I will now turn the call back to Mihael.
