Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the second quarter 2009 Waste Connections earnings conference call. My name is Becky, and I will be your coordinator for today. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will be facilitating a question-and-answer session towards the end of this conference. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to turn the presentation over to your host for today’s call, Ron Mittelstaedt. Please proceed.

Okay. Thank you, operator, and good morning. I would like to welcome everyone to our conference call to discuss the second quarter 2009 results and provide our detailed outlook for the third quarter. I’m joined this morning by Darrell Chambliss, our COO; Worthing Jackman, our CFO and several other members of our senior management team. Steve Bouck, our President is traveling today and he is dialed-in remotely. The second quarter provided three months of solid performance, which is quite a turnaround following two quarters of unprecedented volatility and top line erosion late last year and earlier this year. We were encouraged to see volumes in the quarter slightly ahead, exceed our expectations, pricing remains strong and contribution from our recent acquisitions beat our initial expectations. In looking at the quarter, we exceeded our outlook for both revenue and margin, completed the RSG divestiture transactions, agreed to acquire the largest privately-owned franchise solid waste services provider in Oregon, received IRS approval for a change in landfill depreciation method for our tax books, came through this period of record growth with still the strongest balance sheet in our sector and resumed our stock purchase program late in the quarter following the Russell Index rebalancing. Before we get into a more detailed discussion on these and other topics, let me turn the call over to Worthing for our forward-looking disclaimer and other housekeeping items.

Thank you, Ron, and good morning everyone. We must inform everyone listening that certain matters discussed in this conference call are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the Safe Harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. These risks and uncertainties are set forth in the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders, potential investors and other participants are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this conference call and the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. On the call, we will discuss non-GAAP measures such as operating income before depreciation, amortization and accretion, free cash flow and adjusted earnings. Please refer to our earnings release for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. Management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of our operations. And other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently. As discussed at length, during our February and April conference calls and as highlighted again in our earnings release. We remind investors and listeners of the three changes in GAAP effective this quarter that impact year-to-year comparisons and the presentation of our financials. These changes require us to expense acquisition related costs that previously have been included as an element of purchase price and capitalized as such transactions. To record a non-cash interest expense, equal to the difference between the cash coupon in our convertible notes and the estimated non-convertible borrowing rate back to the time of the issuance of these notes. And finally, to rename minority interest as non-controlling interest, and change the presentation of such interest on our income statement and balance sheet. With that behind us, let me turn the call back over to Ron.

Okay. Thank you, Worthing. We are extremely pleased with our results in the quarter. Revenue was $302.8 million up 13.4% over the prior year period, driven by a 21.8% increase from acquisition activity. Organic growth was a negative 8.4% broken down as follows: a positive 5.1% core price, a negative 2.4% from surcharges, a negative 7.2% volume and a negative 3.9% for recycling, intermodal and other services. Core pricing declined sequentially as expected from 5.8% in Q1 for two reasons. First almost all our price increases are completed in Q1. And second, we comp a higher revenue period in the prior year. However, for the full year, it continues to play out as expected and remains on track to average close to 5%. On a reported basis, core pricing will decline further in the second half of the year, as we comp even higher revenue quarters in the year ago period. Surcharges in selected markets related to changes in certain costs such as fuel, declined 2.4% in Q2, due primarily to lower fuel prices. We averaged about $3.05 per gallon for diesel during the quarter, which was down a $1.30 per gallon or 30% below the prior year period. Volume growth in the quarter was a negative 7.2%. This is slightly better than the negative 7.5% to 8% we had expected in the quarter, driven primarily by nominal, seasonal increases in a handful of markets, rather than broad-based incremental improvements. Roll-off pulls per day in the quarter were down about 17% year-over-year on a same-store basis, a slight deterioration from the 16% decline we experienced in the pervious quarter. In fact, this is the lowest sequential rate of decline we’ve seen in several quarters. Revenue per roll-off pull increased about 3% year-over-year in the quarter, similar to what we saw…

Thank you, Ron. In the second quarter, revenue increased 13.4% to $302.8 million. Operating income before depreciation, amortization and accretion excluding certain items increased 16.7% to $94 million. These excluded items totaled $700,000 and included the following, about $2 million of acquisition related cost primarily related to the Republic Services transaction and note that such RSG costs are now behind us. The $400,000 expense related to the company’s prior corporate office lease and $1.7 million gain on sale of assets that Ron discussed earlier. As a percentage of revenue, operating income before depreciation, amortization and accretion for the quarter was 31%, a 90 basis point increase over the year ago period. Margins exceeded our outlook by 50 basis points, primarily on lower than anticipated labor and fuel costs, along with longer expenses in a variety of smaller line items. The following certain line items that moved in the quarter and notable amount year-over-year as a percentage of revenue. Fuel expense declined 280 basis points to average 6.3% of revenue. We averaged about $3.05 per gallon for diesel during the quarter, which is about a $1.30 per gallon below the prior year period. As a reminder, we have about $4.2 million gallons per quarter this year locked in at around $3.35 per gallon, with the remainder purchased at market prices. SG&A, net of the $2.4 million of excluding items increased 100 basis points, 50 basis points of which was due to increased incentive and equity-based compensation costs, 30 basis points from higher legal expenses and 15 basis points from increased bad debt expenses. The majority of this increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was due to less absorption of fixed related costs from negative organic growth. Auto and workers' comp insurance costs increased 45 basis points. Leachate treatment and…

Okay. Thank you, Worthing. Listeners on this call are well known. It’s hard to find a sector that hasn’t been impacted by a weakened economy, rising unemployment, collapse in construction activity and decreased consumption. We believe, however, the worst of this is now behind us and that things are stabilizing. Relative top line stability, contribution from recently completed acquisitions and tight labor and cost controls have driven strong results through the income statement. This increase in profitability combined with working capital management and capital expenditure controls has produced record free cash flow. Again we’re extremely pleased with our results in the quarter, and the position in which we placed ourselves. A position that will allow us to continue executing our differentiated growth strategy, while returning cash to our shareholders. We appreciate your time today, and I will now turn this call over to the operator to open up the lines for your questions. Operator?

Thank you very much. (Operator Instructions). And your first question comes from the line of Michael Hoffman of WSI. Please proceed. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.:

Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: Okay. And that’s all additive to the free cash flow though in 2010?

Right. Pulling CapEx from ten into nine. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: Right. And then as you think about the extraordinary strength of this cash flow, is there a point where you anticipate or contemplate a dividend or what’s the thought process with regards to the Board in that?

Yeah. Thought process hasn’t changed and that is, we like the flexibility of share repurchase as a way to return cash that likely we did in March of ’08. The ability to turn that off when we see spikes in acquisition activity that exceeds the averages and you combine that flexibility with still remaining uncertainty around the tax code and it still seems prudent at this point in time to keep returning cash through a share repurchase. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: Okay. And then as you gave I think an interesting sort of way to look forward on volumes of tracking second quarter, third quarter, same starts to dip in the fourth quarter, but that would also suggest then as probably a little bit of tail end to 2010. I mean as you sort of think about a message you would want to convey to the street. How should they think about the pattern of volume as you enter 2010?

I think we have been consistent for over a year now. And that is with the look of recovery being more back half of ‘10 and at the earliest because as you recall the sector lags in recovery, number one. Number two, you are still entering or exiting ’09 with negative volume as you go into 2010. And so, it’s likely that the first part of ’10 is negative volumes albeit a lot lower than what's reported this year. And then the question is, do you start seeing those volumes turn flat to positive in the second half of the year or the first half of ’11, really depends on the pace and timing of the economic recovery. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: Okay. And then, a lot of things are going on in Washington at the moment, cash for clunkers, does that lead to extraordinary amount of car shredded and then there is a lot of auto fluff, climate changed, there are some actions with regards to landfill gas and offsets. Can you talk a little bit about any of that in the context of your business model, where the flexion might be if and do you see any possibility of some benefit even if it’s marginal?

Michael, at this point we haven’t seen anything. Although it’s fairly early in many of the plans you just outlined. Certainly if auto sales ramp from the $8 million, $9 million level they are at right now annually to some of the auto experts would tell you that with this program, it will get back to a $14 million to $16 million range annually. That certainly is a reasonable pickup and we should see some benefit in shredder fluff at many of our landfills, which is down quite dramatically in the 40% to 70% range for that waste stream at many of our landfill. So we would see that. We have not really seen any stimulus money hit any 'shovel-ready' projects yet. Once those start, you are still sort of 3 to 9 months away from seeing roll-off activity for those and that’s assuming they are building related, not necessarily just roads and bridges related, but we haven’t seen that. That would be a benefit. So yeah, I mean. As the different monetary and other programs that are being implemented, gain some traction there should be an improvement to volumes. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: All right.

But we’re not going to project that yet. Michael E. Hoffman – Wunderlich Securities, Inc.: Okay. Well, again congratulations. Job well done.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

And your next question comes from the line of Hamzah Mazari of Credit Suisse. Please proceed. Hamzah Mazari – Credit Suisse: Good morning. Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning. Hamzah Mazari – Credit Suisse: Just a couple of questions. The first question is could you remind us again the EBITDA you expect to generate off of the Republic assets. What the timing of that is for you to get there. What buckets are your synergies coming from the integration of those assets? How much progress you’ve made so far? Where you are in that process? Since the transactions now closed and, so far we just know the EBITDA number that you expect to generate, but there is a very little details surrounding integration of that.

Yes. Hamzah, this is Ron. To say, the Republic acquisitions, we said that our first year expected EBITDA on those was approximately $56 million in EBITDA. There really is no integration or synergies to get to that number, because there was really no markets except for Denver, where there was any material overlap. And the synergies in the Denver market was just $1 million and $1.5 million and that was in that $56 million and that has been completed. Now what we said on the RSG asset is that we think as the economy recovers and volumes stabilize and special waste opportunities materialize that we can drive a number somewhere around $65 million to $75 million of EBITDA range over an 18 to 24-month period on those same exact assets. That will not really come from synergies or operating integration that will come from volume expansions at four or five of the landfills of the eight landfills we bought from Republic. And as we mentioned today on our earnings call, through the first quarter of ownership or in some cases now almost four months of ownership of the Republic assets. We were at or ahead of that $56 million EBITDA pace. So that’s where we are on Republic. Hamzah Mazari – Credit Suisse: Okay. Thank you. That's very helpful. And then, just if you could just add a little more color on your decision to turn on the buyback. Can we expect that, that's a function of fewer, larger acquisition opportunities out there and that you have your hands full currently or how should we be thinking about that going forward?

Hamzah Mazari – Credit Suisse: Okay. Got you. Thank you. That’s very helpful. Thanks.

Okay.

And your next question comes from line of Scott Levine of JPMorgan. Please proceed. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: Good morning guys.

Hi, good morning.

Good morning, Scott. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: So at the beginning of the year you guys were pointing to a full year number on revenue in the neighborhood of $1.2 billion. And I think it’s safe to say, volumes are coming in a little bit late of initial expectations, but you gave clear guidance on Q3. And I guess, we can kind of fill in the blanks and some of the items on the fourth quarter. But any additional things we should take in a consideration regarding any other line items revenue or otherwise as far as expectations to the full year concern that might be moving part?

Well. On the P&L side everything is still consistent what we said before, obviously in the free cash flow side we are running, continue to run ahead of pace. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: Okay. And could you comment a little bit on the breakdown in price trends competitive versus franchise and maybe any implications of those trends on pricing beyond 2009?

Well. There is, really has not been any material change in the pricing between or the pricing breakdown between competitive and exclusive or franchise as you refer to Scott with competitive running ahead of the core average of 5% and exclusive running below. Obviously, the exclusive, as we’ve said we’ll come down in 2010, at just as a function of the CPI coming down over ’09. So that we’re right now getting it depends on the community, but anywhere from a two to almost of 4% CPI in the West Coast for the most part. And that is projected to come down by probably about half or so next year. So that will be the change in pricing we expect next year on the exclusive bet model right now. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: I’m not seeing any change in competitive behavior either on the part of your major competitors or the smaller folks?

No. Not really any material change there, and certainly no, no trend change. You see one of examples all the time in certain markets, but those are just local market dynamics. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: Gotcha. One last one, you mentioned that the slight upside to volumes versus your initial expectations in the quarter was due to some seasonal strength in select markets. Would you care to elaborate where those markets were and whether those trends were or you’re expecting those trends in those markets to continue into the third quarter?

Yeah. I mean we had a couple of markets in each of our three regions. That did a little bit better than we were expecting. And I would expect those markets to continue. Again they are just strengths driven by local projects that might start up parts of the upper Mid West where a little bit stronger than we had expected due to some projects that started up there. Certain parts of the West Coast and the Northwest did a little bit of better and not necessarily California, but the Northwest did a little bit better than we had thought. And parts of our Southern region also did the same. So again that’s why we said, it was not broad base by any means. These are more project specific driven issues. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: But from a broad base perspective, it doesn’t sound as if those things came in materially weaker than you are expecting anywhere for the most part?

That’s correct.

That’s right

That’s right. We really saw things come in and we got a lot more projectability in the business starting in March and April than we had since October. So that level of decline came in dramatically in the second quarter and is continued to come down and visibility improve as we’ve gone throughout the second quarter into July.

Scott, I think, it’s Worthing. I think most companies in the sector are talking about stability in the top line as they have come out of February. Scott Levine – JPMorgan: Got it thanks. Nice quarter.

Thank you.

And your next question comes from the line Bill Fisher of Raymond James. Please proceed. William Fisher – Raymond James: Good morning?

Good morning, Bill.

Good morning. William Fisher – Raymond James: Ron you mentioned special waste, you had a tougher comp there year-over-year this quarter. Are there any opportunities there in the second half? And I think there is a big TVA job, [I think] some landfills near there anything to talk about there?

Yeah. Bill, I mean nothing really to talk about on TVA. We really don’t know anything definitive on that right now. Obviously if we are fortunate to get a piece of that or all of it or piece of it that would be a certainly a big boost, but we have not heard that at this point in time. We are seeing a more inquiries right now than we seen quite sometime about bids on and RFPs for some clean ups at multiple landfills across the country. So I believe some of that will get done in the third in the beginning of the fourth quarter. How much remains to be seen. We are running at a very tight window here where if things don’t get started usually by the middle of August, they probably not getting it done in this year. So, how much of it is planning versus how much of it actually turns into a finance job for clean up, we are not certain. But I can tell you the activity level is higher than it’s been in a while. William Fisher – Raymond James: Okay, great. And then you gave some information on the roll-off pulls. Any change in trend on the commercial collection side either volume or pricing?

No, no real change there, I mean obviously, the trends on the commercial side are still what they were going into Q2, which is still that service decreases outpace service increases, loss business, it’s very close to new business. And those are two trends that we had seen that go that direction prior to October of last year, actually prior to January of this year. So that pace on the commercial side is still is there. William Fisher – Raymond James: Okay, perfect. Thank you.

And your next question comes from the line of Corey Greendale of First Analysis. Please proceed. Corey Greendale – First Analysis: Hi, good morning.

Hi, good morning Corey.

Hi, good morning Corey. Corey Greendale – First Analysis: Ron if you talk to customers, do you have the sense that there are any behavioral or structural changes that may last beyond the downturn? In other words, there are people recycling more than they might have before the downturn and maybe that’s a permanent change that could impact the waste volumes?

You got to separate it Corey, I think on the commercial, the residential, the direct user, the answer to that is no. I have not seen any structural changes. I think on the municipal or the governmental side of how things are being looked at. There is, certainly is a broadening interest spreading sort of through the Midwest and the Southeast of doing more on the recycling and the diversion side than you had going into. I don’t like, I think it was more coincidental with the recession than driven by the recession. It’s really legislatively been a movement that’s been sort of moving West towards the Midwest and the South for the last 5 to 10 years now. And so, I think you will see greater diversion in recycling over the next five years than you’ve seen over the previous five in certain geographies in the country. Corey Greendale – First Analysis: ,:

We didn’t talk about it. But obviously as we talked back in April that most of the margin expansion is from the Republic transaction of those assets came in at the higher margin. Corey Greendale – First Analysis: Okay. And is there any change in your hedge position beyond 2010, are you thinking about the hedge position on fall?

Beyond ’10 so… Corey Greendale – First Analysis: Okay. And sorry if I missed this.

Beyond ’09, no. We are still hedged about 55%, 60% or so for ’10 at a price about $0.10 below where at this year. And then in the ’11 and ’12, we are still hedging about 20% each of those years, at prices $0.20 and $0.30 below where we are this year. Corey Greendale – First Analysis: I mean, do you look to hedge more if something specific were to happen in the futures pricing?

Corey Greendale – First Analysis: Okay. Thank you.

And your next question comes from the line of Nicole DeLabla of Deutsche Bank. Please proceed. Nicole DeLabla – Deutsche Bank: Good morning guys. How are you?

Good.

How are you? Nicole DeLabla – Deutsche Bank: Yeah. Great quarter. Most of my questions have already been answered, but couple for you. We are seeing increased focus on waste to energy from DC. Is this an area where you guys would be interested in getting into in the future?

In the call, it’s probably way too early to tell there are countless new technologies that are being bantered around. We have looked at many, at this point in time, a lot of them have either not been proven on a scale or do not have any assemblance of economic sense, not that that means anything in DC. But, we will continue to take a look at some of the emerging technologies. There is really not much of a appetite in the West, and the Midwest and most of the Southeast at this point for waste energy, but we believe that if somebody figures out the black box recipe that’s economical, and competitive with landfilling that we will be taking a hard look at it. Nicole DeLabla – Deutsche Bank: Great. That’s helpful. And then do you guys have room for further cost cutting. Given the volumes are expected to remain weak into the third quarter or most of the fat already been trimmed.

Nicole DeLabla – Deutsche Bank: Great. Thank you.

And your next question comes from the line of Jonathan Ellis of Merrill Lynch. Please proceed. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Great. Good morning, guys.

Hey, good morning, Jon.

Good morning. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Just on the landfill volumes, I think you mentioned in the quarter you were down 7.5% with half coming from special waste activity in the prior year. Just out of curiosity, is special waste going to continue to be a drag on the year-over-year landfill volume comparisons in the third quarter?

No. There is a very little second half of last year to worry about comping. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch:

Well. First off, the way I look at it is, is that revenue per a month. If you look at our revenue per month it’s fairly flat coming out of June as we projected it, July through September. Therefore, it’s just a mathematical answer if that gives you the results on volumes. Obviously, roll-off continues to be down approaching 17% or more percent on an activity standpoint. Obviously transfer revenue also is down because that’s a pass through with logistics costs being down. Obviously, the landfill while volumes one measure, the question is where what is it per ton, because obviously if you are losing volumes at higher price per ton sites you’re getting a bigger impact on volume growth on a dollar basis, but not on a volume loss on per ton basis. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Right.

So mix on the landfill volumes also plays a key piece of that assessment, when it comes to organic growth. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay. So roll-off and transfer volumes in addition to the landfill volume mix, you think could make up for the lack of drag from special waste activity?

That’s right. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay, great. And then just if you could talk a little bit about the commercial business, I know you said you didn’t see any real change in the volumes during the quarter, relative to what you seen earlier in the year. But I guess in terms of the mix, any difference in terms of request for less frequent pickups vis-à-vis small container sizes or it sounds like I know in the past that you said really the requests come from some of your less frequent pick ups. Is that still the case, or you see more request for smaller container size at this point?

It’s both Jon. I mean what I think it was Bill that asked the question, I forget now. But yeah, I mean really we saw a fairly more change happening about January or February, where for the first time our commercial service decreases, which measured both frequency and container size that started outpacing by a fairly wide margin our service increases in that same system. And that has stabilized at somewhere between 50% and 60% above service increase requests in that system. So, yeah that is a material change that happened in about January and February and is really sort of stabilized that number. So it is a combination of both. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay, great. Excuse me, and then just on your fuel surcharges. And I know you early this year, you did get some benefit from fuel surcharge conversion into core pricing in some markets. Just to make sure, I understand though when you look at the hedges that you have in place, which are prices that are above market. Are the surcharges that you have being driven by your hedged price or actually the market price for fuel right now?

The market price. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay. So surcharges are driven by the market price irrespective of what the hedge prices that you are paying right now.

Yeah. I mean that’s correct. In other words, we do not, we are not charging customers a surcharge that reflects the fact that our fuel cost as a company in certain markets is above market spot pricing. I mean no, that they’re reflecting market price for diesel in a local market basis. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay, great. That’s helpful. And then just at the labor savings that you’ve talked about earnings by about 11% headcount reduction. I think last quarter you had mentioned that equated to about $20 million annualized savings rate?

That’s correct…. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay.

That’s right what we did, say, last quarter. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay. Had A has it changed all, and B how much of that is sustainable if volume starts to improve, how much is really linked to volumes and how much is kind of a sustainable change in your cost structure?

Well. I mean the second part of the question that you asked. I think it’s heavily linked to volumes. I’m not saying that if we get back to flat volumes or nominal growth in volumes that you should expect to see an 11% increase in headcount. But if we get back to volumes where we were prior to this contraction you would see the vast majority of that headcount come back, because where we’ve lost it is in the roll-off system, we’ve reduced the roll-off system greater than the 17% or 18% that is down right now, and that is completely capacity driven. So, assuming it comes back there, assuming it comes back in our third-party landfill volumes, and our commercial systems, you would see most of that come back. There are certainly some SG&A level position that we would expect to get leverage on and you wouldn’t see all of that back. But I would expect to see 90% or thereabouts of the headcount returned once volumes were back at or above the levels they were at prior to the downturn we saw starting in October. And the answer is we’re still running between sort of that $20 million and $25 million of annualized labor savings from the 11% or thereabout the headcount we reduced. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Okay, great. And then just my last question. On the Republic assets, excuse me, and you spoke to the strategy around increasing volumes into those landfills. Just out of curiosity, when you look at the haulers in the market areas that you are now serving with those Republic assets. Is there any concentration of when their existing contracts with other landfills for disposal may come up, not in terms of an actual year, but seasonality do many of those contracts come up around year end or mid-year. And I guess if I know every market is somewhat different, but maybe if you could curtail your remarks to the LA market, which I know it’s a pretty sizable opportunity?

Yeah, the truth of the matter is Jon in most of these markets that the volumes are not under contract by the other major players. And most of these markets that we acquired, the larger independent haulers have not entered contracts with our landfills. So I would say that it’s not necessarily contract driven for pursuing volume. It’s volumes returning from an economic standpoint and it's pricing that moves those volumes around more so. Now there are certain markets like the Bay Area market and Potrero Hills, where we have the Potrero Hills landfill where it's all contracts. So that's a very different contract from the LA Basin market, where there is very few. Jonathan Ellis – Merrill Lynch: Great. That's very helpful. Thanks guys.

Thank you.

(Operator Instructions). And your next question comes from the line of Brad Meeks of Morningstar. Please proceed. Bradley Meeks – Morningstar: Hey guys. I think all my questions have been answered at this point.

Okay. Bradley Meeks – Morningstar: Thanks.

Thanks Brad.

Thank you, gentlemen. I’m showing that there are no further questions at this time.

Okay. Well. If there are no further questions on behalf of our entire management team, we appreciate your listening to and your interest in our call today. Worthing and I will be in the office.
