Hi. Thank you very much, operator. Good morning everybody, and welcome to Genesis Pharmaceuticals’ first quarter of fiscal 2009 earnings conference call. I am Crocker Coulson, and with us today on the call are Mr. Xu, Genesis Pharmaceuticals’ Chief Operating Officer, and also the company’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Elsa Sung.
Before I turn this call over to company’s management, I’d like to remind our listeners, in this call management’s prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions.
Therefore, the company claims the protection for forward-looking statements that’s contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ from those discussed today and, therefore, we’d like to refer you to a more detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties in the company’s filings with the SEC.
In addition, any projection as the company’s future performance represent management’s estimates as of today, November 17th, 2008, and Genesis Pharmaceuticals assumes no obligation to update these projections in the future as market conditions change.
It’s now my pleasure to turn the call over to Mr. Xu.
