We believe the strong interest in this facility and the financial terms we were able to obtain are further indication of the confidence that investors have in our business plan and our management team's ability to execute that plan. Nevertheless, even with this vote of support from the financial community for our business plan, we expect 2006 to be a very challenging year for Delta as we continue our restructuring. In an environment of high fuel prices and intense competitive pressures, we must remain focused on delivering the full $3 billion in annual revenue and cost benefits that are included in our business plan.

The county has experienced strong property appreciation trends over the past several years, with total assessed value increasing by a very strong 49% since 2003 to $4.0 billion in fiscal 2006. Since 1998, the unreserved fund balance has ranged between a high of 6.7% of expenditures in fiscal 2003 to a low of 2.0% of expenditures at the end of fiscal 2004.
