JANUARY 22, 2007 AT 8:30 A.M. ET
Coordinator: Welcome to the PetMed Express, Inc. doing
business as 1-800-PetMeds Conference Call to
review the financial results for the third
fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2006. At
the request of this company, this conference
call is being recorded. Founded in 1996, 1-800-
PetMeds is America's largest pet pharmacy
delivering prescription and non-prescription
pet medications and other health products for
dogs, cats and horses direct to the consumer.
1-800-PetMeds markets its products through
national television, on-line and direct mail
advertising campaigns which direct consumers to
order by phone or on the Internet, and aim to
increase their recognition of the "1-800-
PetMeds" brand name. 1-800-PetMeds provides an
attractive alternative for obtaining pet
medications in terms of convenience, price,
ease of ordering and rapid home delivery. At
this time I would like to turn the call over to
the company's Chief Financial Officer, Mr.
Bruce Rosenbloom. Sir, you may go ahead please.
Bruce Rosenbloom: Thank you. I would like to welcome everyone
