TWST: Can we start out with an update on Renal Care Group? What has gone on over the past couple of quarters that investors should focus on?
Mr. Allison: Renal Care is a six-year-old company. Over the last two quarters, we have been achieving about a 15% earnings per share growth, which is what our CEO, Sam Brooks, came out and said in September of last year, that was our three- to five-year target. And that has proven to be the case. We are very consistent. We have recurring revenues. So I guess the thing is that we just continue to be a very consistent earnings performer, and during this same period of time our balance sheet has continued to strengthen to the point where today we actually have no debt at all.

TWST: That's a good position to be in, I guess, in this environment.
Mr. Allison: It certainly gives you a lot of comfort. One of the things we want to look at is, how do we effectively utilize debt to give shareholders a return? But, at this point in time, we have not come up with an opportunity that we believe is worth investing additional debt dollars in.
