Earnings per share increased to $0.18 per share from $0.04 the prior year. We expect earnings per share to continue to improve. There are no options issued or outstanding and the number of shares outstanding remains at 25 million.
We will continue our increased focus on the North American market, in order to satisfy the demand for equipment that has resulted from strong commodity pricing in the agricultural markets. We will also continue to build on the success of creating stability with our supply chain in support of attaining our growth targets.
