...Thomson Reuters Journalist -- because you've met everyone. We can just launch right in, right? David Lamere - Bank of New York Mellon Corp - Wealth Management Chief Executive Yes, it has been an incredibly difficult year. You start the period of year and I will tell you how bad it has been. So for -- September through September it was really bad. But if you were September through March it was horrendous. March through September feels pretty good. Overall I think we have fared pretty well. We have kept intact our consecutive quarters of net new client flows, which is a remarkable thing. So we are at ## quarters where we have brought in more business than we have lost, or people have left, which I think is probably a pretty unique company. Our client retention through the period has been still in the very high ##s, ##%, ##%. So when you add that up the simple answer is we are serving more clients than we ever have in our history.

We are the largest inland tank barge operator in the United States, a little than ### tank barges. That's actually down from higher numbers that we started the year. I will come back and talk about capacity later in the presentation. Size matters. We enjoy some economies of scale that smaller operators do not enjoy. ##% of our transportation revenues are under contract a year...

...Looking at the cost revenue focusing first on the sequential comparison, costs were relatively flat with just a #% increase. I think to place this in the proper context, revenue increased ##% sequentially and cost of revenue only #%. And remember that last quarter we reported a ##% sequential reduction in the cost of revenue. That is in comparison to the February quarter. The overall sequential dynamics here continue to be characterized by reductions in production costs but in this quarter, we spent more on marketing than in the first quarter. We are pleased with the results of the new marketing agency relationship as evidenced by the increased attendance. The comparison of the cost to revenue year-over-year reflects reduced production and reduced marketing costs. Again, this reinforces the benefits we are getting from the new marketing agency relationship. Obviously, the sequential comparison, the increased revenue and relatively flat costs had a very favorable impact on gross profit,...
