In light of this, we increased range of medical and surgical specialties. our quarterly dividend to shareholders for the 43rd consecutive year, this year by nearly 16 percent to $.33. Even with this significant increase, we ended the year with a very strong net cash position of $13.5 billion, providing us the resources to continue important business building investments. A year ago I reported to you our excitement about the prospect of broadening our presence in cardiovascular devices through the acquisition of Guidant Corporation. We extended considerable effort throughout the year to conclude this transaction. Unfortunately, a combination of adverse developments in Guidant’s business and competition for the asset forced the price to a point where we concluded it was no longer in the best interest of our shareholders to pursue this business opportunity. Nonetheless, we remain committed to strengthening our business in this important therapeutic category. Elsewhere, aggressive investment in the future con- tinued unabated. We were successful in advancing our future growth through a series of smaller but nonetheless important acquisitions described later in this letter. And, across the business we invested $6.3 billion in research and development, a $1.1 billion increase, or more than 21 percent, above our 2004 investment. The men and women of Johnson & Johnson are to be recognized for their strong performance this past year. They remain the engine that drives our business forward. They make it possible for Johnson & Johnson to continue to touch people’s lives in a more meaningful way, as the William C.
