Re: your phone call today.

FINRA response time is supposed to be 10 days. Prior to FINRA, the market had to go to his compliance department and prepare and file their documents with FINRA. There is a process here with a number of steps. We have done everything we are supposed to do and must wait. Everything is proceeding as quickly as it can, believe me.

The acquisition does not have to close until August 31, 2009. We don't have to have the $$$ in the bank until August 30, 2009. I see no need to speculate on timing, prices or anything. I can assure you that we are doing the work that needs to be done to consumate this transaction but, there are a lot of steps, a lot of work and as usual, we will remain very tight lipped until we have something to report.
