However, these results of operations are still under review and subject to change. The Registrant completed the acquisition of Grant Bettingen, Inc. on June 2, 2008; therefore the second quarter of 2008 only included 28 days of Grant Bettingen's operations on a consolidated basis with the Registrant's operations. This acquisition has had a substantial impact on the Registrant's revenues and overall operations. As such, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not comparable to the same periods of 2008.
