Third quarter POPS bookings are currently at $6.6 million, with approximately three weeks left to sell. We continue to invest in resources that will help us build a solid infrastructure for growth.


Mr. Dall continued, "Additionally, we are pleased to have Gary Vars joining the Board upon completion of the tender offer. We are confident that Gary will be a great benefit to our Company.
