I expect that Mercury will again recover as we move into the fall. There is some good news to be release soon and I think that should effect our market. This year is also a financial breakout year for Mercury and we expect to be able to show a profit in the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year. This profit will be on Mercury's efforts alone and won't reflect any sales generated by IBM or SITA. With IBM and SITA now creating their own dedicated sales forces, effectively quadrupling our sales force, they should greatly accelerate our growth through additional contracts.
Mercury is now focused on two fronts, increase sales and profit, and move forward on M&A to accelerate growth.
