More time is required than originally anticipated to gather information from
third parties regarding the closing on the purchase of certain claims during
the quarter. Also, the outside CPA firm which assists the company with its
filling is temporarily understaffed due to medical absences. The company does
not expect activity during the current quarter to differ materially from
previous periods reported.
