The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin figures for the reporting period.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the termination of the "First Purchase Agreement" dated 1998 and the extinguishment of all rights and obligations under that prior agreement. The Company and the Managers executed a mutual general release regarding all matters existing as of the effective date (January 1, 2006).
