In addition, our strong balance sheet will enable us to invest in our long-term growth strategy. We intend to strengthen our market leadership in PIDS products through both internal development as well as synergistic acquisitions, while establishing a strong local presence in various key emerging geographic areas."

We completed the Africa Cup of Nations project in Gabon early in the quarter, and the project was a resounding success for us on many levels, both financially and for our reputation in the region.
