difficulties in integrating NGCS.

Previous report

We may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of the NGCS Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the NGCS Acquisition will be beneficial to us. We may not be able to integrate the assets acquired in the NGCS Acquisition without increases in costs or other difficulties. The integration of a business is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating our business practices and operations with the business practices and operations of NGCS. The integration process may disrupt our business and, if implemented ineffectively, would restrict the full realization of the anticipated benefits from the NGCS Acquisition. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating NGCS and to realize the anticipated benefits of the NGCS Acquisition could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, as well as the market price of our common stock.
