CCIM: ok … I see … and right on the heels of the closing of the merger, you announced that you were joining up with the MainStem Marketplace … again can you bring investors quickly up to speed on just what this means … and from an investor’s prospective view?

HLIX: It means that we are a genuine platform where we are agnostic to channel when it comes to providing clients with necessary services. The deal with MainStem will provide clients with a low-cost, secure way of sourcing key supplies, thus going back to our mission of helping clients to become more profitable. This is just one of the new platforms we are looking to grow.

CCIM: What % of your growth will be organic and what % will be due to acquisitions?

HLIX: Given the way the market is evolving, it’s difficult to project this, and in many ways we are agnostic. If we can enter a new market organically we prefer to do so. But if there is an attractively priced acquisition target that gets us where we want to be more efficiently and effectively we have demonstrated a willingness and ability to take that path.

CCIM: Who would you consider to be your major competitor? What would be your advantages?
