FONT-STYLE: italic">"</font>, and concluded that this contingent consideration will represent additional purchase price.  The Company has recognized this contingent consideration at the acquisition date at its fair value of $41,000 and there have been no adjustments to this fair value as of December 31, 2010.  This fair value was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model.  This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in Note 6.  The key assumptions in applying the income approach are the 21% discount rate and the probability-adjusted revenues of BSD.  Subsequent changes in the fair value of this contingent consideration will be recognized in the income statement.  There is an additional payment to one of the previous shareholders of BSD of AUD $91,000 ($92,000 USD as of December 31, 2010 applicable exchange rates) that is payable over two years that will be considered compensation under ASC 805, and therefore, is not included in the purchase price.  This payment could be accelerated if the 2011 earn-out gross revenue target is met.</font></div><div style="DISPLAY: block;
