Victor Brodsky, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as well as Treasurer of KICO, noted, “Business at KICO continued at a brisk but manageable pace during the third quarter.  Our entire management team keeps a close watch on expenses and continues to seek ways to promote efficiencies and cost savings.  Employment has expanded at KICO as we have added staff in 2010 to maintain the service levels supplied to our select producers.”

Mr. Brodsky continued, “The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not comparable due to the results of operations from KICO only being included in the Company’s results of operations for the period from July 1, 2009 (the KICO acquisition date) through September 30, 2010. The following table compares the KICO standalone three months ended September 30, 2010 amounts with the amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2009.”
