Dividends

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend totaling $1.8 million.  This dividend was paid subsequent to June 30, 2011 and therefore was accrued and included as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011.  Future payment of cash dividends and the amount of such dividends will depend upon financial conditions, results of operations, cash requirements, tax treatment, and certain corporate law requirements, as well as factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
