Destiny is engaged in the business of providing geospatial, line clearing and drilling services in Canada and the United States.  The purchase price was approximately CDN $38 million in cash, subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon an assumed target amount of working capital.  Acquisition related costs of $0.1 million were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  The Company acquired Destiny to expand its growing Oil and Gas Field Services segment and expects Destiny to enhance the Company’s service offerings to its customers and its reputation as a leading provider of comprehensive field services for the oil and gas sectors. The Company is in the process of performing its acquisition accounting.
