As we integrate these acquisitions tightly, we expect increased synergies coming out in terms of improved margins for the Company.”

Our accounts receivable DSO stood at 57 days as of June 30, 2012, continuing an improving trend as this reflects a reduction of 7 days from year-end 2011, and 14 days from a year earlier at June 30, 2011.”
