CEO Comments on Operating Results

John P. Albright, president and chief executive officer, stated, “We are encouraged by our continual improvement in our operations during the quarter and the addition of an income asset to our portfolio.” Mr. Albright further noted, “Although we experienced a net loss in the quarter, which resulted from a legal reserve recorded in connection with litigation commenced in 2010, non-cash stock compensation expenses for equity award grants to our recently hired senior executive team and a non-recurring expense related to separation costs for a retiring senior executive, we remain cash flow positive.”
