In the several months since we initially announced our intention to invest in QLINE, we have been impressed by QLINE's leadership, products, their innovations in delivering mobile functionality and by their relationships with some of the largest operators in the fast-growing home care and extended care industries. QLINE is a profitable company with attractive margins and management believes that Biosign shareholders will benefit from the accretive nature of this transaction. It is for this reason that we took the step to acquire 100% of QLINE in a single transaction."
