Our SG&A expenses were up from the first quarter due in part to higher commission expense related to the sequential quarterly increase in revenues, the acquisition of Cambridge and an increase in equity-based compensation. Capital expenditures were $1.5 million, amortization of intangibles was $0.4 million, depreciation was $1.5 million and stock-based compensation expense was $1.9 million."
