Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 139% to $2,964,731 as compared to $1,238,341 in the same period of 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily due to a large print and fulfillment project that was successfully executed in the mutual fund market during the second quarter of 2010.
