Bell ID is consistent with our long-stated goal of strategically adding product depth to our portfolio, particularly in non-US markets.  Outside of the corporate development activity, this was a quarter with milestone renewal events, significant add-on sales and a lot of management energy dedicated to the improvement of our product offerings.  Our financial results are beginning to reflect both increased efficiency and profitability in our business as well as better management of our expense structure. I was especially pleased to see us attain an operating margin of over 11%,” said Chief Executive Officer Philip Heasley.
