Presumably the two are related?
Neil Young: We actually closed the financing round before the holidays [late 2009]. We’ve just chosen not to announce it until now. It felt it would be better to communicate it and the acquisition at the same time. But the two are related in terms of raising cash for the acquisition? You can pay for things in lots of different ways but certainly one use of the funds is to accelerate the growth of the company. There’s strategic growth and organic growth. Strategic growth will come from the acquisition of companies that share our vision, have the right talent and IP mix, and are complimentary to what we are trying to accomplish. That’s certainly the case with Freeverse. It can also have the case of the acquisition of applications too. We just acquired Charadium, a paid application that we think is great. You haven’t bought its developer though? In that case, we acquired the game and are working with On5, the team that developed the app, to convert it into a free product. We will continue
