Quick response for now because I'm slammed today, but more detailed to come...

Yes, UTA's business is seasonal with Q3 & Q4 always being the two strongest quarters and Q1 weakest followed by Q2. It corresponds to the holiday seasons in China and peak travel.

So, no you should not expect $2.00 in 2011, but something in the $1.60-$1.70 range (barring any more accretive acqusitions) which very well could happen with the $56 million on balance sheet.

I expect margin improvement in 2011 and more accretive acqusitions to provide a positive environment for new analyst coverage and a valuation that is closer to $15.
