3. Investment in LCM and LCMG Ltd. On June 27, 2008, the Company, through a newly-incorporated, wholly-owned United Kingdom subsidiary, LCMG, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of LCM, a corporation domiciled in Birkenhead, United Kingdom (the “LCM Shares”). The purchase price of $9,660,433 was funded as follows:

It IS a nice pic. Check the I-Box and you'll see it up there. I started updating things over the weekend, and pulled a few pics off of the GWM website to dress things up.
