Long term it will be a net profit generator but initial costs and approval of the deal will have some impact. Essentially what is good for our owners is good for our profit sharing but I wouldn’t count on any significant increase in delta metal operations. The reason we are buying them is to instantly have access to market share instead of growing into it.
