Surber continued, "I am anticipating a substantial increase in revenues as we prepare and head into the holiday sales season.

"It is possible that Nexia will acquire three or more additional locations before year's end. Our goal is to generate upwards of $10 million in gross revenues by the end of 2008, if we are able to successfully acquire the salon locations that we are currently in preliminary negotiations with by December 31, 2008," added Surber.
