Increases in general and administrative expenses are expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue as a result of the Company expectations such costs should scale with the Company's increase revenue in the future. Equity based compensation is expected to remain stable in the future. The Company also believes those that have been incentivized through equity based compensation will help the Company create brand recognition and improved profitability in the future. The Company's net income was impacted by the accounting for the warrants using derivative accounting. As detailed in above in Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements, the Company's net income for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2011 was increased when the Company corrected this period, the relative increase as a result of the correction was significantly more than the income reported for 2012 as result of marking the warrants to fair value at the end September 30, 2012.
