The Company reported revenues of $3.75 million for the quarter, an increase of 100% compared to revenue of $1.87 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005. On a sequential basis, revenues increased 68% over the $2.23 million reported for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, revenues were $9.77 million, an increase of 45% compared with $6.61 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. 

ROO incurred net operating losses of approximately $4.99 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $14.63 million for the fiscal year 2006.
