During this time period, we have been careful with our expenditures, focusing our resources on new product development and enhancing our sales organization and distribution channels. We have started to see the positive results of those investments as evidenced by two consecutive quarters of profitability. We are continuing to work hard to return the Company to consistent profitability while also monitoring developments in the global economy as it relates to manufacturing," Fitzhenry concluded.
