Denis B.E. Donnelly, President and CEO stated, "We are extremely pleased to have
continued the return to profitability. Sales increased by 9% for the second
quarter and by 4% for the six months when compared with the same periods last
year. Income from operations for the six months was $241,500 compared to a loss
from operations of $273,457 for the same period last year.
"Selling expenses were reduced by $212,000 for the six months compared to the
prior year due to a reduction in direct to consumer catalogue expenses which had
a minimal impact on sales; a further $176,000 reduction in administrative
expenses netted a 12% reduction in operating expenses over the same period last
year and resulted in a profit before taxes of $203,418 for the six months versus
a loss before taxes of $223,714 for the same period last year."
