 of $168,000 for the second quarter and $239,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2005, compared to operating profits of $55,000 for the second quarter and $93,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The improvement in operating results was attributed to increased revenues as well as a reduction in general and administrative expense (G&A). 2005 G & A expense decreased as a result of expenses that were incurred in 2004 and that did not recur in 2005. This reduction in G&A expense was offset by increased selling and marketing expenses incurred as a result of the Company increasing its direct sales force.

Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $148,000, or $0.01 per share. This second quarter net income compares to a net income of $33,000, or $0.00 per share, for the same period last year. For the first six months of 2005, the Company reported net income of $222,000 or $0.01 per share, compared to $58,000 or $0.00 per share for the same period a year ago.
