Revenues improved sequentially once again, expenses were under control, and we moved closer to achieving breakeven breakeven

1. The level of output or sales necessary to cover fixed expenses. Companies in industries that have high fixed costs and, consequently, high breakevens, such as automobile and steel manufacturing, are likely to exhibit large fluctuations
 on the bottom line. Third quarter 2005 revenue grew by 44% from a year ago, and by 2% from last quarter. Our net loss before income taxes fell to $558,000, or $0.01 per share in the quarter, a substantial improvement over the net loss of $2.4 million in the year ago quarter, and the net loss of $720,000 in the second quarter of 2005.

"As the business environment strengthens in our market, this should lead toward modest growth in the quarters ahead," concluded Mr. Chang.
