Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, our sales and marketing personnel expenses increased $200,000 from the comparable prior year period while our general and administrative expenses, excluding the charges described below, decreased by $200,000. Excluding a net expense reduction of $204,000 in the second quarter of 2001, primarily resulting from a $727,000 expense reduction due to a non-cash stock compensation adjustment offset by $426,000 of legal fees related to an employee termination, the Company reduced its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, from 39% to 34%.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
