Revenues at CIPAR's Rehabilitation rehabilitation: see physical therapy.  Services division were $777,627, a decrease of $611,027 or 44%. The revenue shortfall was caused primarily by a downturn in the market for pipe replacement services in Western Canada

, resulting in a 45% decrease in pipe replacement revenues. The decline in the pipe replacement market was partially offset by a 131% increase in pipe lining services in Western Canada. The division's loss of ($103,687) was exacerbated by an increase in overhead costs overhead costs

Revenues at the CIPAR's Franchising and Licensing division were $1,511,258, a decrease of $343,864 or 19% from the same period last year. Franchising and Licensing experienced a net loss of ($78,465). The revenue decline was primarily due to continued weakness at the Company's Raven raven, common name for the largest member of the family Corvidae (crow family), ranging throughout the arctic and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The raven, Corvus corax, is a glossy black scavenging bird about 26 in.  division. The delay of the launch of the CuraFlo Commercial franchise offering until the second quarter of fiscal 2007 contributed to the loss.

Consolidated net revenues decreased 4% to $6,182,329 from $6,465,597 realized in the 2006 period.

Morris H. Wheeler, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "GlasCraft continues to grow and perform well. This growth has been fueled by the new Guardian platform and other new products. Over the past 12 months, more than 40% of GlasCraft's dispense system and gun sales were attributable to sales of products developed in the past three years." He continued, "Although we are disappointed with the revenue decrease in our Rehabilitation Services Division, starting in 2007, we implemented a strategic shift away from pipe replacement services in favor of pipe lining services. Pipe lining, not replacement, is CuraFlo's core business. I am encouraged that CuraFlo British Columbia British Columbia, province (2001 pop. 3,907,738), 366,255 sq mi (948,600 sq km), including 6,976 sq mi (18,068 sq km) of water surface, W Canada.

 was able to more than double its pipe lining business this quarter. Finally, I am pleased to announce that CuraFlo is now offering franchises for sale in certain geographic regions. Although this offering took longer than anticipated to bring to market, we are hopeful that he extra time that we took to strengthen the franchise offering will pay off in the long run. Management is hopeful that Cohesant will be able to return to profitability as our three new businesses -- CuraFlo Franchising, CuraFlo Midwest and CuraFlo Spincast - begin to gain traction during fiscal 2007."

In other matters, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Stuart McNeill, president of the Company's CIPAR division. Mr. McNeill has resigned in order to pursue other business opportunities. Mr. Wheeler stated, "We appreciate Mr. McNeill's efforts over the past year and wish him well in his future endeavors." The Company has not named a replacement for Mr. McNeill. Cohesant also named its first Vice President of Human Resources The fancy word for "people."
