Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , said, "IASG made significant operational progress in the first quarter 2006 versus the fourth quarter of 2005. Our operational performance, particularly on the expense management side was consistent with the guidance we offered in the 2005 year-end conference call. Attrition results also showed excellent progress in the first quarter. However, as I commented in the past one should not put too much emphasis on any single period. The trend is important and the trend is clearly in the correct direction. The principle disappointment in the quarter was revenue growth."
