Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , commented, "MOSCOM undertook several major structural changes during the second quarter including the closing of money-losing subsidiaries in Germany, England and California; a substantial reduction in employment; and the discontinuance Cessation; ending; giving up.

 of unprofitable product lines. With these changes, MOSCOM has achieved its goal of reducing its operating expenses Operating expenses

The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted.
 by approximately $5 million per year. This dramatically reduced cost structure will be reflected in third quarter results."

, continue to improve, although they are not yet contributing significantly to revenues. Since July 1, MOSCOM has delivered Verabill IS billing systems for installation at telephone companies in Togo, Guinea, the Philippines and Germany.

We anticipate shipments of TMS will commence in the fourth quarter."
