Review and Outlook
"During the first quarter we have made additional headway in our core business," said William J. Lally, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although our SG&A has increased by $80,859 when compared to the prior year, if we back out the one-time non cash option expense of $237,492 from the current quarter, our SG&A on a like comparison is down for the quarter by $156,633 when compared to the prior year. This reduced expense level with our focus on increasing revenue will help accelerate our pursuit toward profitability."

Lally continued, "In addition, our net revenue for the current quarter which is our revenue less forwarding expenses, increased slightly when compared to the prior year. We are focused on returning the company to profitability and growing our sales."

Lally concluded, "We are committed to turning Janel around and returning value to our shareholders."
