Net earnings for the 3rd quarter were $429,000 ($0.03 per share) compared to $1,188,000 ($0.09 per share) for last year.
Revenue year-to-date was $4,517,000 compared to $3,741,000 year-to-date last year. Revenue less expense year-to-date was a loss of $995,000 compared to income of $528,000 year-to-date last year.
