For the same periods in 2019, loss from operations was approximately ($56,700) and ($248,300), respectively, versus approximately ($128,400) and ($475,600) for the comparable 2018 periods.

Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “While our sales growth remains sluggish in the present economic environment as the sales cycle has lengthened, our loss from operations for the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2019 decreased from the same periods last year and continued to show improvement between the first and second quarters of 2019, reflecting continued positive results from our investment in infrastructure and new data. We continue to remain debt free, thus providing us with financial flexibility.”
