"Selling expenses were reduced by $212,000 for the six months compared to the prior year due to a reduction in direct to consumer catalogue expenses which had a minimal impact on sales; a further $176,000 reduction in administrative expenses netted a 12% reduction in operating expenses over the same period last year and resulted in a profit before taxes of $203,418 for the six months versus a loss before taxes of $223,714 for the same period last year."
