Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $31,488 or 2.1% to $1,450,284 in 2006 compared to $1,481,772 in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.2% in 2006 compared to 4.4% in 2005. The percentage of revenue increase is due to lower revenue in the first two quarters of 2006. The primary driver of the decrease in total expenses is labor and related benefits, which decreased $74,000 due to cutbacks in service and clerical labor, sales managers, supervisors, and group insurance savings. |

Other expense increased $2,804 to $2,931 in 2006 compared to other expense of $127 in 2005. This was primarily due to an increase in interest expense offset by increases in interest income and gain on sale of assets. |
