o Operating expenses increased by $380,000 or 21%, primarily due to an increase in salaries, travel and consulting fees related to business development personnel and a bonus accrual for meeting forecasted performance targets, partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses due to the lawsuit in the prior year.
