Last year was a great first quarter as we experienced a significant increased spurred by pent up demands in the marketplace. Our first quarters are historically our weakest revenue quarters for the year as customers place orders in the fourth quarter to take advantage of capital investment tax write-offs before yearend.
“I would also like to acknowledge that during the year-end and first quarter transition period, our newly hired CFO decided to explore another opportunity – we wish him well. I am very pleased that Hope Stone, our previous CFO, has agreed to stay with us as we were able to mutually find areas where we could reduce her hours. Hope understands the nuts and bolts of our business and, over the past five years, has done an amazing job of implementing various programs within our accounting department so that we meet Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These are the accounting standard adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is the default accounting standard used by companies based in the United States,” said Hamre.
