Revenue for the first quarter was $7,977,759, compared to $8,813,176 for

Gross profit for the first quarter 2011 was $1,280,231 (16.05%),
compared with $2,060,893 (23.38%) last year. The decrease in gross
profit is directly related to the reduction in revenues relating to the

decrease of $54,755 or 1%.

of $267,431 last year. The revolving facility generated $231,140
during the quarter compared to $326,635 in the comparative quarter.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment amounted to $838,603 as at March 31, 2011, a

2011 depreciation of $84,361 and additions of $41,585.

amortized on a straight‑line basis over periods varying between 5 and 8
years. Intangible assets amounted to $674,874 as at March 31, 2011, a
reduction of $19,330 over intangible assets as at December 31, 2010,
