Darrel Uselton, CEO stated: "Our financial performance for the
quarter was disappointing in comparison with the stellar results of
the first quarter, but still remarkably better than overall results in
the previous year. We derive a large portion of our revenues from
realized gains on our portfolio of securities received in fee and
trading activities, and therefore experienced significant volatility
in the second quarter in line with the overall market's performance.
We also experienced a significant increase in competition within the
online marketing venues we so successfully pioneered in the beginning
of the year, driving up our marketing expenses sharply. We are
diligently working each day to manage a profitable balance between
advertising outlays and the revenue it in turn generates, remaining
focused on profitability over pure revenue growth. Most of the loss
this quarter was sustained in late April and May, with June nearly
break even, showing improvement of our management of the market
volatility and increased competition we experienced throughout the
quarter."
