(A) Revenues increased due to the increased efforts of the company’s sales force and improvement in the overall economy.





(B) Increase in cost of revenues is related to an increase in purchases due to the rise in sales.





(C) Gross profit was $260,093 in the second quarter of 2010 or 24.1% of net revenues compared to $340,898 of revenues or 40.5% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2009. Gross Proft was $495,258 in the first six months of 2010 or 29.5% of net revenues compared to $465,062 in the same six months of 2009 or 35.8% of revenues.  Gross profits will vary period to period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold.  Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers.  Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders.  The lower gross profit percentage in the second quarter of 2010 is due to revenues from a mixture of proximity marketing, website development and direct relationship marketing.





(D) Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by approximately $328,000 and $360,000, respectively, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year.  Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 include an increase in stock based payments (non – cash) of $409,862 and $426,234, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of the prior year.





(E)  Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by approximately $409,000 over the comparable period of the prior year due to approximately a  $410,000 increase in stock based payments ( non – cash ).  Net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by approximately $329,000 due to an increase in stock based payments ( non – cash ) of $426,000.
