Future Overhead expenses. The Company intends to maintain the level of its expenditures for sales and marketing in the third and fourth quarters from that in the second quarter. While current economic conditions make it difficult to forecast future enrollments, we are taking steps to improve our operating results for the remainder of our fiscal year compared to what we achieved in our second quarter. These include actions intended to increase revenue per event, and to increase the return on our sales and marketing investments. Future Interest Income.
Interest income reflects changes in our cash balances as well as changes in interest rates.
As a result, interest income can be expected to decline in our third and fourth quarters compared with our second quarter this fiscal year. Future Tax Rate. Our instructors, our content, our classrooms and our delivery set the standards for quality and effectiveness in the industry. The goal of our quality processes and training methods is that every single one of the IT professionals we train acquires the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in his or her job. We believe that Learning Tree is exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on the training needed by IT professionals as they tackle projects that require new hardware, software and networking technology.
