These costs have been fully applied to the first half of the year and no further costs related to the reorganization are expected. The Company's decision to outsource manufacturing for our DynaPower wire cleaning systems has enabled the DynaPower Business Unit to reduce staff from fifteen full time employees in January 1999 to eight staff today. Restructuring of the unit resulted in a temporary slow down in DynaPower sales and a subsequent reduction in revenues for the quarter. However, we expect sales to increase in the third and fourth quarter, and believe that the DynaPower Business Unit will be profitable for the first time this year. Concurrently, as the Company gears up for construction of larger scale BioOil production plants in its key markets, we have added to the professional capabilities in our BioOil Business Unit, increasing staff from five to ten full time employees.
