Revenues for the quarter totaled $4,185,000 a 28 % increase over revenues of $3,267,000 recorded during the first quarter of 2012. The increase in 2013 first quarter revenues is a result of strong order bookings in 2012.

Operating expenses in the quarter of $985,000 were $122,000 higher than in the same period in the previous year and were largely the result of an higher sales commissions earned on the revenue recorded.
