  • Revenue for the second quarter totalled $737,163 compared with $455,740 for the same period in 2011, an increase of 62 per cent. The increase in revenues in the second quarter of the current year is mainly attributable to higher revenues from on-line training contracts as compared with the second quarter of the previous year.
  • Total expenses for the quarter totalled $821,839, as compared with $1,621,510 in 2011, due to the benefits of cost rationalization and a reduction in share-based payment and in amortization of intangibles.
  • Total comprehensive loss totalled $84,676 or 0.4 cent per share based on 20.5 million shares outstanding compared with a total comprehensive loss of $1,165,770 or six cents per share based on 20.5 million shares outstanding.
