Fortune Industries Inc. (NYSE MKT: FFI), an Indianapolis-based professional employer organization, reported revenue fell in its fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 31, but gross margin improved.

Revenue fell 7.4 percent to $13.7 million in the fiscal second quarter from $14.8 million in same period in the previous year. The company reported the decline in revenue was primarily the result of the loss of two major clients at the end of December 2011.
