“We anticipate a continued increase of selling, general and administrative expenses,” Hughes said. “These increased expenses are associated with hiring of additional recruiters and the increase in expenses associated with the hiring of new sales professionals. Although we are experiencing a gradual increase in revenue, profitability will continue to be affected until such time as these new sales and recruiting hires contribute to a sufficient increase in revenue.”
