“The company continued to focus on reducing operating costs during the first quarter and our improved financial results reflect some of the significant cost savings initiatives we have recently put in place. Some of these initiatives include changing certain vendors to the company for various products and services, more efficiently running our call center operations, and selective headcount reductions, among others. And, while this period was impacted by a temporary halt by one of our largest customers to certain services we provided to them, we have subsequently reinstated similar services and are now ramping up to pre-halt levels” said Rick Bloom, Interim president and chief executive officer.
