Engineering expenses decreased $338,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. This is primarily due to a decrease in variable compensation for bonuses of $114,000 and outside consulting expenses of $226,000.

The 2009 loss from operations is a result of a decrease in our revenues and margins due to the current economic downturn. The 2008 earnings from operations is a result of higher revenues and margins with a limited increase in operating expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We used this cash for minimal computer equipment purchases. Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This cash was primarily provided by the sale of a short-term investment. We are planning for $200,000 of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2009 related primarily to computer and communication system upgrades or other management information system enhancements.
