In the meantime, we continue through partnerships and other developments to roll out new services such as Internet/website services, advanced hosting, communication gateways, call center and telephone auto-attendant technologies and business application services among others," Stephens said. "Our expense level is growing as we have increased promotional activity to support our growing number of partnerships and to generate new revenue. Despite these expenses and extensive investments in software and website development and in hardware in creating new Internet-based services, we still managed to show a profit and to maintain healthy cash reserves. Our company also continues to be debt free," Stephens said. H-NET.NET, Inc. is emerging as the global digital B2B solutions provider for the vision care industry.
