Wouldn't this be itemized under general and admin. expenses. The general and administrative expenses are the salaries for the management. That is stated specifically in the 10Q. Glenn From the 10Q General and Administrative Quarter Ended March 31, ----------------------- 1998 1997 % Change ------- ------- -------- (in thousands) General and administrative............. $ 1,963 $ 1,142 72% Percentage of net sales................ 2.2% 7.1% General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for executive, accounting and administrative personnel, recruiting, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased salaries and related expenses associated with the hiring of additional personnel. Such expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales due to the significant increase in net sales. The Company expects general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as the Company expands its staff and incurs additional costs related to the growth of its business. Page 10
