DecisionPoint expects to report its final results in the near future, after its independent accountants have finished their review procedures. There can be no assurance that the final results will be identical to, or as strong as, the preliminary results.

CEO Nicholas Toms commented, "The strong year-over-year growth gives us a good start for 2014, which we believe will be a good year for the Company and for our shareholders. The improving economy, together with expense reductions that we effected in the final months of 2013 and the further integration of the companies we previously acquired, have made it possible for us to achieve much better bottom-line results as well.

"We are pleased that our gross profit margin increased compared to last year's first quarter. We reduced our SG&A expense by 26%, to $3.7 million, versus $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, reducing our operating loss to $143,000, compared to a loss of $2.2 million in last year's first quarter. As you move down our P&L, our net loss before taxes was $91,000, down quite significantly from the $2.4 million loss for last year's first quarter.
