year. Net income decreased to $1.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share compared to $2.0 million or $0.32 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.
Third quarter revenue increased 6% to $22.5 million from $21.3 million for the comparable quarter last year. Revenue growth resulted primarily from an 8% increase in
