Bravo! incurred slightly higher general and administrative cash outlays for the Q2 compared to the Q1 2002 due to an escalation of its branding effort. Warren continued, “The increase in cash outlay during the quarter was attributed to three branding initiatives. The Taz Atti-Tour has provided us with a tremendous opportunity to introduce the Slammers name and promote our products with the tour. Secondly, we incurred the packaging and new product development costs for Slammers and Slim Slammers along with the package designs for the Parmalat Slammers brick. Lastly, it was essential that we formalise our promotional plans and spend the money that was required to secure relationships with these power houses during the quarter.
“Our expansion rate, our success in branding together with our tight controls permits us to be confident, steadfast and focused on our short-term goal of achieving profitability by year end.”
