Net sales were $26.03m, compared with $24,77m in the equivalent quarter last year. But the company reported a loss of $64,242, compared with a profit of $118,175 in the year earlier period.


During the first quarter, gross margins increased $59,894, or 1%, compared to the prior year quarter. Higher sales volume and improvement in pricing continues to offset promotional spending.


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $416,074, or 4%, due to substantial increases in fuel cost, the company said.
