The net loss\n of $490 in the quarter and $241 for the six-month period shows a\n comparative improvement over the same periods in fiscal 2012, and is in\n line with management's expectations.\n\n\n\"The small loss for the period is consistent with historical trends,\n which reflect a degree of seasonality in the Professional Services\n business over the holiday season and through the winter months,\" said\n William Touzel, CEO. \"We are pleased with the progress being made in\n integrating the two companies following their amalgamation last\n November, and we anticipate continuing growth through the coming\n quarters.\"\n\n\nAbout BluMetric\n\n\nBluMetric delivers sustainable s...
