Operating income was $2,910,000 against operating loss of $9,232,000 a year ago.

The company expects that revenues in the second half of 2014 will continue to be affected by the secular decline in billable long distance and operator service calls initiated on landline phones, partially offset by revenue gains from services to the wireless market.
The company expects full year revenue in 2014 to be within a range of $42.0 million to $45.0 million, modestly below levels projected in prior guidance. EBITDA is still expected to be within the prior guidance range of $8.5 million to $9.5 million.
