Franchising revenue increased to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. Royalty revenue increased by $901,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $5.8 million from $4.9 million in the comparable 2007 period, partially due to the re-franchising of Company-owned training centers. Revenue from Company-owned training centers declined to $3.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $7.3 million in the comparable period of 2007, as a result of the disposal and re-franchising of four Company-owned training centers during 2007.

The Company had operating income of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to an operating income of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2007.

The improvement reflects increased margins in both the Company's Franchising segment and its Company-owned training centers segment.
