We continue to invest in the growth of the insurtech business."

Marketing costs increased $277,757 or 76% which was due to the cost of promoting our product offerings on a variety of our platforms. Research and development expenses increased to $371,044 during the year which was up 67% due to high data access and usage fees charged by the telecom companies.

"One of our key initiatives is to keep pushing gross margins higher, and we have been quite successful by optimizing our product offerings. Gross margins for the year were 12% which is up from the 9% level a year earlier. Another initiative announced during the year was the mobile protection program - the rollout is on schedule and should continue to keep upward pressure on our gross margins as our telecom partners are ready to accommodate the device protection program," stated Martin Shen.
