“The focus of the company since my arrival in July 2009 has been to build a sustainable profit model,” said Daniel Cushman, president of the Tontitown, Ark.-based company. “While this sounds basic and fundamental, the execution of the concept requires discipline and perseverance, and often means forgoing short-term profit opportunities in favor of investing in the long-term sustainable profit plan. … While we will never be content with break-even operating results, we were pleased with the year-over-year improvement and progress in many key areas. We look forward to 2012 and our continued progress towards the achievement of a sustainable profit model.”
