I don't understand this. Last year [year 1], we decided to drop our highest-end Red model and only produce the Yellow and Green models, because the cost system indicated we were losing money on Red. Now, looking at the preliminary numbers, our profit is actually lower than last year and it looks like Yellow has become a money loser, even though our prices, volumes, and direct costs are the same. Can someone please explain this to me and maybe help me decide what to do next year? Robert Dolan President & CEO Dolan Products Dolan Products is a small, family-owned audio component manufacturer.
