Except they actually increased this year. Which is the exact opposite of what you claim.
Employee costs and bonuses increased by approximately $209,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2016. During 2016, there was an increase of approximately $263,000 in salaries, primarily due to the addition of our Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Operations. This salary increase was offset by bonuses of approximately $53,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2015, while there were no cash bonuses for the same period in 2016.
