We continue to work on a number of rapid growth opportunities across our channel relationships, including significant progress with our key partner Sprint. We see not only increasing momentum for our solution in the IoT Factory channel, but also in other solution groups within Sprint's diverse technology oriented organization. Additionally, we signed an exciting new distribution and marketing agreement with Advantage Parts Solutions, a key reseller of aftermarket automotive solutions to dealerships across the US. Advantage also conducts business in the Canadian and UK markets, which may be attractive future expansion opportunities as we continue to grow.
"To support these efforts, we have further expanded our sales and marketing organization, with new sales hires and offices in Atlanta and Dallas, excellent market centers for the automotive marketplace. However, we also continue to maintain a close control on expenses, reducing operating costs by 26% year over year as we focus on building our subscriber base and distribution relationships in a cost efficient manner. As a result of our continued growth and diligent expense controls, net loss declined from $406,000 in the first quarter, to $223,778 in the second quarter. We look forward to continued progress on our key financial metrics as we grow our subscriber base and recurring revenue streams."
