each of its last four quarters, the company announced Thursday morning.
Profit for the quarter ended Sept. 30

Fortune, a professional employer organization, had expected to earn 2 cents per share, company
CEO John Fisbeck said in a written statement.
“Our sales force and management team have done an excellent
job stabilizing the company over the last 12 months, and I am very happy with the results in this difficult
economic environment,” he said.

same time frame last year, an 11-percent decrease.

Wednesday, near their 52-week high of $1.12 reached last month.
