The increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020 is due an increase in recruiting fees to hire additional employees. The decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021, is due a decrease in fees paid to our professional advisors.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company commenced a corporate stock awareness program.

The decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 is primarily due to one-time bonuses paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 in recognition of their dedicated service during the stressful COVID-19 period.
