$DIRV Operating Expenses: Operating expenses in 2017 increased by 30.9% to $2.1 million compared to $1.6 million in 2016. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributed to a $326,000 increase in compensation and taxes, a $146,000 increase in amortization, and a $127,000 increase in depreciation, partially offset by a $100,000 decrease in debt expense and a $50,000 decrease in marketing and public relations expenses.
