Operating expenses were $1,175,446 in Q3 2017, a decrease from $1,506,939 in Q3 2016, caused mainly by the decrease of commission expenses, renovation expenses and director fee. The decreased financing costs of $252,987 in Q3 2017 ($343,124 in Q3 2016) because of the decrease in interest rate further decreased the total expenses.
