Yes, I would look forward to that – because I mean I hear you that Q-1 isn’t Q-4 but also, typically, I mean, this is, I think, the first year in the recent memory where you have actually lost money in Q-1. 2014 was. So, that’s hopefully not the plan on a go forward basis.
James Whitney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah that’s right. Although, I – for what it’s worth, I have done an analysis of Q-1 goes back our Q-1 for each year for many years going back and the staffing services segment, you know, close to breakeven – it’s sort of typical. I think we would agree with you: we prefer that not to be a loss but it’s never been a significant quarter for us to have a significant amount of income, You know, as we move to that 2% to 4% Q-1 can’t be a loss making quarter, you are just never going to get to those numbers. So, we will absolutely give some more information on that, so people need benchmark.
Matt Sherwood, Cooper Creek Partners
Great. Then, I guess, just on the revenue side. You guys said – you said, improved revenue per work day for the second quarter in a row. Actually, I mean, even though you are still shedding business, if you sort of take that logic forward you should be at a positive revenue growth rate by Q-2 – because you have been improving revenue per work day since then. So, how do we look at the revenue trajectory as we balance, you know, growing the business with shedding on profitable customers?
James Whitney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
So, if you think about it, we have started really doing a rationalization of the customers in the end of the 1st Quarter to the 2nd Quarter last year. So right now if you are trying to model on that I expect it to probably be relatively flat for the first half of the year with improvement in the second half in terms of daily revenue and total revenue.
Matt Sherwood, Cooper Creek Partners
That’s great. Can you share the breakdown the trends that you are seeing retail versus enterprise?
James Whitney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
So, as you know, throughout 2013. In the enterprise group – as we reported each quarter, what we saw was weakness in our particular set of our very largest enterprise customers. That thing is unique to those customers and not unique to both. In other words all of their suppliers have just experienced a slowdown, in the kinds of things that they used contingently report. So, we have seen some sort of gradual steady improvement across 2014 on that and continue to see that gradual steady improvement but no sort of significant leaps on that. So, we expect to sort of see that steadily continuing. And then we have got, you know, this whole challenge that we are working through – working with the unprofitable customers – and then that’s been offset by a lot of successes we are having with new customers. So it’s a kind of a mix of things and I think that’s what leads to Ron’s comments in terms of how we see it developing over 2015.

Okay, last one and I will let someone else to jump in. The other segment – you know, is there any way, I know it sort of consists of money leasing, directory printing business in Uruguay, an ISO type business called a Mentek. Is there any way to segment that profitability between these two? It appears to be reporting losses on a quarterly basis but seems like Mentek wouldn’t be a loss making business. I just trying to understand the dynamics in that segment.
James Whitney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Right, there is a whole number of businesses in that other segment – some of which as you pointed out are profitable and some of which are loss making. You know, we are continuing to look at those that are loss making and how to deal with that. So, that’s still on our list of things that we, kind of, need to deal with. Then I think the reporting will get a little cleaner as we go forward. We will try call out and give you little more visibility into those details. They are combination of small businesses so it’s kind of a challenge to think about devoting a lot of that financial reporting to very small business units. But, we will try and get more visibility on that because I understand your point.
Matt Sherwood, Cooper Creek Partners
I mean just broad brush – would you say Mentek, which I imagine is the largest component of that segment, is profitable?
James Whitney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
We haven’t disclosed the details in there but you are correct. Mentek is a profitable business.

Again, if you have a question, please press star, then one. The last question comes from Paul Latta with Glacier Peak Capital. Please go ahead.
Paul Latta, Glacier Peak Capital
Good morning, thank you for taking my call this morning. Most of my questions have been answered but I did have a couple of small questions. First of all on the G&A expense – I think we have a little bit of a popping in Q-4. Is that just normal year-end effects or is there something unusual about G&A expense in Q-4 this quarter?
