Incomnet reported a narrowed second-quarter loss of $836,000, or 11 cents a share, on sales that rose 127%, to $822,000.

During the same quarter last year, the company lost $1.1 million, or 16 cents a share. Incomnet said the loss declined because of cost cutting and higher revenue. Sales climbed mainly because of a new contract with Pacific Bell that accounted for about $435,000 of second-quarter revenue.
