Highlight of Business Operations:
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $903,000 or ($0.08) per basic and diluted common share compared to a net loss of $530,000 or ($0.05) per basic and diluted common share reported for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The net loss resulted largely from shortfalls in anticipated sales volumes to both U.S. and international customers which were significantly influenced by difficult worldwide economic conditions.
