The Corporation's first quarter is historically the lowest quarter for operating cash flow due to seasonal business patterns and funding requirements. Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive for the year.
Capital expenditures including capitalized software for the first three months of fiscal 2010 were $4.8 million compared to $4.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products. For the full year 2010, capital expenditures are expected to be $25 to $30 million primarily focused on new product development and related tooling.
