"We continue to experience volatility in sales demand in the markets we serve, particularly in Europe and China. While we are disappointed with sales, we remain cautiously optimistic that the economy is stabilizing on a global basis, and we should see a return to normal purchasing patterns in the coming months. The month of February was the strongest month in North America that our EDG business has had in two years. In the meantime, we are closely managing our working capital investments and expenses. We generated nearly $5 million of cash from operating activities during the first nine months of this fiscal year," said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.
"We are currently forecasting our fourth quarter sales to be in the range of $36 million to $38 million. We are in an excellent position to help customers replace tubes, service their equipment, and design engineered solutions," concluded Mr. Richardson.
