This was due to the initiatives we undertook to build a vibrant and sustainable subcontracting business for defense and commercial prime contractors.”

He continued, “In 2008 we were awarded a record $55.4 million in new contracts, including several long-term multi-million dollar awards and we were selected as a subcontractor to some of the most prestigious aerospace and defense as well as commercial aircraft companies in the world, including The Boeing Company, Spirit AeroSystems, Sikorsky Aircraft, Hupp Aerospace/Defense and Northrop Grumman. We are supplying requirements for critical defense programs including the Sea Hawk and Black Hawk Helicopters, the A-10 Thunderbolt Attack Jet and the C-5 Cargo Jet as well as civilian aircraft programs including the S-92 helicopter and the Gulfstream G650. We are exploring new opportunities to expand our relationship with existing customers and at the same time, we are pursuing additional primes including other helicopter and business/private jet makers.”

Mr. Fred continued, “With the first quarter nearly behind us and increasing visibility in front of us, we are reaffirming our 2009 guidance which calls for revenue to be in the range of $42 million to $45 million, with resulting net income in the range of $3.9 million to $4.3 million. Additionally, using 2008 as the baseline, for the three-year period ending in 2011, we expect to achieve a compound annual growth rate for revenue in the range of 30% to 35%, with a resulting compound annual growth rate for net income in the range of 50% to 60%.”
