Jack Oehlke, president and chief executive, said, "We anticipated a decline in our revenue in the first quarter
based upon forecasts from existing customers and new programs have not
ramped up rapidly enough to offset the decline.
"Our improved
production efficiencies have resulted in solid margins and increased
year-over-year operating income and earnings. We also strengthened our
balance sheet by reducing current liabilities as a result of reducing
accounts payable and paying off the remaining portion of the
longstanding litigation settlement."
Long-term liabilities increased $3.5 million, to $12.9 million at quarter's end. Cash rose $400,000, to $1.9 million.
