Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results: For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company's net sales were $15.5 million, a 5% increase when compared to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was 38%, compared with 40% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of ($1.1) million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Loss from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled ($0.2) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, versus a loss of ($1.5) million, or ($0.07) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net loss of ($2.6) million, or ($0.12) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $64.2 million in cash and no debt. The $11.6 million total increase in cash for the fiscal year was mostly driven by the $10.3 million generated from discontinued operations. Roger Derse, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We successfully completed the migration to an all defense electronics operation by the end of fiscal 2009. Substantially all assets held for sale were liquidated as of year-end. Our last remaining asset, consisting of land and a building in Columbus, Ohio, is under contract and expected to close in December 2009." Fiscal 2009 Results: For the twelve-month period, revenues from continuing operations increased 11% to $62.6 million in fiscal 2009 from $56.4 million in fiscal 2008. Gross margin for the fiscal year was 39%, compared to 41% in the previous year. Income from continuing operations for the twelve-month period was $3.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to income of $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for fiscal 2008. Revenues from discontinued operations for the fiscal year were $14.4 million, compared to $40.1 million for fiscal 2008. Loss from discontinued operations for the fiscal year totaled ($1.0) million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($8.5) million, or ($0.37) per diluted share, in fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2009 bookings totaled $64.4 million and resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03:1. This represents a 15% increase over fiscal 2008 bookings of $56.2 million. Bookings for continuing operations for the fourth quarter totaled $9.3 million, compared to $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Fourth quarter bookings were impacted by a delay in funding for several projects, the high majority of which are anti-tamper related. These are now expected to book in fiscal 2010. Fiscal 2009 anti-tamper component-only bookings reached $12.5 million, up from $2.8 million in fiscal 2008. Bookings of anti-tamper circuit card assemblies reached $6.6 million in fiscal 2009 versus $2.0 million in the prior year. Fiscal 2009 anti-tamper component-only shipments reached $9.1 million, down from $11.7 million in fiscal 2008. Shipments of anti-tamper circuit card assemblies were $5.4 million in fiscal 2009, up from $0.4 million in fiscal 2008. Total backlog at the end of fiscal 2009 was $37.8 million, compared to $38.6 million at the end of fiscal 2008. Gerald Dinkel, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our Fiscal 2009 results reflect all the implications of a strategic shift in the Company's business from a component-only provider to a more vertically integrated supplier of complex electronic assemblies. This shift has fueled overall growth, but has also brought more unpredictability to the bookings flow as the business becomes more dependent on larger military program funding decisions. Due to delays in the flowdown of funding, our fourth quarter bookings were significantly lower than expectations. We still anticipate these bookings to occur in fiscal 2010 and are otherwise pleased with the 15% year-over-year bookings growth and the nearly 300% growth in our anti-tamper business. Overall, White is well positioned. Virtually all the new programs in our outlook enjoy high priority, even in this more uncertain defense budget environment. We also believe there will be opportunities for strategic relationships and acquisitions to further strengthen the Company."
