Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As we stated in our year end conference call, the first half of the year would be a slow start with a drop in revenues from the prior year due primarily to the current economic conditions. The first quarter results were in line with this guidance. The good news is we have been able to improve our EBITDA and Non-GAAP profit over the 4th quarter of fiscal 2009, despite a revenue drop. This reflects the initial payoff from our long term strategy over the past several years of investing in our high value added products targeted at growth markets and the streamlining of our operations through facility consolidation. In addition, our recent cost reduction initiatives in response to the recession have helped control our operating expenses. While we have instituted cost cuts this year, we are committed to continuing to make the strategic investments necessary to enable growth as the economic conditions improve. We remain cautiously optimistic, that our reduced cost structure and gross margin improvements have positioned API for long term profitability as revenue growth returns and the economic conditions improve."
