Chief Executive Officer Comments on Results
Commenting on the results, Advanced Materials Group CEO and President, Steve Scott said, "While we are disappointed as a group to have had a loss of $16,000 on sales of $7,480,000, we are very encouraged by the progress that we have made in bringing the domestic operations towards profitability. If not for the unexpectedly large decline in sales in Singapore, which led to a $130,000 decline in profit for the first quarter 2003 compared to the first quarter 2002, we would have been profitable in our first quarter of fiscal 2003.
We are committed to focusing on our overhead structure, product mix, and production methodologies in the U.S. to bring Domestic operations to stand alone profitability. Our operations in Ireland and Singapore are facing market fluctuations but are structured well to face these uncertainties."
