"Our cash flow this quarter was 37% higher than our best quarterly performance over the previous five years. In addition, we received multiple orders from new customers for all three of our product lines during the quarter, a first since the June 2001 reorganization. We are ahead of plan at the half way point for fiscal 2005 and we are optimistic that we can maintain our momentum over the second half of the fiscal year." "The capital spending restraints of design and manufacturing companies of the last three years are loosening, slowly but surely. I believe we are well positioned in the marketplace with our technology offerings to win our fair share of these new opportunities," Mullaney added.
