During the quarter, we added a new customer in theAerospace sector. "We expect continued revenue growth during the balance of the year, and expectto further intensify our market focus in the medical technology sector in thecoming quarters As we all know, the economy is in a deep recession. While someof our customers are indeed experiencing significant difficulties we have othersthat continue to expand their commercial activity with us. Partly, this isattributable to increases in their end market activity but a portion is due toour superior performance as it appears that we are taking market share fromothers. We view this as recognition of our continuing commitment to serving themAbsolutely, Positively Perfect and On Time(sm)." "We have created a stronger Company, and believe the time may be near forapplying to re-list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

We believe we meet all of the listing requirements but forthe $4.00 per share minimum bid price. At the forthcoming meeting ofshareholders, we are seeking shareholder approval to execute, a one, up to fourreverse split at any time before the 2010 shareholders meeting, at thediscretion of the Board. That reverse split would enable us to meet the minimumbid price. Unlike the typical company seeking a reverse split in an effort tomaintain its listing on NASDAQ while its operating performance is deteriorating,our operating performance has been accelerating. We continue to move in theright direction and we are confident that we are creating future value for ourshareholders and opportunity for our employees."
