CSI’s current financial position is very strong, with cash in excess of $30,000,000 and no debt. President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Berg and I have worked together with others for 17 years to achieve the goals set for CSI and its shareholders. Shareholders will be well served by Jeff Berg as CSI’s new Chief Executive Officer.”

Mr. Berg stated: “Curt is a great leader who has set the bar very high for all of us at CSI. With his vision, he created a long lasting, prosperous company and we are committed to continuing that legacy into the future. CSI has been and is a very financially strong company. With Curt’s direction and guidance, we have never lost sight of our employees and customers. Speaking personally, Curt has been a role model and mentor. I am honored and excited with this appointment. On behalf of all CSI employees, we thank Curt for his past and future leadership and caring.”
