The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for 2011 and 2010 of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively (including non-recurring employee and other transaction costs related to transaction activities of $1.5 million in 2010).  As a result of the ACC transaction and the resulting repayment of debt (see Notes 3 and 9), the Company reported positive working capital of $7.2 million at December 31, 2011. 

In combination with forecasted cash flows from operations and existing financing arrangements, the Company believes it has sufficient funding to support its working capital requirements during the next 12 months and beyond. The Company has a substantial backlog as of December 31, 2011, of which substantially all is for the foreign operations and which is expected to ship within the next 12 months. In order to support future expected growth, the Company will need to reinvest a substantial amount of cash from operations back into the business for inventory purchases, engineering and product development, and personnel. Therefore, we must closely manage cash from operations to meet the operational needs of the business and satisfy near-term debt service obligations. The Company's ability to support its business plan is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations.
