Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer said, "Bookings for this quarter increased 28% from the June 30, 2009 quarter. Every business segment outpaced its fourth quarter order rate, and we are encouraged that product demand is strengthening. The cost reductions we initiated during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 contributed to the earnings we are announcing today."
Kramer continued, "During the quarter we repaid $0.6 million on our outstanding debt, made capital expenditures of $2.5 million, and invested $2.9 million in our joint venture in China, Langfang Haobo Diamond Co. Ltd. Finally, cash from operations of over $15 million helped increase our total cash to over $105 million."

As announced on June 12, 2009, the Company sold its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensor business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc., which operated as a business within the Compound Semiconductor Group.
