The first quarter 2003 net loss was $491,000 or $0.11 per diluted share versus net loss of $10,897,000 ($516,000 before the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets") or $2.48 ($0.12 before the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 142) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2002. Sales for the first quarter of 2003 were $6,109,000 versus $7,732,000 for the first quarter of 2002.
Commenting on the first quarter net loss, Dominick A. Pagano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Lower sales were the result of the continued decline in the aerospace industry. The consolidation of the Company's divisions, completed in the first quarter, increased cost of sales by $159,000. Excluding the $159,000, the gross profit improved despite the reduction in sales."
