Revenue for 4Q09 and FY09 matched management guidance provided in 3Q09. Furthermore, the Company exceeded RedChip’s revenue estimates for 4Q09 and FY09 by 25.5% and 8.1% respectively. However, due to non-cash losses recognized in FY09 on warrants issued related to the 2008 financing operating income and net income was negatively impacted. Excluding the warranty liability, the Company performed well operationally with EBITDA (excluding the warranty liability) increasing by 89% from $1.31 million in FY08 to $2.48 million in FY09. While management did not give specific guidance for FY10, they did mention that 1Q10 and FY10 is expected to be strong. Based on simple analysis of the backlog at the end of FY09 and assuming new business activity remains at the FY09 level in FY10, we could be looking at revenue in the range of $100-110 million for FY10 with margin improvements at the gross, EBITDA and net income level.
