Genova commented, “By continuing to focus on each of these segments and their related markets, combined with ongoing strategic cost reduction and resource allocation efforts, we believe the Company is well positioned for further improvements in revenue, net income, return on capital and utilization of working capital.”

Genova continued, “During 2012, we were able to effectively utilize our cash reserves through the repurchase of 635,630 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $1.22. Including the effect of the share repurchases, we were able to increase cash and equivalents from $12,089,782 to $12,969,513. Even more significantly, we were able to achieve an increase in book value per share by 10% from $1.36 to $1.50.
