This improvement is attributable to the efforts we made during year 2010 in expanding our marketing and sales activities as well as in working rigorously to improve our production flow and yields. We continue to focus on our core capabilities while expanding our business offerings worldwide.
"We are encouraged by global trends of increased traffic reported by airlines and we believe we are witnessing a steady recovery in the demand for MRO services, as well as positive indications from OEMs in the aerospace and defense industries, which impact our businesses.
"We believe that our efforts along with continuing improvement in the global aviation industry, will sustain the improved trend line of our performances in 2011."
