MINNEAPOLIS, MN (formerly operating as APA Enterprises and
former symbol APAT) today announced results for the first quarter
ending December 31, 2007. The Company reported net income of
$395,000 compared to a loss of $429,000 in the same period of the
previous year. Key to the results was ongoing revenue and gross
profit growth within its continuing operation (formerly known as
APA Cables & Networks, Inc.), the closure of the Optronics
business unit, and the reversal of a long-term lease obligation
expense reported in a prior period.
Revenue for the quarter ending December 31, 2007 was $4,697,000
in comparison to $4,505,000 for the similar period in 2006, an
increase of 4 percent. Gross profit was $1,449,000 in comparison to
$1,355,000 for the earlier period, an increase of 7 percent. Net
income included a one-time gain of $297,000 achieved from the
reversal of the long-term lease obligation related to the purchase
and subsequent sale of the Blaine facility that was previously
leased.
Backlog for future sales as of December 31, 2007 increased by
$577,000 to $1,973,000 from September 30, 2007. The increase in
backlog is the result of both heightened demand from target markets
as well as operational difficulty experienced late in the quarter
due to the Company's migration from one information technology (IT)
platform to another within the time period. The Company believes
these challenges are now primarily behind it.
