Company CEO Ron Ordway stated, "Fiscal 2010, especially the 4th quarter ended February 28, 2010, represented a dramatic positive turn in Video Display's revenue and profit results as reflected in the above reported financial numbers. The major upswing in revenue in the fourth quarter of $3.2 million to $19.7 million resulted in a 4% increase in the gross profit martin. We were also able to control operating expenses in the quarter with a reduction of 9%, even though revenues were 20% higher, through a $2.5 million expense reduction program implemented in the beginning of fiscal 2010." He further stated, "With the strong 4th quarter, the Company achieved its annual guidance of $0.10 to $0.12 in earnings per share for fiscal 2010. Based upon the current level of order booking, I believe that VDC's revenues for fiscal 2/28/2011 will be in the range of $78 million to $82 million or an increase of 11% - 15% above revenues reported for fiscal 2010. Although we expect to see higher interest rates on corporate debt as well as higher levels of operating expenses, this should be offset by expanded gross profit margins on increased volume and should result in more than a doubling of Earnings Per Share for the full year in fiscal 2011."
