While we experienced a loss in the fourth quarter, we were able to contain costs, reduce the loss significantly as compared to Q3, and diversify our customer base. We expect to return to profitability during the quarter ending June 30, 2010, as a result of strong demand, cost savings and good operational performance. Lakeside expects that the demand for its products will continue for several quarters. Lakeside continues to explore opportunities to grow our business, both in Welland and closer to our end use markets."
