Thomas McNeill, Chief Financial Officer, said “In order to increase our liquidity and to provide necessary working capital to support our on-going business and operations, we have decided to sell our facility located at 555 North Research Place, Central Islip, NY, and on March 29, 2021 we entered into an agreement to sell this building for a purchase price of
“The Company’s backlog at March 31, 2021 improved by $.3 million to
As previously announced, the Company’s majority of the Board of Directors proceeded to change the direction of the company. In late January under the leadership of the Company’s newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Lakios, the Company embarked on an evaluation of our business by market and product segments. This analysis is based on market growth, cash generation and over all return on investment, which confirmed that the equipment systems and production spares are the core elements of the Company’s business.
Mr. Lakios said, “As we exit 2020 a year of unchartered waters for the global economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we see signs of improvement in our served markets. Our largest served market, Aerospace, show signs of the start of a recovery with industry announcements indicating that long haul travel will increase starting in 2021 causing demand for increased airplane seat capacity in 2022. We believe this will directly impact our CVD equipment business. It is our intent to have a philosophy of customer focus and partnership with each customer. In this way we will have insight and the ability to add value in the cause of increasing our market presence in Aerospace, biomedical, and carbon-based products.
“We stated previously that our focus will be on utilizing our dedicated staff and 38 years of developed technology for increasing production end use applications, to provide more value and maturity of our products, bringing more support and value to our customers and the ability for improving our gross margins.
“With respect to our 555 Building, which we previously determined is not needed for present and future business operations, in April 2021 we have completed the move of our Tantaline USA product line to our 355 Building, while all functions of the Tantaline product line have been consolidated into the Denmark office and the United States expenses related to Tantaline have ceased. Our MesoScribe operations move has commenced and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2021.
“Our Tantaline product line, which was acquired in 2016, has been consolidated both operationally as well as sales management into our Denmark operations. Our evaluation is that the Denmark facility currently has ample production capacity and that our analysis that the USA Tantaline facility and operations were not required to serve the Tantaline market was correct. Our objective continues to have the Tantaline product line be cash neutral and to minimize any further investment requirement. We will continue to evaluate the viability of the Tantaline product line over the quarters to come.
“In the same process we continue to evaluate all the segments of our business for growth, profitability and cash generation. We look forward to our annual shareholder meeting in mid-July and we will continue to communicate on important developments in the meanwhile.”
