The increase in gross margins from those reported last quarter resulted primarily from an increase in revenue while maintaining a similar level of fixed cost structure.

Moving from a net loss in the third quarter to a net income in this quarter is primarily the result of a significant increase in revenue.
Commenting on the results, Amos Kohn, President and CEO, stated, "Our fourth quarter's significant revenue increase, as compared to our third quarter, is a result of large shipments to our customers. Our gross margin increase from last quarter mainly resulted from an increase in our revenue while maintaining a similar level of fixed cost structure. With very close management, we were able to start production of some of our unique custom design products to satisfy our customers' aggressive delivery plan."
