For its first quarter of 2010, the Company posted revenues of $10.9 million and net income of $37,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $8.9 million and net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009. Gross profit for the quarter was $3.7 million, or 34% of revenues, compared to $2.4 million, or 27% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2009.
Stockholders' equity decreased by $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $38.3 million. As of March 31, 2010 the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $19.1 million, compared to $18.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
"First quarter revenues were up more than 20% over last year and we had a break-even bottom line, which was a notable improvement over last year's first quarter loss," said Greg Gronau, GPIC's President and CEO. "I am excited about our second quarter. We got off to a strong start with the shipment to Singapore of the Marina Bay Sands order, which was originally planned to be shipped in the first quarter. Additionally, the Company recently received temporary licenses to distribute its products in Pennsylvania and Delaware. We are now aggressively soliciting orders in those states to supply casinos that are expected to begin table game operations this summer."
