CEO Commentary
“We are pleased to deliver another quarter of year-over-year revenue and earnings growth,” said Jacob Inbar, President and Chief Executive Officer of AML. “The quarter reflects growth in sales of integrated assemblies for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”s) and Surveillance applications. Margins increased during the quarter as we reaped the benefits of investments in manufacturing automation. The quarter was also marked by increased engineering activity in preparation for production of integrated assemblies for a recently announced $3.7 Million order, as well as new designs associated with new defense programs.”

“We recently announced the engagement of C. K. Cooper & Company as our financial advisor. While organic growth is both a short term and long term strategy, C. K. Cooper & Company is expected to be instrumental in executing our growth strategy through acquisitions. For further details on new and existing programs, growth strategy and business outlook, please join us for our conference call later today.”
