Results Analysis and Business Digest

The AML/MPI segment

The growth in revenues was as a result of increased sales at our core defense business (up 32% or $2.9 million increase for the year). The growth in defense revenues reflects bookings at AML for both short and long term programs as well as the addition of new customers.

Earnings prior to allowance of tax benefits have increased to $936,000 (from a loss of $103,000 in the previous year). The results reflect the impact of an increased top line, economies of scale and higher value added Value Added

The Mica-Tech segment

For the year, Mica-Tech contributed approximately $1 million in sales while losses from operations carried forward to AML were $466,000 or $0.05 per share. We expect losses from Mica-Tech operations to continue at approximately this pace for FY 2009.

Most of the revenues were generated from sales of the UltraSatNet, the company's satellite based control and communication system that addresses efficient utilization of the electric power grid. Currently, the Mica-Tech solution to power utilities has encountered slow penetration in the traditional utilities market, primarily due to the conservative nature of utilities. Concurrent with our acquisition of 100% of Mica-Tech in February this year, the company begun expanding into the Demand Response market as a power aggregator and a total solution provider. By deploying its proven UltraSatNet system, the company intends to utilize this robust and hacker-proof system in the management of large load reductions during electric grid instability events. These events are a result of summer peak power consumption and a general increase in electric power demand.

Initial market probing and customers contacts indicates that the application of the UltraSatNet hardware solution toward Demand Response service implementation may allow the company to benefit from the growing movement toward efficient power use, and a more "green" environment.

Management perceives that much is at stake in the Mica-Tech business model. To facilitate close contact with developments and to reduce operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales , we have relocated the Mica-Tech operation to the AML facility. The move was successfully concluded at the end of May 2008.
