"The close of our fourth quarter signals the end of a very challenging year," said Robert V. Dickinson, president and chief executive officer. "When I joined the company just over a year ago, we saw close to half of our revenue stream virtually disappear due to the sudden collapse of the communications infrastructure market. I'm pleased to report that the actions we've taken over the past year have begun to show real progress toward returning our company to profitable growth." Among the actions taken during fiscal 2002, Dickinson cited strengthening of the management team, focusing the company on the mobile, computing computing - computer  and LED lighting markets, improving sales and marketing effectiveness Marketing Effectiveness is the function of improving how marketers go to market with the goal of optimizing their marketing spend to achieve even better results for both the short-term and long-term.
