Management Comments
Miller added, “We appreciate the patience and support that we’ve received from our employees, customers, shareholders, lenders and other stakeholders during a challenging period for the Company. While the restatement process and related costs significantly impacted profitability, our business experienced positive momentum in 2017 and 2018. We recognize that a lot of work remains in order to return our business to appropriate levels of profitability but we are confident we are on the right path.”
“We have initiated a comprehensive set of business objectives aimed at improving our profitability, streamlining processes, and strengthening our business, while simultaneously focusing on achieving growth in higher return product lines. We are conducting a thorough review of our customer and product portfolio which has already resulted in strategic price increases in certain areas of our business, along with product redesign and the re-sourcing of certain components, to support improved margins.

These improvements, which entail the reimplementation of our ERP system, will be critical as we strive to grow our business in the future.”
“Lastly, our plan focuses on growing the business in those areas where we can drive the highest return on investment. Accordingly, we have invested heavily in the recruitment of key management, sales and operations staff to support the development and sales of higher margin, heavy-duty engines that serve the energy and industrial markets. Our highly accomplished team is intent on expanding our range of customers, particularly in the datacenter, healthcare and demand response markets, while growing business with existing PSI customers through the marketing of the Company’s expanding product portfolio and the utilization of our customized engineering capabilities. Notably, since the inception of our relationship with
