Our performance in fiscal year 2016, with an increase in sales and gross profit, is the result of our continued focus
on all phases of contract execution. The decrease in net income is a reflection of our investment in experienced
leadership to support the Company’s current backlog and growth objectives. Engineering design and development
orders increased over the past year, with expectations these will result in long-term production contracts, consistent
with our strategy of capturing and executing foundational programs.
