      Jim Can, BWI CEO, observed, “Given the tough economic climate that has affected all of us over the past year, we are very pleased to have come through this as strongly as we have. I am extremely proud of our team, all of whom have worked hard, persevered, and at the same time continued to provide our customers with excellent service.  Although it is early in our fiscal year, we expect to increase our sales and improve profitability in 2011”.

      Non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, decreased to $732,000 in the year ended March 31, 20010 from $1,354,000 for 2009. 

      Cash generated from operations during the year ended March 31, 2010 was roughly $1,088,000 which was primarily used to repay obligations under capital leases and restructuring costs.
