Gerry, it’s a little surprising to hear that on the industrial side of the business you still feel you can grow the revenues this year given the economic environment? Can you talk a little bit more about where you’re seeing the growth?
Gerry Perkel
Well, I think what we’ve seen is that throughout the year last year Jim, we’ve brought on new customers a new segments that we’ve participating. Some of those are custom designed displays that are into retail and other digital signage basis or military contracts and are just a variety of different segments where people have found the kinds of products we can put together meeting their needs and many of those contracts just started in the later part of the year and we think we’ll continue to generate demand coming into this year.
In addition, we have numerous new opportunities in our funnel that we are working on and trying to get hose that would contribute to this year. So, it’s kind of the investment and developing that large funnel that we’ve been talking about for many quarters, started to payoff last year and we see continued opportunity to do that going forward.

Now for the commercial display portion of the business, I assume that you are seeing some weakness there just like everyone else?
Gerry Perkel
Yes, a little bit and probably maybe more of the impact for us is what we’re seeing on some of the selling prices. We’ve been attempting to run our inventories as lien as possible to be able to ensure that we can take advantage of cost reductions coming out of Asia, but we do see ASP is going down, which does impact the total dollar volume, but we’re think that while that’s a challenge we’ve really trying to drive our business to be setup to run with those challenges in mind and to be able to react very quickly.

Now on the CSBU unit, how much of an impact are you seeing from the economy in that business in the command and control portion of the business? I assume that’s been more economically sensitive, are you seeing folks push out some of the business, the orders?
