Full-Year 2015 Outlook and Commentary

Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2015, Mr. Goldstein said, "We believe we are well positioned to drive sales and demonstrate continued positive income growth from a new cycle of order upgrades from customers who are still using older generation versions of our equipment and to expand our customer base in new markets. Energy demands are up across the world and we are aware that nuclear power facilities are being considered in many countries for the first time. A number of economies in Asia such as China, and India have been building nuclear power plants and new entrants such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand have plans. Our radiation safety, air & water measurement and advanced tritium technology devices and monitors play a critical role in a nuclear reactor facility. We believe these new markets represent a tremendous opportunity for us," concluded Mr. Goldstein.
