Management Comment
Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are continuing to see a major increase in revenue this year. Indeed, our company's revenue for the first three quarters of this year similar to our total revenue for all year 2009. We attribute this increase to the large scale integration projects we are executing for our Latin American customers, the impact of which is expected to be felt for the next few quarters. These large projects, while increasing total revenues, yield lower gross margins than our typical products sales programs, therefore our gross profit remains similar to 2009.
"We continue to invest in the research and development of new products," continued Mr. Alon, "particularly our Inertial Navigation products and 'Sentinel' radar, which we hope will become major growth drivers for our company in the future."
