Avi-Tech Electronics Ltd. announced that based on the preliminary financial figures available, the group's fiscal 2012 results will be adversely affected by poor performance of the Group's U.S. subsidiaries (Imaging Equipment and Energy Efficient Products business segment). This is due to the substantial requirements for research and development, and time taken for the development of new products, to replace older models, resulting in high operating expenses. In addition there is a limited upside in sales due to the current range of product lines becoming less marketable. The poor results in this business segment are in line with the Board's previous expectations. In addition the Burn-in Services business segment reported a significant decrease in profits, impacting the bottom line of this key business segment. In view of the above factors, the Board expects the Group to report a significant loss for fiscal 2012.
