Commenting on the Company's record results, Edward Spink, TurboSonic's
Chairman and CEO, said "The delay in placement of both nozzle and scrubber
system orders as the result of the recent recessional climate, together with the
non-replacement of the large scrubber system order that heavily impacted fiscal 2001,
has resulted in a significant drop in revenue in fiscal 2002. Increased gross
margins and reduced departmental expenses in fiscal 2002, in a time of reduced
revenue levels from the previous fiscal year, both contributed significantly to
minimize the loss recorded. With the recent increase in orders and anticipating an
improvement in the current US economy, we believe that we are well on our way to the
return of profitability in fiscal 2003."
