Mr. Patrick Enright, President and CEO, commented,
We are making progress executing our long-term strategy and while there is more work to be done, strong financial
performance continued during Q3 with improvement in all areas as compared to the same period in FY17. Successful conversion
of engineering program backlog into sales is largely dependent on the execution and completion of our engineering design efforts.
We have experienced some technical delays and issues with our major development programs which are being resolved as they
arise. The facility refit, which will enable us to build and test our newest transformers, is well underway with completion
scheduled for FY19 Q1. With successful completion of our current engineering programs and completion of the factory refit,
we will be well positioned for the future.
Espey's primary business is the development, design, and production of specialized military and industrial power
supplies/transformers. The Company can be found on the Internet at www.espey.com.
