“As we look ahead, demand for our flagship PCI Express products remains strong and is projected to grow in Q2, driven mostly by enterprise data center equipment.  Our much smaller legacy connectivity product line will continue to decrease over time,” said Raun.  “Overall, our business model continues to strengthen.  We paid down $6 million in liabilities in Q1 and expect continued tight cost controls combined with revenue increases in PCI Express products to allow solid results throughout 2013.”

The following statements are based on current expectations.  The company does not intend to update, confirm or change this guidance until its second quarter 2013 earnings release, although it may provide additional details regarding its guidance during today’s scheduled conference call.
