As of June 30, 2009, our backlog of unfilled orders, which are expected to be filled in 2009, was $10.2 million. The backlog includes the Newport City order for $4.6 million, which shipped in July 2009 and therefore is included in third quarter revenues. The backlog does not include the order for Marina Bay Sands, which we currently expect to ship in 2010. At June 30, 2008, our backlog was $13.7 million.

Commenting on the results, Gerard Charlier, President and CEO, said, "The gaming industry continues to face tough economic times, as the worldwide recession negatively impacts our customer's business and, therefore, ours. In addition to our continued efforts to reduce costs, we are looking for new products and markets to improve revenue and profitability. We are committed to remaining competitive, as demonstrated with our recent announcement of being awarded an order for two million casino chips for the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore."
