(NASDAQ:AATK) today announced that the preliminary unaudited sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 approximated a record-breaking all-time first quarter corporate high of $1,822,000, a robust increase of 42.7% over the sales of the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $1,277,000. The previous record for first quarter sales was $1,510,000 in 2000. "Current trends and indications lead us to anticipate that 2005 will result in our third consecutive year of record sales. Our sales and distribution partners report that they are continuing their active marketing campaigns and the training and education of end users in conjunction with the industry standards approval for our zone cabling and wireless products in late 2004," said Joe McGuire, Chief Financial Officer. "Our new laser cutting equipment will be online in the second quarter and will enable us to compete for new customers as well as to improve the efficiency of our current manufacturing processes." "While we are confident that we will easily surpass last year's all time record sales, we will continue to focus on achieving profitability. We expect to report a significant reduction in our net loss for the first quarter of 2005, and we anticipate that in 2005 our march to profitability will be realized," added McGuire.
