For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, revenue decreased 25.2% to $42.2 million, from $56.4 million in the same period a year ago.  

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the twelve month period was $3.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, as compared to $4.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for fiscal 2008.  

Ken Chymiak, ADDvantage Technologies Group President and CEO, commented, “Although the challenging economic environment continues to have a direct impact on our business, we have made, and continue to make, changes to our business model to ensure we are successful.   We reported net income of $0.30 per share and generated positive cash flows, even after paying down our line of credit and debt by $4.7 million and purchasing over 200,000 shares of our common stock through our stock buyback program.   In addition, we have retained our position within the industry as the leading “On Hand On Demand” source of cable television equipment, carrying the most comprehensive mix of inventory of cable equipment of any reseller in the industry.   The team work and dedication that our people have shown over the past year is the reason ADDvantage has been able to achieve each of these goals, and the Board and I appreciate everyone’s efforts.
