TULSA, Okla., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Limco-Piedmont (NASDAQ: LIMC) today announced that revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $14.1 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from $17.1 million for the same period last year. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in the aerospace industry and to operational issues incurred at our Tulsa facility.
Revenues from our two segments for the three months period ending March 31, 2009 were as follows:

Revenues:
MRO services $11,484 $12,985
Parts services 2,637 4,135
Total revenues $14,121 $17,120
Our operating income decreased by $1.7 million to a loss position of $262,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2009 from $1,405,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is attributable primarily to lower sales volumes, the relatively fixed nature of labor and other operating costs, as well as to approximately $284,000 of relocation expenses consisting of accrued severance, training costs, and building rental of the new facility.
We ended the quarter with $10.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $22.3 million in short-term investments.
Bob Koch and Ehud Netivi, our Co-Chief Executive Officers, commented, "Our revenues for the first quarter revealed a continued weakness in the aerospace industry and the general economic conditions. Operational issues at our Limco Airepair subsidiary also adversely effected the quarter. We have seen some improvement in expense reduction, but expect additional relocation costs as the move of our facility progresses. At Piedmont, we are continuing to experience revenue pressures in the APU and parts segment. Our propeller and landing gear products improved slightly, but were not sufficient to offset the softness in the APU and parts segments."
Dr. Shmuel Fledel, our Chairman of the Board, concluded by saying, "In-light of the weakness in the markets, we have been experiencing a decrease in our revenues and gross margins. We are taking aggressive expense control measures, including the consolidation of our two US based operating entities into one location, in order to improve the results of operations in the future."
