"First quarter revenues were up more than 20% over last year and we had a break-even bottom line, which was a notable improvement over last year's first quarter loss," said Greg Gronau, GPIC's President and CEO.
"I am excited about our second quarter. We got off to a strong start with the shipment to Singapore of the Marina Bay Sands order, which was originally planned to be shipped in the first quarter. Additionally, the Company recently received temporary licenses to distribute its products in Pennsylvania and Delaware. We are now aggressively soliciting orders in those states to supply casinos that are expected to begin table game operations this summer," Gronau added.
