Douglas Reynolds, President, commented on the announcement.  "During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we ran into significant problems on two pipeline projects.  That resulted in a disappointing fiscal year 2017 and left us with questions on how to improve operations of the Company and maximize shareholder value.  We feel that we have successfully addressed several issues within the Company and are seeing an immediate impact in operations and customer relations.  We are expecting to have a strong finish to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 that will continue into the first quarter of fiscal year 2019."  Reynolds continued, "The Company also recently announced a one-year share repurchase program that will begin on August 16, 2018.  Under which, the Company may repurchase up to 10%, or approximately 1.4 million shares, of the Company's outstanding common stock.  This repurchase program demonstrates the Board's confidence in our Company's future and our commitment to maximizing value for our shareholders."
