“2010 was a recovery year compared to the breakeven year of 2009,” commented John Scheel, ALJ’s Chief Executive Officer. “In fact, we utilized an improved cash position at KES to refinance our working capital line of credit on more favorable terms which, in turn, allowed us to continue our efforts to retire corporate debt.”
