Net income surged $7.0 million to $10.1 million since the same period last year. Management has drastically reduced debt to just over $18 million, down from $123 million.

Compare these levels to the loss of 3 cents last year and you have an astronomical growth for this year. Earnings are expected to climb 51% in 2010.
