“Fiscal 2010 was a challenging year for IDC as the economic downturn led to an industry-wide reduction in capital expenditures,” said Frederick Godard, President and CEO, International Datacasting Corporation. “I believe that IDC’s core technology offering, which was strengthened through the purchase of additional product lines last year, offers significant potential for growth and we are actively pursuing these opportunities. Going forward, we are focused on profitability and we are taking measures to increase our gross margins and to further streamline our operations in order to improve operational efficiencies.” “We are uniquely positioned for the market opportunities that are available to us, including the roll out of digital cinema, IPTV and 3D live events.”
