Nice to see that you can still give this company a positive spin.

Eco loses $107k before taxes and $2.4M non recurring charge.

I see continuing problems.

with McGinnis saying
"We are currently undergoing a division-by-division review of all our operations and overhead expenses. A main strategic priority is to concentrate on higher margin specialty fabrication services."

Could easily read "Look out for future sales, closures, spin-offs of our losing industrial service business. Including write off's of the goodwill we previously recorded."

Loss includes 2.4 mill one time charge (11 to 12 cents?) from extinguishing of the debt

What does this mean, exactly? I find it extremely disturbing that they didn't really talk about it... maybe I didn't read it carefully enough.

Have you heard anything from IR?
