According to John Scheel, ALJ's Chief Executive Officer, "2008 was a record year for ALJ for revenue and for operating income. A rapid, steep drop in the US and global economic conditions began in our fourth quarter. As a consequence, we have recognized a lower of cost or market adjustment of $3.24 million related to falling steel scrap and billet values. This adjustment negatively impacted our fourth quarter and annual earnings but it properly accounts for the realities of current events and positions us well to weather the recessionary marketplace going forward.

We also reversed a $2.98 million gain taken in the first quarter relating to ongoing expenses for discontinued operations of the predecessor corporation."
