"The company is taking several corrective actions to affect a turnaround plan, improve margins and reduce costs. Comprehensive restructuring and cost cutting has helped streamline the workforce by eliminating 65 percent of employees since January 2001. We also have moved our production overseas to lower cost contract manufacturers. In addition, the company is narrowing its sales and marketing focus to develop a core group of products that will be promoted for the holiday season. We are making progress with restructuring the company's balance sheet, reducing costs and creating a new strategic business plan," said Bill Hartman, CFO of ZAP.
