Mr. David O’Neil, President and CEO, commented,

The financial results for this quarter were excellent and on par with our expectations. Sales were higher when compared to the prior year, a direct result of the large backlog and the overall strength of new sales order bookings over the last several years. Earnings per share for the quarter were solid, the increase a direct result of the higher sales and product mix. To date, we have made significant progress in turning around open positions faster, allowing us to maintain consistency in our ongoing operations. New orders were lower for the quarter, comparatively, however we are continuing to work to close on several larger contracts in the near-term and expect total annual new orders to post higher than last year.
