Note:
1 Other income (expense) was $409,000 in the
third quarter of 2006 compared to other expense of ($273,000) in the third
quarter of 2005. $432,000 of third quarter 2006 income was the result of the
exercise of 100,600 warrants issued in December 2001 offset by other expenses
of $23,000. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$703,000 compared to other expense of ($197,000) in 2005. $727,000 of nine month
2006 income was the result of the exercise of 348,567 warrants issued in
December 2001 offset by $24,000 of other expenses.
Our backlog as of September 30, 2006 was $50.1 million compared to $28.9 million as of December 31, 2005.
President, Rick Blum stated “We continue to be pleased with our 2006 results. Although our margins
as a percentage of sales are lower than prior periods, the change is due primarily to a changing product mix
and the negative impact of one large underperforming project which reduced our overall margins by approximately
one percentage point for both the quarter and the nine month period. Despite these factors, our gross profits
have increased significantly.”
Chairman and CEO, Phillip DeZwirek commented “Our order flow this year has remained consistently strong
with bookings through October of over $126 million compared to $69.5 million through October of 2005. We
anticipate that the fourth quarter will reflect this continuing upward trend in revenues and profits.”
