"We are extremely pleased with our improved order entry, sales and net
income results for this quarter, which exceeded our forecasts. The North
American markets stabilized, the European markets continued to strengthen
and sales to the Asian markets marked a new quarterly record high. We
experienced higher demand in most of the industries that we serve,
particularly in the consumer electronics industry, while the semiconductor
industry, as predicted, softened. Our recent acquisition of Swiss LASAG AG,
which closed in mid-October, contributed positively to these results,"
commented Gunther Braun, CEO and President of RSTI. "We believe that the
recovering global macroeconomic climate and our backlog, which is one of the
highest in our Company's history, provide us with a solid basis for the
upcoming quarter."

FINANCIAL REVIEW
- First Quarter -
Net sales totaled $137.1 million for the first quarter ended December 31,
2010, a 48% increase over the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2010. The
strengthening of the US dollar, mainly against the Euro, resulted in a
decrease in net sales of $6.5 million in the first quarter. Gross profit
totaled $56.4 million, or 41% of net sales, compared to $35.9 million, or
39% of net sales, in the same period of fiscal year 2010. RSTI net income
amounted to $14.9 million, or 11% of net sales, compared to $3.6 million, or
4% of net sales, in the comparable quarter last fiscal year. The diluted per
share calculation equaled $0.51 for the quarter based upon 29.0 million
weighted-average common shares outstanding, compared to the diluted per
share calculation of $0.12 based upon 29.4 million weighted-average common
shares outstanding for the same period last fiscal year.
SG&A expenses in the amount of $25.6 million represented 19% of net sales
and increased by $3.8 million compared to last fiscal year's first quarter.
Net R&D expenses increased by $0.9 million to $8.6 million (6% of net
sales), compared to $7.7 million (8% of net sales) in the first quarter in
fiscal year 2010.

million and accounted for 37% of total sales. Sales of lasers for marking

million and in Asia, net sales increased by 93% to $50.7 million.
