Mitchell Binder, President  & Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our operating performance was once again very strong for the second quarter.  Due to the 18.8% increase in net sales, the operating leverage inherent in our business and our lower cost structure, our net income for the second quarter increased by 550% over the prior year’s second quarter.  For the first half of 2011, net sales increased by 20.7% and we recorded an improvement in profitability of almost $2,000,000 over the same period of last year.”
 
Mr. Binder continued, “Although our second quarter gross margin improved from the prior year, it was lower than the first quarter due to higher material costs associated with pre-production and initial production contracts that were shipped by each of the operating units in our Electronics Group during the quarter.  These additional costs slightly depressed the second quarter gross margin, which reduced Orbit’s operating leverage stemming from increased sales.  Had these shipments contained our more typical material costs, we estimate that our gross margin would have been in excess of 44%.  Our Orbit Instrument Division will continue to have higher than normal material costs in the second half of the year for one large high value program.  Our Power Group’s gross margin increased from the first quarter and benefited from its operating leverage due to increased sales.

“Additionally, our total selling, general and administrative (S, G & A) expenses remain under control.  Actual expenses remained approximately the same as the first quarter and as a percentage of net sales, our S, G & A expenses declined to 28.8% and 31.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 35.6% and 39.6%, respectively, in the same periods of 2010.”

David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “Our financial condition remains strong.  At June 30, 2011, total current assets were $21,298,000 versus total current liabilities of $5,520,000 for a 3.9 to 1 current ratio.  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2011 decreased to approximately $300,000, which was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable and inventories.  Our inventories at mid-year increased by $1.5 million from December 31, 2010 as we prepare for continued high shipment levels projected in the third quarter due to customer delivery schedules.  To offset profits from federal and state taxes, we have approximately $21 million and $7 million in available federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which should enhance future cash flow.  Our tangible book value at June 30, 2011 was $3.39 per share, compared to $3.19 per share at March 31, 2011, and $3.07 per share at December 31, 2010.  The Company was also in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2011 and our primary lender has extended the expiration date of our line of credit from August 15, 2011 to October 1, 2011.  Following a quarterly review of our business by our lender, we expect the line of credit to be further extended until the second quarter of 2012.”

Mr. Binder concluded, “Overall business conditions remain very strong.  Our backlog at June 30, 2011 of $18.3 million increased 11.6% compared to one year earlier.  Our Electronics and Power Groups bookings/orders for the first half of 2011 were up 18% and 76%, respectively, to a blended rate of 40.4%, as compared to the same period of 2010.  Most of the orders received this year also have delivery dates in 2011 through the first half of 2012.  While we welcome the significant increase in second quarter results, we expect our quarterly performance for the second half will be more in line with our 2011 first quarter.  Finally, in addition to growing our Company organically, we continue to seek strategic accretive acquisitions. Our efforts, which are in the preliminary stage, continue to be focused on adding to our Power Group.”
