Second Quarter 2012 Highlights

Murray Gross, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “We once again delivered solid financial results, reporting increased quarterly new order input, revenues and profitability. We continued to maintain a strong balance sheet with approximately $14.6 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt at June 30, 2012.”

Mr. Gross continued, “Our key operating metrics continued to exemplify strength in the second quarter. Our sales performance metrics increased as compared to the same quarter last year as well as consecutively from the first quarter of this year, which we attribute largely to The Home Depot’s emphasis of our product category in their marketing initiatives. Our manufacturing and operations teams met the challenge delivering record output and revenues in the quarter, while maintaining superior Voice Of The Customer satisfaction ratings. Based on our financial results for the quarter, our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share.”
