Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, indicated the Company’s 2nd Quarter Revenues were down $2,824,000 (14.7%) from Revenues in the 2nd Quarter 2007, and Net Income improved $125,000 (6.9%) over the same period. Similarly, Revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $3,732,000 (10.2%) below Revenues in the same period in 2007, but Net Income increased $322,000 (8.8%) over the same period.

 

Revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 reflects continued weakness in the residential construction industry, which was offset somewhat by gains in market share in residential, non-residential and international construction markets. Net income for the six- months ended June 30, 2008 rose primarily, as a result of improved margins related to decreased manufacturing costs, and to a lesser extent a decrease in marketing costs associated with reduced volume and certain administrative costs.
