Mr. Peter J. Burlage, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “We are very pleased with our successful turnaround in net earnings this year which is attributable to our growth in revenues that have higher gross profit margins as well as containment of overhead expenses. Our Separation / Filtration segment has reported an excellent second quarter and six months with significant gains in both revenue and operating income. The Environmental Systems segment reported an increase in revenues and operating income year-to-date but reported a decline in the second quarter compared to last year. This segment continues to see substantial activity in the marketplace with sizable projects that have longer lead times. Based on our business activity in this segment, we believe the second half of this fiscal year will show continued improvement.”
Commenting on the Company’s backlog and financial condition, Mr. Burlage said, “The backlog of $37 million at December 31, 2006, unchanged from this time last year, reflects the lower order entry dollar amounts from the Environmental Systems segment this year. A majority of the backlog is scheduled to ship this fiscal year. The Company’s financial position, liquidity and capital resources at December 31, 2006 are sufficient to meet the Company’s needs.”
