The results continue to reflect the recent reclassification of the Company's Alanco/TSI PRISM and Excel Meridian Data subsidiaries as "Discontinued Operations" in concert with the Company's strategic plan to focus on growth of the Company's StarTrak wireless monitoring services business, now reported as the Company's sole "Continuing Operation." Second quarter sales increased 22% over the first quarter to $3,627,200; a 7% increase compared to the prior year period. Gross profit for the second quarter increased 55% to $1,467,900, compared to the $942,400 in gross profit reported in last year's second quarter. The significant gross profit increase resulted from gross margin improvement to 40.5% from 27.8% in the prior year second quarter. The Company reported second quarter EBITDA, before stock-based compensation and corporate expense from continuing operations, of $93,100, a $474,200 improvement versus the ($381,100) loss reported in the prior year period. See Schedule II below for a reconciliation of EBITDA before Stock-based compensation and Corporate Expense. The Company's Loss from Continuing Operations for the second quarter of decreased 44%, to ($586,700) compared to the prior year's second quarter Loss from Continuing Operations of ($1,053,200). Results from Discontinued Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were a loss of ($603,600), compared to a loss of ($197,500) reported for the comparable prior quarter. The significant increase was primarily due to a $325,000 impairment charge the Company recorded to reflect the anticipated reduced sales value of the data storage segment. Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco Chairman and CEO, commented, "StarTrak's sales growth has resumed, with an increase of 22% compared to the prior quarter. Gross profit and EBITDA improvements further reflect the Company's significant turnaround compared to the prior year period. Both order backlog and current sales activity have dramatically increased during the second quarter, and we anticipate continued sequential sales growth in the third and final quarter ending June 30, 2010." Comparisons of operating results for the six-months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below as Schedule I.
