Financial Results: The Company reported revenues of $32.3 million for the third quarter, which was an increase of 37.0 percent as compared to the same period last year. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to the addition of new customers and increased revenues from existing customers. Gross profit increased 34.6 percent to $5.6 million during the third quarter with respective gross margins of 17.2 percent as compared to 17.5 percent last year. SG&A expense during the third quarter totaled $3.6 million and as a percentage of revenue declined to 11.1 percent as compared to 12.1 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating income experienced a 53.8 percent increase to $2.0 million as compared to $1.3 million last year. As a result of strong revenue growth and a conscious decision to control expenses operating income showed an improvement to 6.1 percent from 5.4 percent for the year ago period. Net income for the period increased 129.2 percent to $2.3 million up from $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2005 despite the inclusion of income tax expense and the aforementioned stock option expense during the quarter. Earnings per share for the third quarter were $0.05 which increased from $0.03 in the prior year period. Fully diluted shares utilized to calculate earnings per share during the third quarter totaled 45.0 million or a 37.5 percent increase versus last year primarily as a result of the Company's February 2006 stock offering. Commenting on the Company's financial results Joe Bedewi, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "During the third quarter we further executed on our strategy to win new contracts, expand our pace of business and capture the inherent operating synergies associated with a higher overall base of revenue. We will look to continue to control our costs and improve our overall level of profitability." For the nine-month period, revenues were $83.1 million, which increased 29.2 percent as compared to the prior year period. Gross profit increased 18.0 percent to $14.0 million primarily driven by strong growth in overall revenue. Operating income for the period totaled $3.7 million or a 6.0 percent decrease as compared to last year. Net income for the nine-month period increased 40.5 percent to $4.9 million with the increase a result of higher overall revenues, other income and a fiscal 2006 first quarter tax benefit offsetting lower overall comparable gross and operating margins. The Company completed the third quarter with $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, down slightly from the $8.9 million at the end of fiscal 2005. Including trading securities the Company's total assets were $132.5 million. Shareholder's equity at the end of the third quarter was $108.3 million, a 206.5 percent increase as compared to $35.4 million at the end of fiscal 2005.
