Consolidated sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2013, were $10.5 million,
compared to $11.1 million in the prior year, a decrease of $0.6 million or 5.4%.
The decrease in sales was largely related to a reduced demand in the capital
equipment market tied to uncertainty in the U.S as a result of government policy
issues. Consolidated sales for the six months ended January 31, 2013 were $21.2
million, compared to $21.6 million in the prior year, a decrease of $0.4
million, or 1.9%.

15.2% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $1.7 million, or 15.3% of sales in
the prior year. The decrease in gross profit in the quarter relates to sales
decrease and an increase in overhead costs. Gross profit for the six months
ended January 31, 2013 were $3.4 million, or 16.0% of sales, compared to a gross
profit of $2.9 million in the prior year, or 13.4% of sales in the prior year.

were $1.2 million, or 11.4% of sales, compared to $1.3 million, or 11.7% sales,
in the prior year. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses in the
quarter relates to reduced wages and expenses from fewer administration
employees, reductions in professional fees associated with IFRS, and reductions
in commission expenses due to lower sales levels. Selling and administrative
expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2013 were $2.2 million, or 10.4%
of sales, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year, or 11.6% of sales.

income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share in the prior year. Net income for the
six months ended January 31, 2013 were $0.9 million or $0.15 per share, compared
to net income of $0.3 million or $0.05 per share in the prior year.
"Our second quarter remained profitable despite the uncertainties in the U.S.
market," stated Diane Reko, chief executive officer. "While our sales level has
fallen slightly from last year, we continue to show an improvement in
profitability. New orders at our manufacturing facility have remained steady and
are currently at capacity, while our custom machining facility has seen a
decrease in volumes due to capital market conditions. In turn, we have broadened
our market strategy and have been able to secure work in other areas to keep our
spindles turning."
