Highlight of Business Operations:
We reported operating income of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to an operating loss of $949,000 in the same period of 2009. We reported operating income of $4.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million for the comparable period of 2009. Our operating income increased in the second quarter of 2010 over the comparable 2009 quarter primarily due to the effects of (i) an increase in customer order rates across all business segments due to improved economic conditions in North America resulting in higher sales which increased utilization of production capacity and improved coverage of fixed manufacturing costs, (ii) lower litigation expense for the quarter and (iii) a $700K write-down related to assets held for sale recorded in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by the negative effects of relative changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The above items also impacted the six-month period comparison, except that litigation expense was higher for the 2010 year-to-date period.Litigation Expense.
