The Company paid cash dividends on common stock of $1.90 and $2.40 per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which included a special dividend of $1.00 and $1.50 per share during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a fiscal 2011 first quarter dividend of $.225 payable September 24, 2010 to shareholders of record on September 3, 2010.

Management expects revenues in fiscal 2011 to remain in line with fiscal year 2010. Expectations are for product mix and margins to remain favorable for fiscal year 2011. During fiscal 2010 new orders received by the Company were approximately $21 million. The order backlog of approximately $31 million at June 30, 2010 gives the Company a solid base of future sales. It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $25 million of orders comprising the June 30, 2010 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The minimum of $25 million does not include any shipments, which may be made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.

Net income for fiscal 2010, was $3,564,962 or $1.67 per share, both basic and diluted, compared to net income of $2,733,240 or $1.30 and $1.29 per share, basic and diluted, respectively, for fiscal 2009. The increase in net income per share was primarily due to higher sales, higher gross profit on sales, offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased interest income.

The Company's working capital as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $25,844,991 and $25,726,492, respectively.
