The decreased gross margin percentage was due to higher freight costs for importation of products, the unfavorable impact of the absorption of overhead on the lower sales volume and lower sales of one of the most profitable products. Freight is higher as a percentage of sales due to higher shipping costs and a lower value of purchased product per shipment. Overhead costs were higher on lower sales volume. The primary increase in costs was due to spending approximately $66,000 on prototypes and engineering tests for products expected to be introduced later in fiscal 2011. Sales of a very profitable product mix to foreign distributors were approximately $1,200,000 lower in the three months ended September 30, 2010 than they were in the same period last year.

The increase in operating income was primarily the result of no unauthorized transactions. The elimination of unauthorized transactions was partially offset by the lower gross profit percentage and lower volume. Operating income, excluding the unauthorized transactions and related costs and recoveries, was $1,256,945 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 or 12.5% of net sales compared to $2,910,674 or 25.1% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The net increase in working capital of $2,151,962 from June 30, 2010 primarily represents the increase in accounts receivable and inventory. The accounts receivable increased because of the increase in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. These were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the efforts to get more current with the Companys primary vendors. As of September 30, 2010 the Company had open commitments of approximately $1,065,000 for software and new product development.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,882,038 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $2,891,517 in the three months ended September 30, 2009.
