Sales for the quarter were unfavorably affected when customers made changes to product designs and delivery dates for several significant orders, including one large international order, that delayed the start of manufacturing and shipment until late in the quarter and into the fourth quarter. Sales also reflect a continuing softness in the domestic marketplace for small and mid-sized laboratory projects. Domestic sales were $19,108,000, relatively flat from $19,081,000 in the third quarter last year, while international sales were $3,460,000, up from $2,733,000 in the third quarter last year.Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 were $73,051,000, down 2.8% from sales of $75,151,000, in the same period last year.
