Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased by 7.6% to $50,695,000 as compared to $47,121,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in sales for the three months was primarily due to increased sales in the Company s door-locking products ($1,270,000) and intrusion products ($560,000). The increase in sales for the nine months was primarily due to increased sales in the Company s door-locking products ($2,354,000) and intrusion products ($1,287,000). Sales for the three and nine months of the Company s access control products remained constant as compared to the same periods a year ago.


Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased to $5,513,000 or 31.0% of sales as compared to $4,151,000 or 25.9% of sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased to $13,626,000 or 26.9% of sales as compared to $11,482,000 or 24.4% of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in Gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months was primarily due to the increases in sales described above as well as the Company keeping overhead costs relatively constant. In addition, the Company received a $623,000 repayment from the seller in the Marks acquisition. This repayment related to inventory that remained unsold since the acquisition and, accordingly, is recorded as a reduction of Cost of sales. The Company also recorded a charge to inventory obsolescence of $500,000.


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $123,000 to $4,856,000, or 27.3% of sales, as compared to $4,979,000, or 31.1% of sales a year ago.

The decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine months was due primarily to a tradeshow, that occurred in the third quarter of last year, occurring subsequent to the third quarter in the current year, the reduction of bank fees relating to amendments and waivers, lower stock option expense as existing grants become fully amortized and reduced wages resulting from the consolidation of the Marks company into the Company s operations in Amityville, N.Y.


Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $263,000 to $328,000 as compared to $591,000 for the same period a year ago. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $426,000 to $1,333,000 as compared to $1,759,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 resulted from lower interest rates charged by the Company s banks as well as lower outstanding debt in the current period.
