Highlight of Business Operations:Consolidated net sales were $174.6 million in 2011 compared to $158.3 million in 2010. The effect of foreign exchange was favorable to consolidated 2011 sales results by approximately $2.4 million, or 1.5 percentage points.

COG segment SG&A expenses of $27.2 million, were 17.7% higher than 2010 primarily due to higher selling and marketing expenses related to the sales volume increase.

In 2011, the Company's effective tax rate was 25.5% compared to the Federal tax rate of 35.0%. This difference was due to the effect of income sourced from lower taxed foreign jurisdictions.

Beginning in 2011, earnings in China are subject to the full statutory rate of 25%.
