Highlight of Business Operations:

Our net income includes bargain purchase gains, net of deferred taxes, of $3.4 million and $0.2 million for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of our acquisitions of EMT and Telogy, respectively. Our operating profit modestly decreased, as growth in our rental revenues and sales of new equipment were offset by lower used equipment sales and an increase in depreciation expense of $5.7 million, or 12.0%, as we have invested in additional rental equipment to support our growth, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million, or 11.4%, primarily related to the broadening and strengthening of our sales organization in support of our resale channel, higher rental demand, and future growth opportunities.

Total Revenues: Total revenues for fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $248.6 million and $228.7 million, respectively. The 8.7% increase in total revenues was due to a 9.9% increase in rental and lease revenues and a 7.4% increase in sales of equipment and other revenues.
