Sales volume increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the appliance, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the fitness, telecommunications, gaming, industrial electronics and semiconductor equipment marketplaces.

The Company has seen signs of a slowdown in demand at the beginning of its second quarter of fiscal year 2014 and anticipates an overall sluggish and volatile economy without sustained growth.
