For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we reported revenues of $27.9 million, operating income of $8.2 million and net income of $5.4 million, up 7 percent, 16 percent and 17 percent, respectively, from the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Consolidated net income totaled $5.4 million, or $2.69 per basic and $2.67 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. This is compared with consolidated net income of $4.7 million, or $2.35 per basic and $2.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009.

Our second quarter 2010 operating expenses of $4.9 million were $144,000 lower than the operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was comprised of a $170,000 decrease in Selling expenses and a $85,000 decrease in R&D expenses partially offset by a $111,000 increase in General and Administrative, or G&A, expenses. The decrease in R&D costs was primarily related to reduced outside services and compensation partially offset by prototype and development supplies. The decrease in Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2010 was primarily related to decreased compensation and travel costs partially offset by increased advertising and promotion expense. The increase in G&A expenses for the second quarter of 2010 was principally attributable to increased compensation, increased outside services and travel.

Consolidated net income totaled $10.1 million, or $5.01 per basic and $4.98 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2010.
