European sales decreased $13,000, or 3.1%, in the half of Fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2010. The decrease in the European market has been caused by the continuing weaknesses in the automotive, bearing and aircraft industries and its impact on the machine tool industry in this region.
