Consolidated Results. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, we reported an operating profit of $10.8 million, as compared to an operating profit of $7.2 million for the comparable prior-year period, which represents a 49% improvement over our prior-year performance, even though our revenue decreased by 5%. This improvement was driven by a $2.0 million improvement in gross profit as a result of a 3.2% improvement in gross margin due to changes in product mix and manufacturing cost reductions, and was also driven by a $1.1 million reduction in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. In addition to operational improvements, the reduced manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses resulted from the cost containment initiatives we have undertaken throughout the Company with particular emphasis in our Healthcare division. In addition, non-recurring restructuring charges decreased by $2.2 during the three months ended December 31, 2009. These improvements were partially offset by an increased investment in research and development (R&D) expenses of $1.7 million in support of new product introductions in both our Security and Healthcare divisions.

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we reported an operating profit of $15.0 million, as compared to an operating profit of $8.3 million for the comparable prior-year period, which represents an 81% improvement over our prior-year performance. This $6.7 million improvement was primarily due to a $6.4 million reduction in SG&A expenses, as a result of our ongoing cost containment initiatives and due to reduced restructuring activities during the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior-year period. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2009, R&D expenses were $0.5 million lower than in the comparable prior-year period. The significant reduction in operating expenses and lower restructuring charges were partially offset by a $3.3 million, or 3%, decrease in gross profit, resulting primarily from a 7% revenue decrease during the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior-year period.

Revenues for the Security division for the three months ended December 31, 2009, decreased $8.0 million, or 12%, to $59.1 million, from $67.1 million for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease was due to a 17% decrease in equipment sales, partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 13%, increase in revenue related to contracts to service such equipment. The decrease in equipment sales was due to timing of shipments as bookings during the quarter of $77.1 million exceeded sales during the quarter by 30% and bookings during the comparable prior-year period by 36%. Increased bookings during the quarter were driven by increased demand for checked baggage screening systems, people screening systems and our cargo inspection equipment. The increase in service revenue was due to the growing installed equipment base, from which we derive service revenues as warranty periods expire.

Revenues for the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division for the three months ended December 31, 2009, decreased by $1.0 million, or 2%, to $43.7 million, from $44.7 million for the comparable prior-year period. Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009, include external sales of $34.5 million, compared to $32.2 million in the comparable prior-year period. This $2.3 million increase was primarily due to sales orders from a defense-industry related customer in our contract manufacturing business. The $3.3 million decrease in intersegment sales resulted from lower sales to both our Security and Healthcare divisions, which is consistent with the decrease in revenues experienced by each of these divisions. Such intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation.

Revenues for the Healthcare division for the six months ended December 31, 2009, decreased $10.5 million, or 9%, to $104.0 million, from $114.5 million for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to: (i) a $3.0 million decrease in patient monitoring revenues; (ii) a $3.7 million decreased in our anesthesia equipment sales revenue; and (iii) a $3.5 million decrease in the revenues of other product lines such as ambulatory blood pressure monitors and pulse oximeters. We believe these decreases were primarily due to the general economic downturn and the uncertainty of healthcare reform legislation which resulted in curtailed spending by U.S. hospitals.

Revenues for the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division for the six months ended December 31, 2009, were virtually unchanged at $89.5 million as compared to $89.6 million for the comparable prior-year period. Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2009, include external sales of $74.0 million, compared to $66.9 million in the comparable prior-year period. This $7.1 million increase was primarily due to sales orders from a defense-industry related customer in our contract manufacturing business. The $7.2 million decrease in intersegment sales from $22.7 million to $15.5 million resulted from lower sales to both our Healthcare and Security divisions, which is directionally consistent with the decrease in revenues experienced by our Security and Healthcare divisions. Such intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation.
