Net Sales - Net sales of $95.9 million and $188.9 million represent increases

of $20.3 million, or 27%, and $6.3 million, or 4%, for the three and six-

month periods ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period

in fiscal 2009. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2010,

resulted from a net sales increase of $20.6 million, or 35%, in Europe and

Asia, and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2%, in North America, compared to

the corresponding period in fiscal 2009. The increase for the six months

ended March 31, 2010, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2009,

resulted from a net sales increase of $8.8 million, or 6%, in Europe and

Asia, and a decrease of $2.4 million, or 7%, in North America. The U.S.

dollar weakened against foreign currencies, primarily against the Euro, which

had a favorable effect on net sales of $4.3 million and $9.7 million for the

three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010.



Net sales of laser products for macro applications increased by $9.7 million,

or 32%, to $39.9 million and by $9.9 million, or 14%, to $81.5 million for

the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the

corresponding periods of fiscal 2009. The increase can be mainly attributed

to the higher demand for our lasers for macro applications in the machine

tool and automotive industry.



Gross Profit - Our gross profit of $37.2 million and $73.1 million for the

three and the six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, represents increases of

$9.3 million, or 33%, and $2.4 million, or 3%, from the corresponding periods

of fiscal year 2009. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased from

37% to 39% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, and remained

unchanged at 39% for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared

to the corresponding periods in fiscal year 2009. The increase in our gross

margins was mainly the result of the higher level of business with the

corresponding higher absorption of fixed costs, and an increase in our

service and spare parts revenue. Gross profit was favorably affected by $1.1

million and $3.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended March 31,

2010, respectively, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign

currencies, primarily against the Euro.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Selling, general and

administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $23.2 million and $45.0 million for the

three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, represent an increase of

$2.4 million or 11% for the three-month period, and a decrease of $0.6

million or 1%, from the corresponding periods of fiscal 2009. The increase

in SG&A expenses is mainly a result of increased trade show activity, as well

as higher commissions related to the higher level of business. Additionally,

SG&A, a significant portion of which is incurred in foreign currencies, was

unfavorably affected by $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six-

month periods ended March 31, 2010, respectively, due to the weakening of the

U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. As a percentage

of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased from 28% to 24% and from 25% to 24% for

the three and six-month periods during the respective periods.



Income Tax Expense - Income tax expense of $2.1 million and $4.4 million for

the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, represents an effective

tax rate of 31% and 34% for the three and six-month periods, compared to 19%

and 29% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The higher overall

effective income tax rate is primarily the result of lower taxable income

generated in countries with lower tax rates. Income tax expense, a

significant portion of which is incurred in foreign currencies, was

unfavorably affected by $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six-

month periods ended March 31, 2010, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar

against foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.
