Consolidated sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2013, were $10.5 million, compared to $11.1 million in the prior year, a decrease of $0.6 million or 5.4%.

The decrease in gross profit in the quarter relates to sales decrease and an increase in overhead costs. Gross profit for the six months ended January 31, 2013 were $3.4 million, or 16.0% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $2.9 million in the prior year, or 13.4% of sales in the prior year.

The decrease in selling and administrative expenses in the quarter relates to reduced wages and expenses from fewer administration employees, reductions in professional fees associated with IFRS, and reductions in commission expenses due to lower sales levels. Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2013 were $2.2 million, or 10.4% of sales, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year, or 11.6% of sales.

"Our second quarter remained profitable despite the uncertainties in the U.S. market," stated Diane Reko, chief executive officer. "While our sales level has fallen slightly from last year, we continue to show an improvement in profitability. New orders at our manufacturing facility have remained steady and are currently at capacity, while our custom machining facility has seen a decrease in volumes due to capital market conditions. In turn, we have broadened our market strategy and have been able to secure work in other areas to keep our spindles turning."
