Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased $652,000, or 9.7%, to $7,361,000 when compared to $6,709,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the net sales increased from the prior year on sales of development services and spares, partially offset by decreased sales of mechanical products and repairs, while sales of sensor products were comparable. Our net sales continue to be impacted by the ongoing recession in the business jet and general aviation markets.

 

For the quarter ended April 27, 2012, net income was $413,000 or $0.11 basic and $0.10 diluted earnings per share, versus net loss of ($317,000), or ($0.08) basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended April 29, 2011.

 

“We continue to make good progress in our overall operating performance, despite the persistent slowdown in general aviation and business jet segments,” noted Doug Hillman, President & CEO. “Volatility may occur, but the team continues to stay focused on steadily increasing value for our customers and stockholders.”
