Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, announced that the Company’s Net Sales for the  first six months of 2013 climbed 22.5% over last year, rising to $35,274,000 from $28,804,000 for the periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Net Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were even more notable, increasing 32.5% over the same period in 2012. 


The Company’s Net Sales show a steady pattern of growth during the year, and currently outpace the rate of recovery in the residential construction market.  The increase largely reflects the widening acceptance of the Company’s newest product offerings.


The Company’s Net Income for the first six months of 2013 was $4,117,000.  During the same period last year the Company had Net Income of $4,397,000, which was bolstered by a one-time insurance legal recovery (ILR) gain of $4,700,000, as previously disclosed.  Excluding that item (and related items such as income taxes on the ILR), the Company recognized an improvement in Net Income for the first half of 2013 of approximately 120% over last year.  For the quarter, Net Income was up over 400% over last year.
