Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, stated, “Since concluding the extended negotiations on our restructured debt agreement in October, we have turned our full focus on sales growth, new products and continued expense reductions. As a result, our second quarter saw increases in sales, gross profit and net income as compared to the second quarter a year ago. In addition, selling, general and administrative and interest expenses in the second quarter were reduced by $429,000 as compared to the same three months last year.”

Mr. Soloway added “Our second quarter saw the introduction by Marks USA of BHMA certified, Grade 1 door closers and Grade 1 and 2 exit devices. These two critical product areas, combined with Marks’ legendary Grade 1 and 2 mortise locksets, provide the Company with a formidable “triple play” of products when specifying new construction projects or selling to contract hardware dealers. This triad of key product areas positions Marks powerfully in providing its customers with a “one supplier” marketing approach.”

Mr. Soloway continued “Initial orders for our new NAPCO Commercial ™ product line have been very promising. The product line provides intrusion and fire alarm dealers with the most advanced, integrated line of 8 to 255 point addressable, analog, commercial, wired or wireless, fire, intrusion, or combination fire/intrusion control panels, in its category. The national rollout is providing incremental interest and applications to NAPCO in the form of banks, hospitals, office buildings, retail outlets and other commercial venues. NAPCO Commercial has provided the Company with a strong entry in the robust, high margin, commercial fire/intrusion/life safety market segment.”

“Our Company’s line of service-driven, recurring revenue generating products continues to grow nicely in sales volume. The introduction of our wireless iSee Video™ product line has made it easier than ever for dealers to install video capabilities in residential and business applications and reap service revenues generated by providing an interactive viewing service, from their cell phones, iTablets or personal computers, to their consumers.”

“Two major product initiatives will be launched in early summer. First, our 2-way, uploading/downloading, next generation of Starlink™ Wireless, GSM Communicators will provide dealers with the ability to do away with the need for traditional phone lines to communicate alarms. Next, NAPCO will launch its new iBridge™ Online Remote Services, suite of products. This product line will provide consumers with the ability to view video cameras and recordings, control thermostats and appliances, operate lighting and interact with their alarm systems, remotely from any cell phone, iTablet, personal computer or any other product that provides online, internet communications. The product will use an advanced 7-inch, wireless iTablet to interact locally with the system. Both of these product introductions will be oriented toward delivering recurring revenue income streams for the Company.”

Mr. Soloway concluded, “We are pleased that our recent efforts have begun to generate both higher sales and higher profitability. As we continue these efforts, we are hopeful that they will result in further improvements in all areas. We believe this, combined with our large network of security dealers who install our extensive and technologically advanced line of products, puts us in a much healthier position as economic conditions improve and market demand increases. We are confident that our restructured operations will allow us to grow stronger as the world markets rebound from the economic crisis of the past few years.”
