In addition, interest expense continues to be reduced, decreasing by $263,000 in the third quarter as compared to the same three months last year.”

“The Company has solidly positioned itself for continued future growth, by launching new, innovative products, in a variety of promising security-driven market segments and categories. This was quite evident at our showing at the security industry’s largest trade gathering, ISC West, where we launched the most new products our Company has ever debuted.”

Mr. Soloway continued, “We are particularly proud to have won the Best of Show award for our new, breakthrough NAPCO Commercial ™ product platform. This product uniquely integrates intrusion and fire detection capabilities into one high-performance control panel line. This product provides NAPCO dealers with the ability to flexibly install the most advanced, integrated line of 8 to 255 point addressable, analog, fire, intrusion, or combination fire/intrusion control panels, available today. As our successful launch progresses, we are in the process of establishing a powerful presence in the high-margin, commercial sector of the business.

With the launch of our new iBridge™ Online Remote Services, suite of products, NAPCO continues to expand its strong position in the burgeoning, recurring revenue generating, remote services sector of the business. Well received at the show, iBridge gives our installer base and the Company, the ability to generate, substantial, incremental income streams by providing end-user consumers with the capability of remotely viewing video cameras and recordings, interacting with their security systems, controlling energy consumption/thermostats and operating lights at their home or business. This service can be accessed from iPhones™, Blackberrys ™ or Droid ™ operating system phones, iTablets or any personal computer, from anywhere in the world.

Another product launch, focused on providing our Company with future recurring income streams, will be the summer 2011 introduction of our Starlink™ Wireless, GSM Communicator which delivers 2-way, uploading/downloading and full-channel alarm notification, without the need for traditional hard-wired telephone lines. Today’s alarm installation professionals vitally need a wireless link to security systems in the field, as traditional phone lines disappear.”

Mr. Soloway added, “Alarm Lock’s Trilogy Networx wireless networking locking system has become the most successful new product introduction in the Division’s history. This product line enables our standalone locking devices to communicate wirelessly over any size network eliminating labor-intensive door-to-door operations and expensive wire runs. The system uniquely features emergency global lockdown/unlock, which can be deployed in seconds from any Networx lock to defend against intruders.
Marks USA has developed ANSI Grade 1 Institutional Life Safety Locksets to address managed liability, accident prevention, life safety, and security in Behavioral Health Care Institutions. The design the SS50 Series Locksets are designed to provide protection and restrict the attachment of lines, laces, etc. to the door knob. An innovative anti-ligature lever will be introduced this summer, providing sales growth opportunities in the growing mental health care vertical market”.

Mr. Soloway concluded, “We are pleased that our stream-lining and consolidation efforts over the past two years have returned us to profitability in the third quarter. By adding our exciting new products to our standard-setting existing products and keeping our focus on continued expense management, we are optimistic that we can continue this trend of improving profitability and shareholder value.”
