Consolidated sales for the year ended July 31, 2013, were $40.7 million,
compared to $42.1 million in the prior year, a decrease of $1.4 million or 3.3%.
The decrease in sales was largely related to decreases in demand in the third
and fourth quarters for goods in the capital equipment market, and decreases in
demand in the fourth quarter in the automotive industry.


Gross profit for the year ended July 31, 2013, was $6.5 million, or 16.0% of
sales, compared to a gross profit of $7.2 million, or 17.1% of sales, in the
prior year. The decrease in gross profit largely related to reduced levels of
sales as well as a lack of internal capital projects in the current year.


Selling and administrative expenses for the year ended July 31, 2013 were $4.3
million, or 10.6% of sales, compared to $5.5 million, or 13.1% sales, in the
prior year. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses are due to
reductions in professional fees, reductions in commissions payable tied to
decrease in sales, and success in our continued efforts in reducing costs such
as labour and travel.


During the quarter the net realizable value of our Canadian tax credits was
assessed. As a result of the assessment, $0.4 million of previously written off
tax credits were reversed resulting in a $0.3 million increase in net income or
$0.05 per share.


Net income for the year ended July 31, 2013 was $1.7 million or $0.26 per share,
compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.20 per share in the prior year.


"Profitability from operations continues to show an improvement over the prior
year," stated Diane Reko, chief executive officer. "Reko's fourth quarter
results were impacted by a low volume of awards in both the capital equipment
and automotive market, impacting our sales results and workload on our floor.
During this downtime, we used this opportunity to make improvements in our
facility, equipment and process to improve efficiency, thus allowing us to serve
a greater portion of our current market and allow entry into new markets."
