Sam Russell, Chairman, commented, �Although the first quarter of 2007 showed a 44% increase in sales over the first quarter of 2006, our performance did not meet the internal goals we had set as a management team. Some of our plans for vertical integration of products had been delayed due to customer review and acceptance. We believe that these delays are temporary, and we will see the increased benefit of this integration throughout the rest of 2007.� Simclar, Inc., with five North American manufacturing locations, and two regional Sales/NPI locations has been engaged in contract manufacturing of electronic and electro-mechanical products for OEMs for 31 years.
